The BOSS Lyman-alpha Forest Sample from SDSS Data Release 9
Khee-Gan Lee, Stephen Bailey, Leslie E. Bartsch +50
We present the BOSS Lyman-alpha (Lya) Forest Sample from SDSS Data Release 9, comprising 54,468 quasar spectra with zqso > 2.15 suitable for Lya forest analysis. This data set prob…
An optimized correlation function estimator for galaxy surveys
M. Vargas-Magaña, Julian. E. Bautista, J. -Ch. Hamilton +9
Measuring the two-point correlation function of the galaxies in the Universe gives access to the underlying dark matter distribution, which is related to cosmological parameters an…
Large Synoptic Survey Telescope: Dark Energy Science Collaboration
LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration
This white paper describes the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC), whose goal is the study of dark energy and related topics in fundamental physics with data from the La…
The SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: The Quasar Luminosity Function from Data Release Nine
Nicholas P. Ross, Ian D. McGreer, Martin White +39
We present a new measurement of the optical Quasar Luminosity Function (QLF), using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III: Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (SDSS-III: B…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey quasar catalog: ninth data release
Isabelle Pâris, Patrick Petitjean, Eric Aubourg +73
We present the Data Release 9 Quasar (DR9Q) catalog from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III. The catalog includes all BOSS objec…
Column density distribution and cosmological mass density of neutral gas: Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III Data Release 9
P. Noterdaeme, P. Petitjean, W. C. Carithers +19
We present the first results from an ongoing survey for Damped Lyman-alpha systems (DLAs) in the spectra of z>2 quasars observed in the course of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscop…
The Clustering of Galaxies in SDSS-III DR9 Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Constraints on Primordial Non-Gaussianity
Ashley J. Ross, Will J. Percival, Aurelio Carnero +36
We analyze the density field of 264,283 galaxies observed by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) and included in the SDSS data re…
The Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey of SDSS-III
Kyle S. Dawson, David J. Schlegel, Christopher P. Ahn +162
The Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) is designed to measure the scale of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the clustering of matter over a larger volume than the…
Spectral Classification and Redshift Measurement for the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey
Adam S. Bolton, David J. Schlegel, Eric Aubourg +29
(abridged) We describe the automated spectral classification, redshift determination, and parameter measurement pipeline in use for the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOS…
Investigating Emission Line Galaxy Surveys with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Telescope
Johan Comparat, Jean-Paul Kneib, Stephanie Escoffier +22
The Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) feature in the power spectrum of galaxies provides a standard ruler to probe the accelerated expansion of the Universe. The current surveys co…
The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in the Data Release 9 Spectroscopic Galaxy Sample
Lauren Anderson, Eric Aubourg, Stephen Bailey +73
We present measurements of galaxy clustering from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), which is part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III). These use the Da…
The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: cosmological implications of the large-scale two-point correlation function
Ariel G. Sanchez, C. G. Scoccola, A. J. Ross +53
We obtain constraints on cosmological parameters from the spherically averaged redshift-space correlation function of the CMASS Data Release 9 (DR9) sample of the Baryonic Oscillat…
Evidence of Galaxy Cluster Motions with the Kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich Effect
Nick Hand, Graeme E. Addison, Eric Aubourg +55
Using high-resolution microwave sky maps made by the Atacama Cosmology Telescope, we for the first time present strong evidence for motions of galaxy clusters and groups via microw…
