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…
The Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope: 100 Hubbles for the 2020s
Rachel Akeson, Lee Armus, Etienne Bachelet +103
The Wide Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) is a 2.4m space telescope with a 0.281 deg^2 field of view for near-IR imaging and slitless spectroscopy and a coronagraph designe…
