The clustering of massive galaxies at z~0.5 from the first semester of BOSS data

Martin White, M. Blanton, A. Bolton +25

We calculate the real- and redshift-space clustering of massive galaxies at z~0.5 using the first semester of data by the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). We study t…

Tracing The Sound Horizon Scale With Photometric Redshift Surveys

E. Sanchez, A. Carnero, J. Garcia-Bellido +6

We propose a new method for cosmological parameters extraction using the baryon acoustic oscillation scale as a standard ruler in deep galaxy surveys with photometric determination…

Evolution of Galaxy Luminosity Function Using Photometric Redshifts

B. H. F. Ramos, P. S. Pellegrini, C. Benoist +6

We examine the impact of using photometric redshifts for studying the evolution of both the global galaxy luminosity function (LF) and that for different galaxy types. To this end…

Cosmological forecasts from photometric measurements of the angular correlation function

F. Sobreira, F. de Simoni, R. Rosenfeld +3

We study forecasts for the accuracy of the determination of cosmological parameters from future large scale photometric surveys obtained using the full shape of the 2-point galaxy…

The Dark Energy Survey: Prospects for Resolved Stellar Populations

B. M. Rossetto, B. X. Santiago, L. Girardi +17

Wide angle and deep surveys, regardless of their primary purpose, always sample a large number of stars in the Galaxy and in its satellite system. We here make a forecast of the ex…
