• Multi-messenger Observations of a Binary Neutron Star Merger

  2017 · 1398 citations

  On 2017 August 17 a binary neutron star coalescence candidate (later designated GW170817) with merger time 12:41:04 UTC was observed through gravitational waves by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. The Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor independently detected a gamma-ray burst (GRB 170817A) with a time delay of ~1.7 s with respect to the merger time. From the gravitational-wave signal, the source was initially localized to a sky region of 31 deg² at a luminosity distance of 40₋₈⁺⁸ Mpc a…

• Dark Energy Survey Year 3 results: Cosmology from cosmic shear and robustness to data calibration

  Physical review. D/Physical review. D. · 2022 · 416 citations

  This work, together with its companion paper, Secco, Samuroff et al. [Phys. Rev. D 105, 023515 (2022)], present the Dark Energy Survey Year 3 cosmic-shear measurements and cosmological constraints based on an analysis of over 100 million source galaxies. With the data spanning $4143\text{ }\text{ }{\mathrm{deg}}^{2}$ on the sky, divided into four redshift bins, we produce a measurement with a signal-to-noise of 40. We conduct a blind analysis in the context of the Lambda-Cold Dark Matter ($\math…

• Dark Energy Survey Year 3 results: Cosmology from cosmic shear and robustness to modeling uncertainty

  Physical review. D/Physical review. D. · 2022 · 370 citations

  This work and its companion paper, Amon et al. [Phys. Rev. D 105, 023514 (2022)], present cosmic shear measurements and cosmological constraints from over 100 million source galaxies in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year 3 data. We constrain the lensing amplitude parameter ${S}_{8}\ensuremath{\equiv}{\ensuremath{\sigma}}_{8}\sqrt{{\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Omega}}}_{\mathrm{m}}/0.3}$ at the 3% level in $\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Lambda}}\mathrm{CDM}$: ${S}_{8}=0.75{9}_{\ensuremath{-}0.023}^{+0.025}$ (68% C…

• Constraints on Dark Matter Properties from Observations of Milky Way Satellite Galaxies

  Physical Review Letters · 2021 · 313 citations

  We perform a comprehensive study of Milky Way (MW) satellite galaxies to constrain the fundamental properties of dark matter (DM). This analysis fully incorporates inhomogeneities in the spatial distribution and detectability of MW satellites and marginalizes over uncertainties in the mapping between galaxies and DM halos, the properties of the MW system, and the disruption of subhalos by the MW disk. Our results are consistent with the cold, collisionless DM paradigm and yield the strongest cos…
