ALERT: This system is being upgraded on Tuesday December 12. It will not be available
for use for several hours that day while the upgrade is in progress. Deposits to DukeSpace
will be disabled on Monday December 11, so no new items are to be added to the repository
while the upgrade is in progress. Everything should be back to normal by the end of
day, December 12.

A Comprehensive Measurement of the Local Value of the Hubble Constant with 1 km/s/Mpc Uncertainty from the Hubble Space Telescope and the SH0ES Team
Riess, Adam G; Yuan, Wenlong; Macri, Lucas M; Scolnic, Dan; Brout, Dillon; Casertano, Stefano; Jones, David O; ... (17 authors)We report observations from HST of Cepheids in the hosts of 42 SNe Ia used to calibrate the Hubble constant (H0). These include all suitable SNe Ia in the last 40 years at z<0.01, measured with >1000 orbits, more than doubling ... -
Cosmology with the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope -- Multi-Probe Strategies
Eifler, Tim; Miyatake, Hironao; Krause, Elisabeth; Heinrich, Chen; Miranda, Vivian; Hirata, Christopher; Xu, Jiachuan; ... (29 authors)We simulate the scientific performance of the Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) High Latitude Survey (HLS) on dark energy and modified gravity. The 1.6 year HLS Reference survey is currently envisioned to image 2000 ... -
Optimization of the Observing Cadence for the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time: a pioneering process of community-focused experimental design
Bianco, Federica B; Ivezić, Željko; Jones, R Lynne; Graham, Melissa L; Marshall, Phil; Saha, Abhijit; Strauss, Michael A; ... (46 authors)Vera C. Rubin Observatory is a ground-based astronomical facility under construction, a joint project of the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy, designed to conduct a multi-purpose 10-year ... -
The Impact of Observing Strategy on Cosmological Constraints with LSST
Lochner, Michelle; Scolnic, Dan; Almoubayyed, Husni; Anguita, Timo; Awan, Humna; Gawiser, Eric; Gontcho, Satya Gontcho A; ... (27 authors)The generation-defining Vera C. Rubin Observatory will make state-of-the-art measurements of both the static and transient universe through its Legacy Survey for Space and Time (LSST). With such capabilities, it ... -
The Pantheon+ Analysis: SuperCal-Fragilistic Cross Calibration, Retrained SALT2 Light Curve Model, and Calibration Systematic Uncertainty
Brout, Dillon; Taylor, Georgie; Scolnic, Dan; Wood, Charlotte M; Rose, Benjamin M; Vincenzi, Maria; Dwomoh, Arianna; ... (13 authors)We present here a re-calibration of the photometric systems used in the Pantheon+ sample of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) including those used for the SH0ES distance-ladder measurement of H$_0$. We utilize the large and uniform sky ... -
The Pantheon+ Type Ia Supernova Sample: The Full Dataset and Light-Curve Release
Scolnic, Dan; Brout, Dillon; Carr, Anthony; Riess, Adam G; Davis, Tamara M; Dwomoh, Arianna; Jones, David O; ... (29 authors)Here we present 1701 light curves of spectroscopically confirmed Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) that will be used to infer cosmological parameters as part of the Pantheon+ SN analysis and the SH0ES (Supernovae and H0 for the ...
