Challenges to the Lambda CDM Cosmology

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: George Efstathiou, , , , | Summary: Observations of the cosmic microwave backgroundradiation are described to remarkable accuracy by the six-parameterLambda CDM cosmology. However, the key ingredients of this model, namely dark matter, dark energy and cosmic inflation are not understood at a fundamental level. It is […]

Weak-Lensing Shear-Selected Galaxy Clusters from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program: II. Cosmological Constraints from the Cluster Abundance

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Takada | First 5 Authors: I-Non Chiu, Kai-Feng Chen, Masamune Oguri, Markus M. Rau, Takashi Hamana | Summary: We present cosmological constraints using the abundance of weak-lensing shear-selected galaxy clusters in the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) Subaru Strategic Program. The clusters are selected on the mass maps constructed using the three-year (Y3) weak-lensing […]
