SUMMARY:Observational Probes of Dark Energy - Yun Wang (University of Okla
 homa)
DTSTART:20120319T130000Z

DESCRIPTION:The cause for the observed acceleration in the expansion of th
 e universe is unknown\, and referred to as "dark energy" for convenience. 
 Dark energy could be an unknown energy component\, or a modification of Ei
 nstein's general relativity. This dictates the measurements that are optim
 al in unveiling the nature of\ndark energy: the cosmic expansion history\,
  and the growth history of cosmic large scale structure. I will examine Ty
 pe Ia supernovae and galaxy clustering as dark energy probes\, and discuss
  recent results and future prospects.
