Measuring Dark Energy Clustering with CMB-Galaxy Correlations
Wayne Hu, Ryan Scranton
The integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) as measured through its correlation with galaxies provides a unique opportunity to study the dynami…
LSST Science Book, Version 2.0
LSST Science Collaboration, Paul A. Abell, Julius Allison +245
A survey that can cover the sky in optical bands over wide fields to faint magnitudes with a fast cadence will enable many of the exciting science opportunities of the next decade.…
Cross-correlation Weak Lensing of SDSS Galaxy Clusters I: Measurements
Erin S. Sheldon, David E. Johnston, Ryan Scranton +12
This is the first in a series of papers on the weak lensing effect caused by clusters of galaxies in Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The photometrically selected cluster sample, known as…
Analysis of Systematic Effects and Statistical Uncertainties in Angular Clustering of Galaxies from Early SDSS Data
SDSS Collaboration, Ryan Scranton, David Johnston +21
The angular distribution of galaxies encodes a wealth of information about large scale structure. Ultimately, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) will record the angular positions…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Quasar Lens Search. III. Constraints on Dark Energy from the Third Data Release Quasar Lens Catalog
Masamune Oguri, Naohisa Inada, Michael A. Strauss +31
We present cosmological results from the statistics of lensed quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Quasar Lens Search. By taking proper account of the selection function,…
Higher Order Moments of the Angular Distribution of Galaxies from Early SDSS Data
István Szapudi, Joshua A. Frieman, Roman Scoccimarro +13
We present initial results for counts in cells statistics of the angular distribution of galaxies in early data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We analyze a rectangular s…
