Report of the Dark Energy Task Force
Andreas Albrecht, Gary Bernstein, Robert Cahn +10
Dark energy appears to be the dominant component of the physical Universe, yet there is no persuasive theoretical explanation for its existence or magnitude. The acceleration of th…
The Shear TEsting Programme 2: Factors affecting high precision weak lensing analyses
Richard Massey, Catherine Heymans, Joel Berge +28
The Shear TEsting Programme (STEP) is a collaborative project to improve the accuracy and reliability of weak lensing measurement, in preparation for the next generation of wide-fi…
Evaluating Dark Energy Probes using Multi-Dimensional Dark Energy Parameters
Andreas Albrecht, Gary Bernstein
We investigate the value of future dark energy experiments by modeling their ability to constrain the dark energy equation of state. Similar work was recently reported by the Dark…
Shear Recovery Accuracy in Weak Lensing Analysis with Elliptical Gauss-Laguerre Method
Reiko Nakajima, Gary Bernstein
We implement the Elliptical Gauss-Laguerre (EGL) galaxy-shape measurement method proposed by Bernstein & Jarvis (2002) and quantify the shear recovery accuracy in weak lensing anal…
Dark energy constraints from lensing-detected galaxy clusters
Laura Marian, Gary M. Bernstein
We study the ability of weak lensing surveys to detect galaxy clusters and constrain cosmological parameters, in particular the equation of state of dark energy. There are two majo…
Systematic effects in the sound horizon scale measurements
Jacek Guzik, Gary Bernstein, Robert E. Smith
We investigate three potential sources of bias in distance estimations made assuming that a very simple estimator of the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) scale provides a standard…
