Improved Photometric Redshifts via Enhanced Estimates of System Response, Galaxy Templates, and Magnitude Priors
Samuel J. Schmidt, Paul Thorman
Wide, deep photometric surveys require robust photometric redshift estimates (photo-z's) for studies of large-scale structure. These estimates depend critically on accurate photome…
Large Synoptic Survey Telescope: Dark Energy Science Collaboration
LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration
This white paper describes the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC), whose goal is the study of dark energy and related topics in fundamental physics with data from the La…
Discovery of a Dissociative Galaxy Cluster Merger with Large Physical Separation
William A. Dawson, David Wittman, Myungkook Jee +10
We present DLSCL J0916.2+2951 (z=0.53), a newly discovered major cluster merger in which the collisional cluster gas has become dissociated from the collisionless galaxies and dark…
Characterizing and Propagating Modeling Uncertainties in Photometrically-Derived Redshift Distributions
Augusta Abrahamse, Lloyd Knox, Samuel Schmidt +3
The uncertainty in the redshift distributions of galaxies has a significant potential impact on the cosmological parameter values inferred from multi-band imaging surveys. The accu…
