SPEAKER: Agnes Ferte (KIPAC, SLAC)-TITLE: Preparing for discovery of new physics with the Rubin Observatory
March 31, 2023 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
This is an In-Person [HYBRID] Event
LOCATION: Sessler Conference Room – 50A – 5132
DATE: March 31, 2023
TIME: 12:00 PM
TITLE: Preparing for discovery of new physics with the Rubin Observatory
ABSTRACT: The coming decade will offer a unique opportunity to tests physics using cosmological probes, thanks to the new generation of galaxy surveys such as LSST by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory and CMB experiments. We will be able to test dark energy and the laws of gravity on cosmic scales with unprecedented precision, both through the evolution of the background and growth of structures in the Universe. I will explain the multiprobe analysis we performed, especially focusing on weak gravitational lensing, and results we obtained using Dark Energy Survey data (arxiv:2207.05766), precursor of LSST. I will then describe how such analyses with future data are shaping and the gaps left to fill. I will end by describing the status of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, under construction in Chile and its future.
