Cosmological Inference from Host-Selected Type Ia Supernova Samples

Syed A Uddin, Jeremy Mould, Chris Lidman +2

We compare two Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) samples that are drawn from a spectroscopically confirmed SN Ia sample: a host-selected sample in which SNe Ia are restricted to those that…

A Type II Supernova Hubble diagram from the CSP-I, SDSS-II, and SNLS surveys

T. de Jaeger, S. González-Gaitán, M. Hamuy +15

The coming era of large photometric wide-field surveys will increase the detection rate of supernovae by orders of magnitude. Such numbers will restrict spectroscopic follow-up in…

Cosmological constraints with weak lensing peak counts and second-order statistics in a large-field survey

Austin Peel, Chieh-An Lin, Francois Lanusse +3

Peak statistics in weak lensing maps access the non-Gaussian information contained in the large-scale distribution of matter in the Universe. They are therefore a promising complem…

The Quantum Field Theory of K-mouflage

Philippe Brax, Patrick Valageas

We consider K-mouflage models which are K-essence theories coupled to matter. We analyse their quantum properties and in particular the quantum corrections to the classical Lagrang…
