Precision photometric redshift calibration for galaxy-galaxy weak lensing
R. Mandelbaum, U. Seljak, C. M. Hirata +26
Accurate photometric redshifts are among the key requirements for precision weak lensing measurements. Both the large size of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the existence…
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…
The Fifth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Jennifer K. Adelman-McCarthy
This paper describes the Fifth Data Release (DR5) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). DR5 includes all survey quality data taken through June 2005 and represents the completion…
A robust lower limit on the amplitude of matter fluctuations in the universe from cluster abundance and weak lensing
Rachel Mandelbaum, Uros Seljak
Cluster abundance measurements are among the most sensitive probes of the amplitude of matter fluctuations in the universe, which in turn can help constrain other cosmological para…
Intrinsic galaxy alignments from the 2SLAQ and SDSS surveys: luminosity and redshift scalings and implications for weak lensing surveys
Christopher M. Hirata, Rachel Mandelbaum, Mustapha Ishak +5
Correlations between intrinsic shear and the density field on large scales, a potentially important contaminant for cosmic shear surveys, have been robustly detected at low redshif…
