SUMMARY:Photo-z's in the optical and the submillimeter
DESCRIPTION: Seminar | December 2 | 1:10-2 p.m. | 544 Campbell HallSpe
	aker/Performer: Fritz Stabenau\, Penn.Sponsor: Astronomy\, Department 
	ofRecent measurements have shown that the expansion of the universe is
	 accelerating. In order to extrapolate GR to fit the properties of the
	 universe on horizon scales\, a strange form of energy density (dark e
	nergy&39\;&39\;) is required. An alternative to dark energy is a modif
	ication of GR that accounts for accelerating expansion. In this talk\,
	 I will discuss my work on predicting large-scale structure formation 
	in an alternative gravity model by N-body simulation. A related proble
	m that I have worked on is efficiently obtaining accurate redshifts fo
	r galaxies using photometric redshifts with surface brightness priors.
	 Finally I will talk briefly about my ongoing work on analyzing data f
	rom the Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (BLAST) e
	xperiment.Event Contact: jcohn@berkeley.edu\n
