CFHTLS weak-lensing constraints on the neutrino masses
Ismael Tereno, Carlo Schimd, Jean-Philippe Uzan +3
We use measurements of cosmic shear from CFHTLS, combined with WMAP-5 cosmic microwave background anisotropy data, baryonic acoustic oscillations from SDSS and 2dFGRS and supernova…
Weak Lensing of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations
Alberto Vallinotto, Scott Dodelson, Carlo Schimd +1
Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) have recently been observed in the distribution of distant galaxies. The height and location of the BAO peak are strong discriminators of cosmolo…
Scalar-field quintessence by cosmic shear: CFHT data analysis and forecasts for DUNE
Carlo Schimd, Ismael Tereno
A light scalar field, minimally or not-minimally coupled to the metric field, is a well-defined candidate for the dark energy, overcoming the coincidence problem intrinsic to the c…
DUNE: The Dark Universe Explorer
A. Refregier, O. Boulade, Y. Mellier +22
Understanding the nature of Dark Matter and Dark Energy is one of the most pressing issues in cosmology and fundamental physics. The purpose of the DUNE (Dark UNiverse Explorer) mi…
Tracking quintessence by cosmic shear - Constraints from VIRMOS-Descart and CFHTLS and future prospects
Carlo Schimd, Ismael Tereno, Jean-Philippe Uzan +6
Dark energy can be investigated in two complementary ways, by considering either general parameterizations or physically well-defined models. Following the second route, we explore…
Testing for w<-1 in the Solar System
Jerome Martin, Carlo Schimd, Jean-Philippe Uzan
In scalar-tensor theories of gravity, the equation of state of dark energy, w, can become smaller than -1 without violating any energy condition. The value of w today is tied to th…
