Optimising cosmic shear surveys to measure modifications to gravity on cosmic scales
Donnacha Kirk, Istvan Laszlo, Sarah Bridle +1
We consider how upcoming photometric large scale structure surveys can be optimized to measure the properties of dark energy and possible cosmic scale modifications to General Rela…
Disentangling dark energy and cosmic tests of gravity from weak lensing systematics
Istvan Laszlo, Rachel Bean, Donnacha Kirk +1
We consider the impact of key astrophysical and measurement systematics on constraints on dark energy and modifications to gravity on cosmic scales. We focus on upcoming photometri…
Wide-Field InfraRed Survey Telescope (WFIRST) Interim Report
James Green, Paul Schechter, Charles Baltay +19
In December 2010, NASA created a Science Definition Team (SDT) for WFIRST, the Wide Field Infra-Red Survey Telescope, recommended by the Astro 2010 Decadal Survey as the highest pr…
Universality in D-brane Inflation
Nishant Agarwal, Rachel Bean, Liam McAllister +1
We study the six-field dynamics of D3-brane inflation for a general scalar potential on the conifold, finding simple, universal behavior. We numerically evolve the equations of mot…
Screening bulk curvature in the presence of large brane tension
Nishant Agarwal, Rachel Bean, Justin Khoury +1
We study a flat brane solution in an effective 5D action for cascading gravity and propose a mechanism to screen extrinsic curvature in the presence of a large tension on the brane…
