Shear-Selected Clusters From the Deep Lens Survey III: Masses from Weak Lensing
Alexandra Abate, D. Wittman, V. E. Margoniner +4
We present weak lensing mass estimates of seven shear-selected galaxy cluster candidates from the Deep Lens Survey. The clusters were previously identified as mass peaks in converg…
Wide-Field Astronomical Surveys in the Next Decade
M. A. Strauss, J. A. Tyson, S. F. Anderson +28
Wide-angle surveys have been an engine for new discoveries throughout the modern history of astronomy, and have been among the most highly cited and scientifically productive obser…
Dark Matter Structures in the Universe: Prospects for Optical Astronomy in the Next Decade
P. J. Marshall, M. Auger, J. G. Bartlett +13
The Cold Dark Matter theory of gravitationally-driven hierarchical structure formation has earned its status as a paradigm by explaining the distribution of matter over large spans…
Parametrization and Classification of 20 Billion LSST Objects: Lessons from SDSS
Z. Ivezic, T. Axelrod, A. C. Becker
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will be a large, wide-field ground-based system designed to obtain, starting in 2015, multiple images of the sky that is visible from Cer…
Distance, Growth Factor, and Dark Energy Constraints from Photometric Baryon Acoustic Oscillation and Weak Lensing Measurements
Hu Zhan, Lloyd Knox, J. Anthony Tyson
Baryon acoustic oscillations (BAOs) and weak lensing (WL) are complementary probes of cosmology. We explore the distance and growth factor measurements from photometric BAO and WL…
