Taming Additive Systematics via Redshift-Bin-Optimized Star-Galaxy Separation

Noah Weaverdyck, David Schlegel, Anand Raichoor +1

Contamination from stars in the galaxy samples of large-scale structure surveys can bias cosmological constraints if not tightly controlled. This is especially true for lens sample…

Testing CDM versus dynamical dark energy in one year: A DESI spectroscopic follow-up program for Rubin supernovae

Jannik Truong, Greg Aldering, Saul Perlmutter +2

Combined cosmological probes currently indicate that best-fit values in the parametrization of dynamical dark energy deviate from CDM by . In this work, we pre…

The Carousel Lens II: Cosmological Constraints with GIGA-Lens

Felipe Urcelay, Xiaosheng Huang, William Sheu +28

The nature of dark matter and dark energy are among the central questions in cosmology. Strong gravitational lenses with multiple source planes provide a geometric probe of cosmolo…

A Novel Lensed Point Source Modeling Pipeline using GIGA-Lens with Application to SN Zwicky and SN iPTF16geu

Saul Baltasar, Nicolas Ratier-Werbin, Xiaosheng Huang +5

We introduce a novel modeling pipeline for strongly lensed point sources, using the GIGA-Lens framework, running on four A100 GPUs via the JAX platform. Using simulations, we demon…
