CAREER: Exploring the dark sector with state-of-the-art galaxy surveys — NSF Award to Northeastern University (MA, $605,057)

The Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will map cosmic structure across the sky to incredible depth. Such maps have immense statistical power to shed light on dark energy and dark matter, perhaps the most compelling mysteries in modern physics. To reach the full potential of LSST and other

AbstractThe Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) will map cosmic structure across the sky to incredible depth. Such maps have immense statistical power to shed light on dark energy and dark matter, perhaps the most compelling mysteries in modern physics. To reach the full potential of LSST and other upcoming projects, a better understanding of astrophysical processes and observational uncertainties is required. This program focuses on two of the most important astrophysical e
