The Deep Lens Survey
D. Wittman, J. A. Tyson, I. P. Dell'Antonio +19
The Deep Lens Survey (DLS) is a deep BVRz' imaging survey of seven 2x2 degree fields, with all data to be made public. The primary scientific driver is weak gravitational lensing,…
LSST: a Complementary Probe of Dark Energy
J. A. Tyson, D. M. Wittman, J. F. Hennawi +1
The number of mass clusters and their distribution in redshift are very sensitive to the density of matter Omega_m and the equation of state of dark energy w. Using weak lens gravi…
Notch Filter Masks: Practical Image Masks for Planet-Finding Coronagraphs
Marc J. Kuchner, David N. Spergel
An ideal coronagraph with a band-limited image mask can efficiently image off-axis sources while removing identically all of the light from an on-axis source. However, strict mask…
Using Supernovae to Determine the Equation of State of the Dark Energy: Is Shallow Better than Deep?
David N. Spergel, Glenn D. Starkman
Measurements of the flux and redshifts of Type Ia supernovae have provided persuasive evidence that the expansion of the universe is accelerating. If true, then in the context of s…
Probing the Invisible Universe: The Case for Far-IR/Submillimeter Interferometry
D. Leisawitz, T. Armstrong, D. Benford +25
The question "How did we get here and what will the future bring?" captures the human imagination and the attention of the National Academy of Science's Astronomy and Astrophysics…
