DESI
Baltay
Science goal: Measure the effects of dark energy on the expansion of the Universe
WL involvement: The Yale Fiberview Camera—designed, built, and installed by the Baltay group at Wright Lab—is an integral part of the efficiency and precision of DESI.
La Silla-QUEST/La Silla Schmidt Southern Survey
Baltay
Science goal: Study the expansion of the Universe and dark energy.
WL involvement: The Baltay group’s work has improved the precision of the Hubble constant measurement using supernovae and variable stars as calibration standards, such that it is now better than the unexplained discrepancies.
