Image simulations for strong and weak gravitational lensing
Andrés A. Plazas
Gravitational lensing has been identified as a powerful tool to address fundamental problems in astrophysics at different scales, ranging from exoplanet identification to dark ener…
Observation and Confirmation of Nine Strong Lensing Systems in Dark Energy Survey Year 1 Data
B. Nord, E. Buckley-Geer, H. Lin +63
We describe the observation and confirmation of \nbconfirmtext\ new strong gravitational lenses discovered in Year 1 data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES). We created candidate li…
Dark Energy Survey Year 1 results: The relationship between mass and light around cosmic voids
Y. Fang, N. Hamaus, B. Jain +74
What are the mass and galaxy profiles of cosmic voids? In this paper we use two methods to extract voids in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year 1 redMaGiC galaxy sample to address th…
WFIRST: The Essential Cosmology Space Observatory for the Coming Decade
O. Doré, C. Hirata, Y. Wang +46
Two decades after its discovery, cosmic acceleration remains the most profound mystery in cosmology and arguably in all of physics. Either the Universe is dominated by a form of da…
Inflation and Dark Energy from spectroscopy at
Simone Ferraro, Michael J. Wilson, Muntazir Abidi +140
The expansion of the Universe is understood to have accelerated during two epochs: in its very first moments during a period of Inflation and much more recently, at , when D…
Dark Matter Science in the Era of LSST
Keith Bechtol, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Kevork N. Abazajian +177
Astrophysical observations currently provide the only robust, empirical measurements of dark matter. In the coming decade, astrophysical observations will guide other experimental…
