Properties of Weak Lensing Clusters Detected on Hyper Suprime-Cam 2.3 Square Degree Field

Satoshi Miyazaki, Masamune Oguri, Takashi Hamana +17

We present properties of moderately massive clusters of galaxies detected by the newly developed Hyper Suprime-Cam on the Subaru telescope using weak gravitational lensing. Eight p…

The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in the Data Release 10 and 11 galaxy samples

Lauren Anderson, Eric Aubourg, Stephen Bailey +62

We present a one per cent measurement of the cosmic distance scale from the detections of the baryon acoustic oscillations in the clustering of galaxies from the Baryon Oscillation…

The Stellar Halos of Massive Elliptical Galaxies II: Detailed Abundance Ratios at Large Radius

Jenny E Greene, Jeremy D Murphy, Genevieve J Graves +4

We study the radial dependence in stellar populations of 33 nearby early-type galaxies with central stellar velocity dispersions sigma* > 150 km/s. We measure stellar population pr…

The Effect of Environment on Discs and Bulges

C. N. Lackner, J. E. Gunn

We examine the changes in the properties of galactic bulges and discs with environment for a volume-limited sample of 12500 nearby galaxies from SDSS. We focus on galaxies with cla…

The Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey of SDSS-III

Kyle S. Dawson, David J. Schlegel, Christopher P. Ahn +162

The Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) is designed to measure the scale of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the clustering of matter over a larger volume than the…

Spectral Classification and Redshift Measurement for the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey

Adam S. Bolton, David J. Schlegel, Eric Aubourg +29

(abridged) We describe the automated spectral classification, redshift determination, and parameter measurement pipeline in use for the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOS…
