Growing a `Cosmic Beast': Observations and Simulations of MACS J0717.5+3745
M. Jauzac, D. Eckert, M. Schaller +18
We present a gravitational lensing and X-ray analysis of a massive galaxy cluster and its surroundings. The core of MACS\,J0717.5+3745 (\,$10^{15}…
Studying large-scale structure with the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey
J. A. Peacock, M. Colless, I. Baldry +25
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey is the first to observe more than 100,000 redshifts. This allows precise measurements of many of the key statistics of galaxy clustering, in particul…
The BigBOSS Experiment
D. Schlegel, F. Abdalla, T. Abraham +138
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…
Modelling the number density of Halpha emitters for future spectroscopic near-IR space missions
L. Pozzetti, C. M. Hirata, J. E. Geach +6
The future space missions Euclid and WFIRST-AFTA will use the Halpha emission line to measure the redshifts of tens of millions of galaxies. The Halpha luminosity function at z>0.7…
Euclid Definition Study Report
R. Laureijs, J. Amiaux, S. Arduini +216
Euclid is a space-based survey mission from the European Space Agency designed to understand the origin of the Universe's accelerating expansion. It will use cosmological probes to…
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: The b_J-band galaxy luminosity function and survey selection function
P. Norberg, S. Cole, C. Baugh +25
We use more than 110500 galaxies from the 2dF galaxy redshift survey (2dFGRS) to estimate the b_J-band galaxy luminosity function at redshift z=0, taking account of evolution, the…
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: the luminosity function of cluster galaxies
Roberto De Propris, M. Colless, S. Driver +27
We have determined the composite luminosity function (LF) for galaxies in 60 clusters from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey. The LF spans the range , and is…
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: correlation functions, peculiar velocities and the matter density of the Universe
E. Hawkins, S. Maddox, S. Cole +27
We present a detailed analysis of the two-point correlation function, from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS). We estimate the redshift-space correlation function, xi(s), from…
Science with ASKAP - the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder
S. Johnston, R. Taylor, M. Bailes +47
[ABRIDGED VERSION] The future of cm and m-wave astronomy lies with the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), a telescope under development by a consortium of 17 countries. The SKA will be…
