The Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
K. Abazajian
This paper describes the Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), marking the completion of the original goals of the SDSS and the end of the phase known as SDS…
Galaxy density profiles and shapes -- II. selection biases in strong lensing surveys
Rachel Mandelbaum, Glenn van de Ven, Charles R. Keeton
[Abridged] Many current and future astronomical surveys will rely on samples of strong gravitational lens systems to draw conclusions about galaxy mass distributions. We use a new…
Galaxy density profiles and shapes -- I. simulation pipeline for lensing by realistic galaxy models
Glenn van de Ven, Rachel Mandelbaum, Charles R. Keeton
Studies of strong gravitational lensing in current and upcoming wide and deep photometric surveys, and of stellar kinematics from (integral-field) spectroscopy at increasing redshi…
Halo masses for optically-selected and for radio-loud AGN from clustering and galaxy-galaxy lensing
Rachel Mandelbaum, Cheng Li, Guinevere Kauffmann +1
We compute two-point correlation functions and measure the shear signal due to galaxy-galaxy lensing for 80,000 optically identified and 5,700 radio-loud AGN from Data Release 4 (D…
Halo mass - concentration relation from weak lensing
Rachel Mandelbaum, Uros Seljak, Christopher M. Hirata
We perform a statistical weak lensing analysis of dark matter profiles around tracers of halo mass from galactic- to cluster-size halos. In this analysis we use 170,640 isolated ~L…
LSST: from Science Drivers to Reference Design and Anticipated Data Products
Željko Ivezić, Steven M. Kahn, J. Anthony Tyson +310
(Abridged) We describe here the most ambitious survey currently planned in the optical, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). A vast array of science will be enabled by a sin…
