Abstract
Measurements of the large-scale distribution of matter in the Universe are one of our primary tools for testing the predictions of general relativity on cosmological scales. I will describe how we pursue this using data from galaxy imaging surveys, focusing on Dark Energy Survey galaxy clustering and weak lensing analyses as an example. I will highlight results from the DES Year 3 analysis that are relevant for testing gravity, some practical aspects of extending survey analyses beyond ΛCDM, as well as ongoing work to address these challenges to prepare for future surveys.
