RESEARCH89012345 2009-present23 Dynamical Mass Measurements: Computation of velocity dispersion of satellite galaxies around hosts in gravitationally bound systems. Estimation of stacked mass and surface density profiles. Application to SDSS spectroscopic galaxies. Comparison to surface density profile from lensing measures to constrain modified gravity theories.
2008-present Gravitational Lensing: Magnification of background galaxies by foreground clusters and effects on cluster detection and mass estimates. Applications to BLAST sources and ACT clusters.
2007-present N-body Simulations and Modified Gravity: Development of a Particle-Mesh code to perform N-body simulations of modified gravity theories. Effects on nonlinear growth and abundance of dark matter halos.
2005-present Neutrino-scalar interactions: Effects of neutrino/scalar interactions on large scale structure observables.
2004-present Photometric Redshifts: Development of techniques to estimate photometric redshifts, their errors and their distribution. Applications to the SDSS DR5, DR6 and to mock catalogs of the DES.
2003-present Galaxy Clusters: Forecasts of dark energy constraints for future cluster surveys, employing self-calibration techniques.
