Radiative transfer through the Intergalactic Medium

James Bolton, Avery Meiksin, Martin White

We use a probabilistic method to compute the propagation of an ionization front corresponding to the re-ionization of the intergalactic medium in a LCDM cosmology, including both h…

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Quasar Catalog II. First Data Release

Donald P. Schneider, Xiaohui Fan, Patrick B. Hall +13

We present the second edition of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Quasar Catalog. The catalog consists of 16713 objects in the SDSS First Data Release (DR1) that have luminositi…

The dependence on environment of the color-magnitude relation of galaxies

David W. Hogg, Michael R. Blanton, Jarle Brinchmann +8

The distribution in color and absolute magnitude is presented for 55,158 galaxies taken from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey in the redshift range , as a function of gala…

The effects of UV background correlations on LyA forest flux statistics

Avery Meiksin, Martin White

We examine the possible effects of UV background fluctuations on the pixel flux power spectrum and auto-correlation function of the LyA forest due to a finite number of sources in…

The First Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

The SDSS collaboration, Kevork Abazajian

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has validated and made publicly available its First Data Release. This consists of 2099 square degrees of five-band (u, g, r, i, z) imaging data, 186,2…

Constraints on the UV metagalactic emissivity using the LyA forest

Avery Meiksin, Martin White

Numerical hydrodynamical simulations have proven a successful means of reproducing many of the statistical properties of the LyA forest as measured in high redshift (z > 4) quasar…

On Departures From a Power Law in the Galaxy Correlation Function

Idit Zehavi, David H. Weinberg, Zheng Zheng +7

We measure the projected correlation function w_p(r_p) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey for a flux-limited sample of 118,000 galaxies and for a volume limited subset of 22,000 gal…

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey: The Cosmic Spectrum and Star-Formation History

Karl Glazebrook, Ivan K. Baldry, Michael R. Blanton +13

We present a determination of the `Cosmic Optical Spectrum' of the Universe, i.e. the ensemble emission from galaxies, as determined from the red-selected Sloan Digital Sky Survey…
