Speaker

Dr Ashley Ross (Ohio State U.)

Description

I will summarize the ways in which galaxy surveys test the properties of Dark Energy and the current constraints based on these tests. I will include a particular focus on the use of distance measurements provided by measuring the baryon acoustic oscillation feature in the distribution of galaxies. I will discuss some of the current tensions within the LCDM model and the future measurements that will probe them further.
