LSST: from Science Drivers to Reference Design and Anticipated Data Products

Željko Ivezić, +312 more
- 15 May 2008 - 
TL;DR: The LSST design is driven by four main science themes: probing dark energy and dark matter, taking an inventory of the solar system, exploring the transient optical sky, and mapping the Milky Way.

The clustering of galaxies in the completed SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: cosmological analysis of the DR12 galaxy sample

Shadab Alam, +90 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present cosmological results from the final galaxy clustering data set of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey, part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III.

The clustering of galaxies in the sdss-iii baryon oscillation spectroscopic survey: Baryon acoustic oscillations in the data release 9 spectroscopic galaxy sample

Lauren Anderson, +76 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a measurement of the cosmic distance scale from detections of the baryon acoustic oscillations in the clustering of galaxies from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), which is part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III).
Journal ArticleDOI

$f(R,T)$ gravity

TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered a modified theory of gravity, where the gravitational Lagrangian is given by an arbitrary function of the Ricci scalar and of the trace of the stress-energy tensor.

Measuring Cosmological Parameters from the Evolution of Cluster X-Ray Temperatures

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived the cluster X-ray temperature function from two flux-and redshift-limited samples of clusters and performed maximum likelihood fits of cluster evolution models to these data in order to constrain cosmological parameters.

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: Sunyaev Zel'dovich Selected Galaxy Clusters at 148 GHz in the 2008 Survey

TL;DR: In this paper, twenty-three clusters were detected blindly as Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) decrements in a 148 GHz, 455 square-degree map of the southern sky made with data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope 2008 observing season.
Journal ArticleDOI

Short GRB and binary black hole standard sirens as a probe of dark energy

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a collimation of short gamma-ray bursts produced by merging neutron star binaries to measure absolute source distances with high accuracy, which can provide an excellent probe of the expansion history of the universe and the dark energy, when coupled with an independent determination of redshift through an electromagnetic counterpart.
Journal ArticleDOI

Observational Tests of Modified Gravity

TL;DR: The authors examined the relationship between perturbations in the metric potentials, density and velocity fields, and discussed strategies for measuring them using gravitational lensing, galaxy cluster abundances, galaxy clustering/dynamics, and the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect.
