A microphotonic astrocomb

Tobias Kippenberg, Junqiu Liu, Miles Henry Anderson, Tobias Herr, Michael Wolfgang Geiselmann, Stefan Kundermann

Earth-like planets, dark energy and variability of fundamental physical constants can be discovered by observing wavelength shifts in the optical spectra of astronomical objects(1-5). These wavelength shifts are so tiny that exquisitely accurate and precis ...

Cosmological Constraints from Multiple Probes in the Dark Energy Survey

Mingkui Wang, Yi Zhang, Eduardo Sanchez, Jonathan Andrew Blazek

The combination of multiple observational probes has long been advocated as a powerful technique to constrain cosmological parameters, in particular dark energy. The Dark Energy Survey has measured 207 spectroscopically confirmed type Ia supernova light cu ...

Weak-lensing shear measurement with machine learning Teaching artificial neural networks about feature noise

Frédéric Courbin, Malte Tewes, Nicolai Hildebrandt, Thibault Adrien Kuntzer

Cosmic shear, that is weak gravitational lensing by the large-scale matter structure of the Universe, is a primary cosmological probe for several present and upcoming surveys investigating dark matter and dark energy, such as Euclid or WFIRST. The probe re ...

Dark Energy Survey year 1 results: Constraints on extended cosmological models from galaxy clustering and weak lensing

Yi Zhang, Eduardo Sanchez, Jonathan Andrew Blazek

We present constraints on extensions of the minimal cosmological models dominated by dark matter and dark energy, Lambda CDM and wCDM, by using a combined analysis of galaxy clustering and weak gravitational lensing from the first-year data of the Dark Ene ...

The STRong lensing Insights into the Dark Energy Survey (STRIDES) 2016 follow-up campaign - I. Overview and classification of candidates selected by two techniques

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Eduardo Sanchez, Craig Matthew Smith, Hung-Hsu Chan, Riccardo Agnello, Joo Yeon Kim, Augusto Martins Lima, Karina Alexandra Rojas Olate, Cameron Alexander Campbell Lemon

The primary goals of the STRong lensing Insights into the Dark Energy Survey (STRIDES) collaboration are to measure the dark energy equation of state parameter and the free streaming length of dark matter. To this aim, STRIDES is discovering strongly lense ...

Advanced gravitational lensing techniques for precision cosmology

Markus Rexroth

Gravitational lensing - the deflection of light by gravity - has greatly developed since its famous first observation in 1919, which validated Einstein's General Theory of Relativity. The strength of this effect does not depend on the nature of the mass wh ...

Machine-learning methods for weak lensing analysis of the ESA Euclid sky survey

Thibault Adrien Kuntzer

A clear picture has emerged from the last three decades of research: our Universe is expanding at an accelerated rate. The cause of this expansion remains elusive, but in essence acts as a repulsive force. This so-called dark energy represents about 69% of ...

Reversible disassembly of metallasupramolecular structures mediated by a metastable-state photoacid

Kay Severin, Suzanne Maria Jansze, Giacomo Cecot

The addition of a metastable-state photoacid to solutions containing metal–ligand assemblies renders the systems light responsive. Upon irradiation, proton transfer from the photoacid to the ligand is observed, resulting in disassembly of the metallasupram ...

The clustering of galaxies in the completed SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: tomographic BAO analysis of DR12 combined sample in Fourier space

Jean-Paul Richard Kneib

We perform a tomographic baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) analysis using the monopole, quadrupole and hexadecapole of the redshift-space galaxy power spectrum measured from the pre-reconstructed combined galaxy sample of the completed Sloan Digital Sky S ...

Precise measurements of time delays in gravitationally lensed quasars for competitive and independent determination of the Hubble constant

Vivien François Bonvin

During these last decades, by virtue of observations, the Standard Cosmological Model has emerged, providing a description of the Universe's evolution using a minimal set of independent constraints - the cosmological parameters. Among them is the expansion ...
