An X-ray Galaxy Cluster Survey for Investigations of Dark Energy

Z. Haiman, S. Allen, N. Bahcall +34

The amount and nature of dark energy (DE) can be tightly constrained by measuring the spatial correlation features and evolution of a sample of ~ 100,000 galaxy clusters over the r…

Cosmological parameters from SDSS and WMAP

M. Tegmark, M. Strauss, M. Blanton +34

We measure cosmological parameters using the three-dimensional power spectrum P(k) from over 200,000 galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) in combination with WMAP and ot…

Detection of the Baryon Acoustic Peak in the Large-Scale Correlation Function of SDSS Luminous Red Galaxies

D. J. Eisenstein, I. Zehavi, D. W. Hogg +45

We present the large-scale correlation function measured from a spectroscopic sample of 46,748 luminous red galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The survey region covers 0.7…

The Cosmic Triangle: Revealing the State of the Universe

N. Bahcall, J. P. Ostriker, S. Perlmutter +1

The "cosmic triangle" is introduced as a way of representing the past, present, and future status of the universe. Our current location within the cosmic triangle is determined by…

The Galaxy-mass Correlation Function Measured from Weak Lensing in the SDSS

E. S. Sheldon, D. E. Johnston, J. A. Frieman +8

We present galaxy-galaxy lensing measurements over scales 0.025 to 10 Mpc/h in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Using a flux-limited sample of 127,001 lens galaxies with spectroscopic…

The Atacama Cosmology Telescope: DR6 Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Selected Galaxy Clusters Catalog

HSC Collaboration, M. Aguena, S. Aiola +98

We present the results of a search for galaxy clusters in the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) Data Release 6 (DR6) microwave sky maps covering 16293 square degrees in three frequ…

A MaxBCG Catalog of 13,823 Galaxy Clusters from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

B. P. Koester, T. A. McKay, J. Annis +23

We present a catalog of galaxy clusters selected using the maxBCG redsequence method from Sloan Digital Sky Survey photometric data. This catalog includes 13,823 clusters with velo…

SDSS galaxy bias from halo mass-bias relation and its cosmological implications

U. Seljak, A. Makarov, R. Mandelbaum +7

We combine the measurements of luminosity dependence of bias with the luminosity dependent weak lensing analysis of dark matter around galaxies to derive the galaxy bias and constr…

astro-ph.CO2012

Detection of intrinsic cluster alignments to 100 Mpc/h in the SDSS

A. Smargon, R. Mandelbaum, N. Bahcall +1

We measure the large-scale intrinsic alignments of galaxy clusters in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) using subsets of two cluster catalogues: 6625 clusters with 0.1<z<0.3 from…

Cosmological parameter analysis including SDSS Ly-alpha forest and galaxy bias: constraints on the primordial spectrum of fluctuations, neutrino mass, and dark energy

U. Seljak, A. Makarov, P. McDonald +18

We combine the constraints from the recent Ly-alpha forest and bias analysis of the SDSS with previous constraints from SDSS galaxy clustering, the latest supernovae, and WMAP . Co…
