LSST Science Book, Version 2.0
LSST Science Collaboration, Paul A. Abell, Julius Allison +245
A survey that can cover the sky in optical bands over wide fields to faint magnitudes with a fast cadence will enable many of the exciting science opportunities of the next decade.…
Cosmic Evolution of Virial and Stellar Mass in Massive Early-Type Galaxies
David J. Lagattuta, Christopher D. Fassnacht, Matthew W. Auger +7
We measure the average mass properties of a sample of 41 strong gravitational lenses at moderate redshift (z ~ 0.4 - 0.9), and present the lens redshift for 6 of these galaxies for…
Evidence for the accelerated expansion of the Universe from weak lensing tomography with COSMOS
Tim Schrabback, Jan Hartlap, Benjamin Joachimi +19
We present a tomographic cosmological weak lensing analysis of the HST COSMOS Survey. Applying our lensing-optimized data reduction, principal component interpolation for the ACS P…
Focusing Cosmic Telescopes: Exploring Redshift z~5-6 Galaxies with the Bullet Cluster 1E0657-56
M. Bradač, T. Treu, D. Applegate +7
The gravitational potential of clusters of galaxies acts as a cosmic telescope allowing us to find and study galaxies at fainter limits than otherwise possible and thus probe close…
Low-Energy Astrophysics: Stimulating the Reduction of Energy Consumption in the Next Decade
P. J. Marshall, N. Bennert, E. S. Rykoff +27
In this paper we address the consumption of energy by astronomers while performing their professional duties. Although we find that astronomy uses a negligible fraction of the US e…
Strong Gravitational Lensing as a Probe of Gravity, Dark-Matter and Super-Massive Black Holes
L. V. E. Koopmans, M. Auger, M. Barnabe +26
Whereas considerable effort has been afforded in understanding the properties of galaxies, a full physical picture, connecting their baryonic and dark-matter content, super-massive…
