The large scale structure probes of dark energy

Abstract

We present a brief review on the large scale structure (LSS) probes of dark energy. We cover probes that directly constrain dark energy such as baryon acoustic oscillation, redshift space distortion, weak lensing and cluster number count. We also review auxiliary probes that mitigate systematics in dark energy constraints, such as the SZ effect to constrain baryonic effect and broadband galaxy clustering to calibrate photometric redshift. We demonstrate the synergy between these probes in delivering dark energy constraint of both high precision and high accuracy.
