The BOSS Emission-Line Lens Survey (BELLS). I. A large spectroscopically selected sample of Lens Galaxies at redshift ~ 0.5
Joel R. Brownstein, Adam S. Bolton, David J. Schlegel +11
We present a catalog of 25 definite and 11 probable strong galaxy-galaxy gravitational lens systems with redshifts 0.4 \lesssim z \lesssim 0.7, discovered spectroscopically by the…
Evolution of The Velocity-Dispersion Function of Luminous Red Galaxies: A Hierarchical Bayesian Measurement
Yiping Shu, Adam S. Bolton, David J. Schlegel +5
We present a hierarchical Bayesian determination of the velocity-dispersion function of approximately 430,000 massive luminous red galaxies(LRGs) observed at relatively low spectro…
First Results from the 3D-HST Survey: The Striking Diversity of Massive Galaxies at z>1
Pieter G. van Dokkum, Gabriel Brammer, Mattia Fumagalli +26
We present first results from the 3D-HST program, a near-IR spectroscopic survey performed with the Wide Field Camera 3 on the Hubble Space Telescope. We have used 3D-HST spectra t…
Mass growth and mergers: direct observations of the luminosity function of LRG satellite galaxies out to z=0.7 from SDSS and BOSS images
Tomer Tal, David A. Wake, Pieter G. van Dokkum +4
We present a statistical study of the luminosity functions of galaxies surrounding luminous red galaxies (LRGs) at average redshifts <z>=0.34 and <z>=0.65. The luminosity functions…
Ameliorating Systematic Uncertainties in the Angular Clustering of Galaxies: A Study using SDSS-III
Ashley J Ross, Shirley Ho, Antonio J. Cuesta +29
We investigate the effects of potential sources of systematic error on the angular and photometric redshift, z_phot, distributions of a sample of redshift 0.4 < z < 0.7 massive gal…
The Dark Matter Haloes and Host Galaxies of MgII Absorbers at z~1
Britt Lundgren, David Wake, Nikhil Padmanabhan +2
Strong foreground absorption features from singly-ionized Magnesium (Mg II) are commonly observed in the spectra of quasars and are presumed to probe a wide range of galactic envir…
