Constraints on the Mass, Concentration, and Nonthermal Pressure Support of Six CLASH Clusters from a Joint Analysis of X-ray, SZ, and Lensing Data

Seth R. Siegel, Jack Sayers, Andisheh Mahdavi +17

We present a joint analysis of Chandra X-ray observations, Bolocam thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) effect observations, Hubble Space Telescope (HST) strong lensing data, and HST an…

Measuring the Properties of Dark Energy with Photometrically Classified Pan-STARRS Supernovae. I. Systematic Uncertainty from Core-Collapse Supernova Contamination

D. O. Jones, D. M. Scolnic, A. G. Riess +18

The Pan-STARRS (PS1) Medium Deep Survey discovered over 5,000 likely supernovae (SNe) but obtained spectral classifications for just 10% of its SN candidates. We measured spectrosc…

iPTF16geu: A multiply imaged, gravitationally lensed type Ia supernova

A. Goobar, R. Amanullah, S. R. Kulkarni +31

We report the discovery of a multiply-imaged gravitationally lensed Type Ia supernova, iPTF16geu (SN 2016geu), at redshift . This phenomenon could be identified because th…

Cross-correlation between X-ray and optical/near-infrared background intensity fluctuations

Ketron Mitchell-Wynne, Asantha Cooray, Yongquan Xue +3

Angular power spectra of optical and infrared background anisotropies at wavelengths between 0.5 to 5 m are a useful probe of faint sources present during reionization, in addit…

Is the expansion of the universe accelerating? All signs point to yes

David Rubin, Brian Hayden

The accelerating expansion of the universe is one of the most profound discoveries in modern cosmology, pointing to a universe in which 70% of the mass-energy density has an unknow…

SPT-GMOS: A Gemini/GMOS-South Spectroscopic Survey of Galaxy Clusters in the SPT-SZ Survey

M. B. Bayliss, J. Ruel, C. W. Stubbs +75

We present the results of SPT-GMOS, a spectroscopic survey with the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) on Gemini South. The targets of SPT-GMOS are galaxy clusters identified…
