Abstract Background Due to the unique nature of spermatozoa, which are transcriptionally and translationally silent, the regulation of capacitation is based on the formation of posttranslational modifications of proteins (PTMs). However, the interactions between different types of PTMs during the capacitation remain unclear. Therefore, we aimed to unravel the PTM-based regulation of sperm capacitation by considering the relationship between tyrosine phosphorylation and reversible oxidative PTMs (oxPTMs), i.e., S-nitrosylation and S-glutathionylation. Since reversible oxPTMs may be closely related to peroxyredoxin (PRDX) activity, the second aim was to verify the role of PRDXs in the PTM-based regulation of capacitation. Methods Cryopreserved bull sperm were capacitated in vitro with or without PRDX inhibitor. Qualitative parameters of sperm and symptoms characteristic of capacitation were analyzed. Posttranslational protein modifications (S-nitrosylation, S-glutathionylation, tyrosine phosphorylation) were investigated at the cellular level (flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy) and at the proteomic level (fluorescent gel-based proteomic approach). Results Zona-pellucida binding proteins (ACRBP, SPAM1, ZAN, ZPBP1 and IZUMO4) were particularly rich in reversible oxPTMs. Moreover, numerous flagellar proteins were associated with all analyzed types of PTMs, which indicates that the direction of posttranslational modifications was integrated. Inhibition of PRDX activity during capacitation caused an increase in S-nitrosylation and S-glutathionylation and a decrease in tyrosine phosphorylation. Inhibition of PRDXs caused GAPDHS to undergo S-glutathionylation and the GSTO2 and SOD2 enzymes to undergo denitrosylation. Moreover, PRDX inhibition caused the AKAP proteins to be dephosphorylated. Conclusions Our research provides evidence that crosstalk occurs between tyrosine phosphorylation and reversible oxPTMs during bull sperm capacitation. This study demonstrates that capacitation triggers S-nitrosylation and S-glutathionylation (and reverse reactions) of zona-pellucida binding proteins, which may be a new important mechanism that determines the interaction between sperms and oocytes. Moreover, TCA-related and flagellar proteins, which are particularly rich in PTMs, may play a key role in sperm capacitation. We propose that the deglutathionylation of ODFs and IZUMO4 proteins is a new hallmark of bull sperm capacitation. The obtained results indicate a relationship between PRDX activity and protein phosphorylation, S-glutathionylation and S-nitrosylation. The activity of PRDXs may be crucial for maintaining redox balance and for providing proper PKA-mediated protein phosphorylation during capacitation. Video Abstract

The next generation of wide-field spectroscopic redshift surveys will map the large-scale galaxy distribution in the redshift range 0.7< z<2 to measure baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO). The primary optical signature used in this redshift range comes from the [OII] emission line doublet, which provides a unique redshift identification that can minimize confusion with other single emission lines. To derive the required spectrograph resolution for these redshift surveys, we simulate observations of the [OII] (3727,3729) doublet for various instrument resolutions, and line velocities. We foresee two strategies about the choice of the resolution for future spectrographs for BAO surveys. For bright [OII] emitter surveys ([OII] flux ~30.10^{-17} erg /cm2/s like SDSS-IV/eBOSS), a resolution of R~3300 allows the separation of 90 percent of the doublets. The impact of the sky lines on the completeness in redshift is less than 6 percent. For faint [OII] emitter surveys ([OII] flux ~10.10^{-17} erg /cm2/s like DESi), the detection improves continuously with resolution, so we recommend the highest possible resolution, the limit being given by the number of pixels (4k by 4k) on the detector and the number of spectroscopic channels (2 or 3)., Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure

Astrophysics - Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics - Abstract
We present Fisher matrix projections for future cosmological parameter measurements, including neutrino masses, dark energy, curvature, modified gravity, the inflationary perturbation spectrum, non-Gaussianity, and dark radiation. We focus on DESI and generally redshift surveys (BOSS, HETDEX, eBOSS, Euclid, and WFIRST), but also include CMB (Planck) and weak gravitational lensing (DES and LSST) constraints. The goal is to present a consistent set of projections, for concrete experiments, which are otherwise scattered throughout many papers and proposals. We include neutrino mass as a free parameter in most projections, as it will inevitably be relevant -- DESI and other experiments can measure the sum of neutrino masses to ~0.02 eV or better, while the minimum possible sum is ~0.06 eV. We note that the BAO-only use of galaxy clustering is substantially degraded as a dark energy probe in the presence of neutrino mass uncertainty -- using broadband galaxy power is critical, especially pushing it to as small a scale as possible, and big gains are achieved by combining lensing survey constraints with redshift survey constraints. We do not try to be especially innovative, e.g., in careful treatments of potential systematic errors -- these projections are intended as a straightforward baseline for comparison to more detailed analyses., Comment: expanded details of calculations - accepted version

Astrophysics - Cosmology and Extragalactic Astrophysics - Abstract
The baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) feature in the two-point correlation function of galaxies supplies a standard ruler to probe the expansion history of the Universe. We study here several galaxy selection schemes, aiming at building an emission-line galaxy (ELG) sample in the redshift range $0.6
1.5$), but we are limited by current data sets depth to derive precise values of the galaxy bias. A survey using such tracers of the mass field will guarantee a high significance detection of the BAO., Comment: 17 pages, 15 figures, submitted to MNRAS - Published

Astrophysics - Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics - Abstract
We present DEEP2 galaxy clustering measurements at z~1 as a function of stellar mass, star formation rate (SFR), and specific SFR (sSFR). We find a strong positive correlation between stellar mass and clustering amplitude on 1-10 h^-1 Mpc scales for blue, star-forming galaxies with 9.5 < log(M_*/M_sun) < 11 and no dependence for red, quiescent galaxies with 10.5 < log(M_*/M_sun) < 11.5. Using recently re-calibrated DEEP2 SFRs from restframe B-band magnitude and optical colors, we find that within the blue galaxy population at z~1, the clustering amplitude increases strongly with increasing SFR and decreasing sSFR. For red galaxies there is no significant correlation between clustering amplitude and either SFR or sSFR. Blue galaxies with high SFR or low sSFR are as clustered on large scales as red galaxies. We find that the clustering trend observed with SFR can be explained mostly, but not entirely, by the correlation between stellar mass and clustering amplitude for blue galaxies. We also show that galaxies above the star-forming "main sequence" are less clustered than galaxies below the main sequence, at a given stellar mass. These results are not consistent with the high sSFR population being dominated by major mergers. We also measure the clustering amplitude of our samples on small scales (< 0.3 h^-1 Mpc) and find an enhanced clustering signal relative to the best-fit large-scale power law for red galaxies with high stellar mass, blue galaxies with high SFR, and both red and blue galaxies with high sSFR. The increased small-scale clustering for galaxies with high sSFRs is likely linked to triggered star formation in interacting galaxies. These measurements provide strong constraints on galaxy evolution and halo occupation distribution models at z~1., Comment: 27 pages, 21 figures, 6 tables, V1-Submitted to ApJ, V2-Accepted to ApJ

Astrophysics - Instrumentation and Methods for Astrophysics - Abstract
BigBOSS is a Stage IV ground-based dark energy experiment to study baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) and the growth of structure with a wide-area galaxy and quasar redshift survey over 14,000 square degrees. It has been conditionally accepted by NOAO in response to a call for major new instrumentation and a high-impact science program for the 4-m Mayall telescope at Kitt Peak. The BigBOSS instrument is a robotically-actuated, fiber-fed spectrograph capable of taking 5000 simultaneous spectra over a wavelength range from 340 nm to 1060 nm, with a resolution R = 3000-4800. Using data from imaging surveys that are already underway, spectroscopic targets are selected that trace the underlying dark matter distribution. In particular, targets include luminous red galaxies (LRGs) up to z = 1.0, extending the BOSS LRG survey in both redshift and survey area. To probe the universe out to even higher redshift, BigBOSS will target bright [OII] emission line galaxies (ELGs) up to z = 1.7. In total, 20 million galaxy redshifts are obtained to measure the BAO feature, trace the matter power spectrum at smaller scales, and detect redshift space distortions. BigBOSS will provide additional constraints on early dark energy and on the curvature of the universe by measuring the Ly-alpha forest in the spectra of over 600,000 2.2 < z < 3.5 quasars. BigBOSS galaxy BAO measurements combined with an analysis of the broadband power, including the Ly-alpha forest in BigBOSS quasar spectra, achieves a FOM of 395 with Planck plus Stage III priors. This FOM is based on conservative assumptions for the analysis of broad band power (kmax = 0.15), and could grow to over 600 if current work allows us to push the analysis to higher wave numbers (kmax = 0.3). BigBOSS will also place constraints on theories of modified gravity and inflation, and will measure the sum of neutrino masses to 0.024 eV accuracy., Comment: This report is based on the BigBOSS proposal submission to NOAO in October 2010, and reflects the project status at that time with minor updates

We study the effect of filter zero-point uncertainties on future supernova dark energy missions. Fitting for calibration parameters using simultaneous analysis of all Type Ia supernova standard candles achieves a significant improvement over more traditional fit methods. This conclusion is robust under diverse experimental configurations (number of observed supernovae, maximum survey redshift, inclusion of additional systematics). This approach to supernova fitting considerably eases otherwise stringent mission calibration requirements. As an example we simulate a space-based mission based on the proposed JDEM satellite; however the method and conclusions are general and valid for any future supernova dark energy mission, ground or space-based., Comment: 30 pages,8 figures, 5 table, one reference added, submitted to Astroparticle Physics

Astrophysics - Cosmology and Extragalactic Astrophysics - Abstract
The answers to fundamental science questions in astrophysics, ranging from the history of the expansion of the universe to the sizes of nearby stars, hinge on our ability to make precise measurements of diverse astronomical objects. As our knowledge of the underlying physics of objects improves along with advances in detectors and instrumentation, the limits on our capability to extract science from measurements is set, not by our lack of understanding of the nature of these objects, but rather by the most mundane of all issues: the precision with which we can calibrate observations in physical units. We stress the need for a program to improve upon and expand the current networks of spectrophotometrically calibrated stars to provide precise calibration with an accuracy of equal to and better than 1% in the ultraviolet, visible and near-infrared portions of the spectrum, with excellent sky coverage and large dynamic range., Comment: 8 pages, 6 figures Science white paper for the Astro2010 Decadal Survey

Abstract Background Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) have attracted much attention in recent years as natural alternatives to petroleum-based synthetic polymers that can be broadly used in many applications. Pseudomonas putida KT2440 is a metabolically versatile microorganism that is able to synthesize medium-chain-length PHAs (mcl-PHAs). The phenomena that drive mcl-PHAs synthesis and accumulation seems to be complex and are still poorly understood. Therefore, here we determine new insights into cellular responses of Pseudomonas putida KT2440 during biopolymers production using two-dimensional difference gel-electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) followed by MALDI TOF/TOF mass spectrometry. Results The maximum mcl-PHAs content in Pseudomonas putida KT2440 cells was 24% of cell dry weight (CDW) and was triggered by nitrogen depletion. Proteomic analysis allowed the detection of 150 and 131 protein spots differentially regulated at 24 h and 48 h relative to the cell growth stage (8 h), respectively. From those, we successfully identified 84 proteins that had altered expression at 24 h and 74 proteins at 48 h of the mcl-PHAs synthesis process. The protein–protein interactions network indicated that the majority of identified proteins were functionally linkage. The abundance of proteins involved in carbon metabolism were significantly decreased at 24 h and 48 h of the cultivations. Moreover, proteins associated with ATP synthesis were up-regulated suggesting that the enhanced energy metabolism was necessary for the mcl-PHAs accumulation. Furthermore, the induction of proteins involved in nitrogen metabolism, ribosome synthesis and transport was observed. Our results indicate that mcl-PHAs accumulated in the bacterial cells changed the protein abundance involved in stress response and cellular homeostasis. Conclusions The presented data allow us to investigate time-course proteome rearrangement in response to nitrogen limitation and biopolyesters accumulation. Our results have pointed out novel proteins that might take part in cellular responses of mcl-PHA-accumulated bacteria. The study provides an additional knowledge that could be helpful to improve the efficiency of the bioprocess and make it more economically feasible.

General Materials Science - Abstract
Electric double layer (EDL) gating can induce large capacitance densities (∼1−10 μF/cm^2) in two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors; however, several properties of the electrolyte limit performance. One property is the electrochemical activity which limits the gate voltage (VG) that can be applied and therefore the maximum extent to which carriers can be modulated. A second property is electrolyte thickness, which sets the response speed of the EDL gate, and therefore the timescale over which the channel can be doped. Typical thicknesses are on the order of microns, but thinner electrolytes (nanometers) are needed for very-large-scale-integration (VLSI) both in terms of physical thickness and the speed that accompanies scaling. In this study, finite element modeling of an EDL-gated field-effect transistor (FET) is used to self-consistently couple ion transport in the electrolyte to carrier transport in the semiconductor, in which density of states, and therefore, quantum capacitance is included. The model reveals that 50 to 65% of the applied potential drops across the semiconductor, leaving 35 to 50% to drop across the two EDLs. Accounting for the potential drop in the channel suggests that higher carrier densities can be achieved at larger applied VG without concern for inducing electrochemical reactions. This insight is tested experimentally via Hall measurements of graphene FETs for which VG is extended from ±3 to ±6 V. Doubling the gate voltage increases the sheet carrier density by an additional 2.3×10^13 cm^−2 for electrons and 1.4×10^13 cm^−2 for holes without inducing electrochemistry. To address the need for thickness scaling, the thickness of the solid polymer electrolyte, polyethylene oxide (PEO):CsClO_4, is decreased from 1 μm to 10 nm and used to EDL- gate graphene FETs. Sheet carrier density measurements on graphene Hall bars prove that the carrier densities remain constant throughout the measured thickness range (10 nm−1 μm). The results indicate promise for overcoming the physical and electrical limitations to VLSI while taking advantage of the ultrahigh carrier densities induced by EDL gating.

Astrophysics - Abstract
The Supernova / Acceleration Probe (SNAP) is a proposed space-based experiment designed to study the dark energy and alternative explanations of the acceleration of the Universe's expansion by performing a series of complementary systematics-controlled measurements. We describe a self-consistent reference mission design for building a Type Ia supernova Hubble diagram and for performing a wide-area weak gravitational lensing study. A 2-m wide-field telescope feeds a focal plane consisting of a 0.7 square-degree imager tiled with equal areas of optical CCDs and near infrared sensors, and a high-efficiency low-resolution integral field spectrograph. The SNAP mission will obtain high-signal-to-noise calibrated light-curves and spectra for several thousand supernovae at redshifts between z=0.1 and 1.7. A wide-field survey covering one thousand square degrees resolves ~100 galaxies per square arcminute. If we assume we live in a cosmological-constant-dominated Universe, the matter density, dark energy density, and flatness of space can all be measured with SNAP supernova and weak-lensing measurements to a systematics-limited accuracy of 1%. For a flat universe, the density-to-pressure ratio of dark energy can be similarly measured to 5% for the present value w0 and ~0.1 for the time variation w'. The large survey area, depth, spatial resolution, time-sampling, and nine-band optical to NIR photometry will support additional independent and/or complementary dark-energy measurement approaches as well as a broad range of auxiliary science programs.

Astrophysics - Abstract
Mapping the recent expansion history of the universe offers the best hope for uncovering the characteristics of the dark energy believed to be responsible for the acceleration of the expansion. In determining cosmological and dark-energy parameters to the percent level, systematic uncertainties impose a floor on the accuracy more severe than the statistical measurement precision. We delineate the categorization, simulation, and understanding required to bound systematics for the specific case of the Type Ia supernova method. Using simulated data of forthcoming ground-based surveys and the proposed space-based SNAP mission we present Monte Carlo results for the residual uncertainties on the cosmological parameter determination. The tight systematics control with optical and near-infrared observations and the extended redshift reach allow a space survey to bound the systematics below 0.02 magnitudes at z=1.7. For a typical SNAP-like supernova survey, this keeps total errors within 15% of the statistical values and provides estimation of Omega_m to 0.03, w_0 to 0.07, and w' to 0.3; these can be further improved by incorporating complementary data., Comment: 16 pages, 9 figures, A4 format. v2: A few typos corrected. Some explanations added. Accepted for publication in MNRAS

General Medicine - Abstract
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is typically perceived as a social communication and behavioral disability. However, it is a neurodevelopmental or brain-based condition with widespread consequences on cognitive and social-emotional development caused by genetic events that begin before birth. Cognitive functions of a higher level or those requiring integrative processing are disproportionately hampered in ASD. Normal children can learn any existing language based on their environment; however autistic youngsters find it difficult. The exploration of autistic children’s cognitive and language features has been greatly influenced by theoretical models and research approaches.

Sperm peroxiredoxins (PRDXs) are moonlighting proteins which, in addition to their antioxidant activity, also act as redox signal transducers through PRDX-induced oxidative post-translational modifications of proteins (oxPTMs). Despite extensive knowledge on the antioxidant activity of PRDXs, the mechanisms related to PRDX-mediated oxPTMs are poorly understood. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of bull sperm 2-Cys PRDX inhibition by Conoidin A on changes in oxPTM levels under control and oxidative stress conditions. The results showed that a group of sperm mitochondrial (LDHAL6B, CS, ACO2, SDHA, ACAPM) and actin cytoskeleton proteins (CAPZB, ALDOA, CCIN) is oxidized due to the action of 2-Cys PRDXs under control conditions. In turn, under oxidative stress conditions, 2-Cys PRDX activity seems to be focused on antioxidant function protecting glycolytic, TCA pathway, and respiratory chain enzymes; chaperones; and sperm axonemal tubulins from oxidative damage. Interestingly, the inhibition of PRDX resulted in oxidation of a group of rate-limiting glycolytic proteins, which is known to trigger the switching of glucose metabolism from glycolysis to pentose phosphate pathway (PPP). The obtained results are expected to broaden the knowledge of the potential role of bull sperm 2-Cys in both redox signal transmission and antioxidant activity.

Renewable energy sources and their part in the global energy mix are beneficial to energy diversification and environment protection. However, raw biomass is characterized by low heating value, hydrophilic properties, various mechanical durability, and the logistic challenges related to transportation and storage. One frequently used process of combined biomass valorization is torrefaction and pelletization, which increase the heating value, homogeneity, and hydrophobicity of the fuel. However, industrial clients need fuel characterized by favorable grindability, whereas, the individual clients (householders) need fuel with high mechanical durability. Due to the different expectations of final customers regarding biomass fuel properties, it is necessary to investigate the influence of the torrefaction on the mechanical durability of the pellets. In this paper, five various types of pellets and their torreficates (obtained at a temperature of 200 and 300 °C) were examined. Then the mechanical durability index DU and the grindability of the untreated and torrefied pellets were determined. The results indicated that the mechanical durability of untorrefied pellets is significantly greater than torrefied pellets. Interestingly, no significant differences in mechanical durability between torrefied pellets at 200 and 300 °C were observed, For sunflower husk pellets, the DU index amounted to 95.28 ± 0.72 (untorrefied), 47.22% ± 0.28% (torrefied at 200 °C), and 46.34% ± 0.72% (torrefied at 300 °C). Considering the grindability, as the treatment temperature increased the energy demand for grindability decreased. For example, the grindability of pine tree pellets was 15.96 ± 3.07 Wh·kg−1 (untreated), 1.86 ± 0.31 Wh·kg−1 (torrefied at 200 °C), and 0.99 ± 0.17 Wh·kg−1 (torrefied at 300 °C). The highest difference between raw and torrefied pellets was determined for beetroot pomace pellet: 36.31 ± 2.06 Wh·kg−1 (untreated), 3.85 ± 0.47 Wh·kg−1 (torrefied at 200 °C), and 1.03 ± 0.12 Wh·kg−1 (torrefied at 300 °C).

The ability to fertilise an egg is acquired by the mammalian sperm during the complex biochemical process called capacitation. Capacitation is accompanied by the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), but the mechanism of redox regulation during capacitation has not been elucidated. This study aimed to verify whether capacitation coincides with reversible oxidative post-translational modifications of proteins (oxPTMs). Flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy and Western blot analyses were used to verify the sperm capacitation process. A fluorescent gel-based redox proteomic approach allowed us to observe changes in the level of reversible oxPTMs manifested by the reduction or oxidation of susceptible cysteines in sperm proteins. Sperm capacitation was accompanied with redox modifications of 48 protein spots corresponding to 22 proteins involved in the production of ROS (SOD, DLD), playing a role in downstream redox signal transfer (GAPDHS and GST) related to the cAMP/PKA pathway (ROPN1L, SPA17), acrosome exocytosis (ACRB, sperm acrosome associated protein 9, IZUMO4), actin polymerisation (CAPZB) and hyperactivation (TUBB4B, TUB1A). The results demonstrated that sperm capacitation is accompanied by altered levels of oxPTMs of a group of redox responsive proteins, filling gaps in our knowledge concerning sperm capacitation.

Instrumentation -- other ,NIR detectors HgCdTe supernova dark energy SNAP - Abstract
Precision near infrared (NIR) measurements are essential for the next generation of ground and space based instruments. The SuperNova Acceleration Probe (SNAP) will measure thousands of type Ia supernovae up to a redshift of 1.7. The highest redshift supernovae provide the most leverage for determining cosmological parameters, in particular the dark energy equation of state and its possible time evolution. Accurate NIR observations are needed to utilize the full potential of the highest redshift supernovae. Technological improvements in NIR detector fabrication have lead to high quantum efficiency, low noise detectors using a HgCdTe diode with a band-gap that is tuned to cutoff at 1:7 1m. The effects of detector quantum efficiency, read noise, and dark current on lightcurve signal to noise, lightcurve parameter errors, and distance modulus ?ts are simulated in the SNAP sim framework. Results show that improving quantum efficiency leads to the largest gains in photometric accuracy for type Ia supernovae. High quantum efficiency in the NIR reduces statistical errors and helps control systematic uncertainties at the levels necessary to achieve the primary SNAP science goals.

Instrumentation -- other ,Near Infrared HgCdTe Detector Technology Photometry Dark Energy Cosmology Supernovae - Abstract
Large format (1k x 1k and 2k x 2k) near infrared detectors manufactured by Rockwell Scientific Center and Raytheon Vision Systems are characterized as part of the near infrared R&D effort for SNAP (the Super-Nova/Acceleration Probe). These are hybridized HgCdTe focal plane arrays with a sharp high wavelength cut-off at 1.7 um. This cut-off provides a sufficiently deep reach in redshift while it allows at the same time low dark current operation of the passively cooled detectors at 140 K. Here the baseline SNAP near infrared system is briefly described and the science driven requirements for the near infrared detectors are summarized. A few results obtained during the testing of engineering grade near infrared devices procured for the SNAP project are highlighted. In particular some recent measurements that target correlated noise between adjacent detector pixels due to capacitive coupling and the response uniformity within individual detector pixels are discussed.

The Supernova / Acceleration Probe (SNAP) is a proposed space-basedexperiment designed to study the dark energy and alternative explanations ofthe acceleration of the Universe's expansion by performing a series ofcomplementary systematics-controlled measurements. We describe aself-consistent reference mission design for building a Type Ia supernovaHubble diagram and for performing a wide-area weak gravitational lensing study.A 2-m wide-field telescope feeds a focal plane consisting of a 0.7square-degree imager tiled with equal areas of optical CCDs and near infraredsensors, and a high-efficiency low-resolution integral field spectrograph. TheSNAP mission will obtain high-signal-to-noise calibrated light-curves andspectra for several thousand supernovae at redshifts between z=0.1 and 1.7. Awide-field survey covering one thousand square degrees resolves ~100 galaxiesper square arcminute. If we assume we live in a cosmological-constant-dominatedUniverse, the matter density, dark energy density, and flatness of space canall be measured with SNAP supernova and weak-lensing measurements to asystematics-limited accuracy of 1%. For a flat universe, thedensity-to-pressure ratio of dark energy can be similarly measured to 5% forthe present value w0 and ~0.1 for the time variation w'. The large survey area,depth, spatial resolution, time-sampling, and nine-band optical to NIRphotometry will support additional independent and/or complementary dark-energymeasurement approaches as well as a broad range of auxiliary science programs.(Abridged)

gravitational lensing SNAP - Abstract
A wide field space-based imaging telescope is necessary to fully exploit the technique of observing dark matter via weak gravitational lensing. This first paper in a three part series outlines the survey strategies and relevant instrumental parameters for such a mission. As a concrete example of hardware design, we consider the proposed Supernova/Acceleration Probe (SNAP). Using SNAP engineering models, we quantify the major contributions to this telescope's Point Spread Function (PSF). These PSF contributions are relevant to any similar wide field space telescope. We further show that the PSF of SNAP or a similar telescope will be smaller than current ground-based PSFs, and more isotropic and stable over time than the PSF of the Hubble Space Telescope. We outline survey strategies for two different regimes - a "wide" 300 square degree survey and a "deep" 15 square degree survey that will accomplish various weak lensing goals including statistical studies and dark matter mapping.
