Constraining Cosmology with High Convergence Regions in Weak Lensing Surveys
Sheng Wang, Zoltán Haiman, Morgan May
We propose to use a simple observable, the fractional area of "hot spots" in weak gravitational lensing mass maps which are detected with high significance, to determine background…
Challenges to the DGP Model from Horizon-Scale Growth and Geometry
Wenjuan Fang, Sheng Wang, Wayne Hu +3
We conduct a Markov Chain Monte Carlo study of the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (DGP) self-accelerating braneworld scenario given the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy, super…
LSST: from Science Drivers to Reference Design and Anticipated Data Products
Željko Ivezić, Steven M. Kahn, J. Anthony Tyson +310
(Abridged) We describe here the most ambitious survey currently planned in the optical, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). A vast array of science will be enabled by a sin…
