Large Synoptic Survey Telescope: Dark Energy Science Collaboration
LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration
This white paper describes the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC), whose goal is the study of dark energy and related topics in fundamental physics with data from the La…
Serendipitous Discovery of an Overdensity of Lyman-Alpha Emitters at z~4.8 in the Cl1604 Supercluster Field
Brian C. Lemaux, Lori M. Lubin, Marcin Sawicki +6
We present results of a spectroscopic search for Lyman-alpha emitters (LAEs) in the Cl1604 supercluster field using the extensive spectroscopic Keck/DEIMOS database taken as part o…
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…
Strong gravitational lensing probes of the particle nature of dark matter
Leonidas A. Moustakas, Kevork Abazajian, Andrew Benson +44
There is a vast menagerie of plausible candidates for the constituents of dark matter, both within and beyond extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. Each of these ca…
Dark Matter Structures in the Universe: Prospects for Optical Astronomy in the Next Decade
P. J. Marshall, M. Auger, J. G. Bartlett +13
The Cold Dark Matter theory of gravitationally-driven hierarchical structure formation has earned its status as a paradigm by explaining the distribution of matter over large spans…
