Three-Point Correlation Functions of SDSS Galaxies: Constraining Galaxy-Mass Bias

Cameron K. McBride, Andrew J. Connolly, Jeffrey P. Gardner +5

We constrain the linear and quadratic bias parameters from the configuration dependence of the three-point correlation function (3PCF) in both redshift and projected space, utilizi…

Final state interactions and the Sivers function

Leonard Gamberg, Marc Schlegel

The non-vanishing of naive T-odd parton distributions function can be explained by the existence of the gauge link which emerges from the factorized description of the deep inelast…

System size expansion for systems with an absorbing state

Francesca Di Patti, Sandro Azaele, Jayanth R. Banavar +1

The well known van Kampen system size expansion, while of rather general applicability, is shown to fail to reproduce some qualitative features of the time evolution for systems wi…

Variability in Quasar Broad Absorption Line Outflows I. Trends in the Short-Term versus Long-Term Data

Daniel M. Capellupo, Fred Hamann, Joseph C. Shields +2

Broad absorption lines (BALs) in quasar spectra identify high velocity outflows that likely exist in all quasars and could play a major role in feedback to galaxy evolution. The va…
