Description
In Mistral meeting room on 2nd floor
In the era of upcoming redshift surveys, the sky will be more revealing than ever! In this talk, I will summarise standard and non standard observational methods and scenarios.
The Alcock-Paczynski test is a very simple yet powerful tool to constraint cosmology when applied to voids. In this talk, I will present preliminary work accomplished in order to master void related systematics in the Alcock-Paczynski test.
In this session, I will briefly mention my plans for this project, and try to set up a schedule for the analysis.
We present the current performance of the machine-learning code, SQUEzE, to identify quasars and estimate their redshift. We compare its performance with that of QuasarNet and conclude that, while it may not be as accurate as QuasarNet, it is lighter and more flexible
