The XXL Survey: I. Scientific motivations - XMM-Newton observing plan - Follow-up observations and simulation programme

M. Pierre, F. Pacaud, C. Adami +89

We present the XXL Survey, the largest XMM programme totaling some 6.9 Ms to date and involving an international consortium of roughly 100 members. The XXL Survey covers two extrag…

The large-scale 3-point correlation function of the SDSS BOSS DR12 CMASS galaxies

Zachary Slepian, Daniel J. Eisenstein, Florian Beutler +15

We report a measurement of the large-scale 3-point correlation function of galaxies using the largest dataset for this purpose to date, 777, 202 Luminous Red Galaxies in the Sloan…

Improving Cosmological Distance Measurements Using Twin Type Ia Supernovae

H. K. Fakhouri, K. Boone, G. Aldering +41

We introduce a method for identifying "twin" Type Ia supernovae, and using them to improve distance measurements. This novel approach to Type Ia supernova standardization is made p…

Signatures of the Primordial Universe from Its Emptiness: Measurement of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations from Minima of the Density Field

Francisco-Shu Kitaura, Chia-Hsun Chuang, Yu Liang +14

Sound waves from the primordial fluctuations of the Universe imprinted in the large-scale structure, called baryon acoustic oscillations (BAOs), can be used as standard rulers to m…

Rapidly Rising Transients in the Supernova - Superluminous Supernova Gap

Iair Arcavi, William M. Wolf, D. Andrew Howell +26

We present observations of four rapidly rising (t_{rise}~10d) transients with peak luminosities between those of supernovae (SNe) and superluminous SNe (M_{peak}~-20) - one discove…

Results from the first use of low radioactivity argon in a dark matter search

The DarkSide Collaboration, P. Agnes, L. Agostino +158

Liquid argon is a bright scintillator with potent particle identification properties, making it an attractive target for direct-detection dark matter searches. The DarkSide-50 dark…

Robust forecasts on fundamental physics from the foreground-obscured, gravitationally-lensed CMB polarization

Josquin Errard, Stephen M. Feeney, Hiranya V. Peiris +1

[Abridged] Recent results from the BICEP, Keck Array and Planck Collaborations demonstrate that Galactic foregrounds are an unavoidable obstacle in the search for evidence of infla…
