Distance-redshift and growth-redshift relations as two windows on acceleration and gravitation: Dark energy or new gravity?

Abstract

Small distortions in the observed shapes of distant galaxies, a cosmic shear due to gravitational lensing, can be used to simultaneously determine the distance-redshift relation, $r(z)$, and the density contrast growth factor, $g(z)$. Both of these functions are sensitive probes of the acceleration. Their simultaneous determination allows for a consistency test and provides sensitivity to physics beyond the standard dark energy paradigm.

  • By measuring growth of large-scale structure and luminosity and angular distances as functions of redshift via weak lensing, large-scale structure, supernovae, and cluster counting, LSST data can reveal whether recent cosmic acceleration is due to dark energy or modified gravity.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
