Weak Lensing Mass Calibration of the ACT DR5 Galaxy Clusters with the DES Year 3 Weak Lensing Data
T. Shin, E. J. Baxter, E. Lee +93
We use weak gravitational lensing measurements from Year 3 Dark Energy Survey data to calibrate the masses of 443 galaxy clusters selected via the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect from At…
An accurate measurement of the spectral resolution of the JWST Near Infrared Spectrograph
Anowar J. Shajib, Tommaso Treu, Alejandra Melo +4
The spectral resolution () of spectroscopic data is crucial information for accurate kinematic measurements. In this letter, we present a robust measurement of t…
Spectroscopic Analysis of Pictor II: a very low metallicity ultra-faint dwarf galaxy bound to the Large Magellanic Cloud
A. B. Pace, T. S. Li, A. P. Ji +30
We present Magellan/IMACS and Magellan/MIKE spectroscopy of the ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) galaxy Pictor~II (Pic~II) that is located only 12 kpc from the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).…
Scalar field dark energy models: Current and forecast constraints
Anowar J. Shajib, Joshua A. Frieman
Recent results from Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO), in combination with cosmic microwave background (CMB) measurements, have focused renewed att…
The Spectroscopic Stage-5 Experiment
Robert Besuner, Arjun Dey, Alex Drlica-Wagner +106
The existence, properties, and dynamics of the dark sectors of our universe pose fundamental challenges to our current model of physics, and large-scale astronomical surveys may be…
