Cosmic shear is the distortion of images of distant galaxies due to weak gravitational lensing
by the large-scale structure in the Universe. Such images are coherently deformed by the …

For the last 100 years, General Relativity (GR) has taken over the gravitational theory mantle
held by Newtonian Gravity for the previous 200 years. This article reviews the status of GR in …

The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way plays host to a massive, young
cluster that may have formed in one of the most inhospitable environments in the Galaxy. We …

We present cosmological constraints from 2D weak gravitational lensing by the large-scale
structure in the Canada–France–Hawaii Telescope Lensing Survey (CFHTLenS) which …

This paper presents cosmological results from the final data release of the WiggleZ Dark
Energy Survey. We perform full analyses of different cosmological models using the WiggleZ …

Markov chain Monte Carlo–based Bayesian data analysis has now become the method of
choice for analyzing and interpreting data in almost all disciplines of science. In astronomy …

EOS is an open-source software for a variety of computational tasks in flavor physics. Its use
cases include theory predictions within and beyond the Standard Model of particle physics …

We compute the spherical-sky weak-lensing power spectrum of the shear and convergence.
We discuss various approximations, such as flat-sky, and first-and second-order Limber …

We propose a novel approach for parametrizing the luminosity distance, based on the use of
rational “Padé” approximations. This new technique extends standard Taylor treatments …

It has become increasingly apparent that studying how dark matter haloes are populated by
galaxies can provide new insights into galaxy formation and evolution. In this paper, we …
