Weak Lensing with SDSS Commissioning Data: The Galaxy-Mass Correlation Function To 1/h Mpc

SDSS Collaboration, Fischer

(abridged) We present measurements of galaxy-galaxy lensing from early commissioning imaging data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We measure a mean tangential shear aroun…

Weak Gravitational Lensing by the Nearby Cluster Abell 3667

M. Joffre, P. Fischer, J. Frieman +6

We present two weak lensing reconstructions of the nearby () merging cluster Abell 3667, based on observations taken year apart under different seeing condit…

High-Redshift Quasars Found in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Commissioning Data II: The Spring Equatorial Stripe

SDSS Collaboration, Xiaohui Fan

This is the second paper in a series aimed at finding high-redshift quasars from five-color (u'g'r'i'z') imaging data taken along the Celestial Equator by the Sloan Digital Sky Sur…

Weak Lensing Mass of Nearby Clusters of Galaxies

M. Joffre, P. Fischer, J. Frieman +9

We describe first results of a project to create weak lensing mass maps for a complete, X-ray luminosity-limited sample of 19 nearby (z < 0.1) southern galaxy clusters scheduled fo…

The Projected Three-point Correlation Function: Theory and Observations

J. A. Frieman, E. Gaztanaga

We report results for the angular three-point galaxy correlation function in the APM survey and compare them with theoretical expectations. For the first time, these measurements e…

High-Redshift Quasars Found in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Commissioning Data

SDSS Collaboration, X. Fan

We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of 15 high-redshift quasars (z > 3.6) discovered from ~140 deg^2 of five-color (u'g'r'i'z') imaging data taken by the Sloan Di…
