San Francisco Amateur Astronomers host Dr. Phil Marshall, research scientist at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) and member of the Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology (KIRPAC) for a presentation on Cosmology with Strong Gravitational Lenses. Dr. Marshall will discuss the potential of LSST (Large Synoptic Survey Telescope) to provide a sample of several hundred lensed quasars with well-measured time delays that would enable competitive and complementary constraints on Dark Energy.
