A general test of the Copernican Principle
Chris Clarkson, Bruce A. Bassett, Teresa Hui-Ching Lu
The recent discovery of apparent cosmic acceleration has highlighted the depth of our ignorance of the fundamental properties of nature. It is commonly assumed that the explanation…
Is the Dynamics of Tracking Dark Energy Detectable?
Bruce A. Bassett, Mike Brownstone, Antonio Cardoso +5
We highlight the unexpected impact of nucleosynthesis and other early universe constraints on the detectability of tracking quintessence dynamics at late times, showing that such d…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II Supernova Survey: Search Algorithm and Follow-up Observations
Masao Sako, B. Bassett, A. Becker +47
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II Supernova Survey has identified a large number of new transient sources in a 300 sq. deg. region along the celestial equator during its first two se…
A Study of the Type Ia/IIn Supernova 2005gj from X-ray to the Infrared: Paper I
J. L. Prieto, P. M. Garnavich, M. M. Phillips +53
We present extensive ugrizYHJK photometry and optical spectroscopy of SN 2005gj obtained by the SDSS-II and CSP Supernova Projects, which give excellent coverage during the first 1…
Dynamical Dark Energy or Simply Cosmic Curvature?
Chris Clarkson, Marina Cortes, Bruce A. Bassett
We show that the assumption of a flat universe induces critically large errors in reconstructing the dark energy equation of state at z>~0.9 even if the true cosmic curvature is ve…
Optimising Baryon Acoustic Oscillation Surveys - I: Testing the concordance LCDM cosmology
David Parkinson, Chris Blake, Martin Kunz +3
We optimize the design of future spectroscopic redshift surveys for constraining the dark energy via precision measurements of the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO), with particul…
