Constraining the quasar population with the broad-line width distribution
S. Fine, S. M. Croom, P. F. Hopkins +12
We measure the width of the MgII line in quasar spectra from the SDSS, 2QZ and 2SLAQ surveys and, by invoking an unnormalised virial mass estimator, relate the scatte…
Robust Machine Learning Applied to Terascale Astronomical Datasets
Nicholas M. Ball, Robert J. Brunner, Adam D. Myers
We present recent results from the LCDM (Laboratory for Cosmological Data Mining; http://lcdm.astro.uiuc.edu) collaboration between UIUC Astronomy and NCSA to deploy supercomputing…
QSO-LRG 2-Point Cross-Correlation Function and Redshift-Space Distorions
G. Mountrichas, T. Shanks, S. M. Croom +4
We have measured the bias of QSOs as a function of QSO luminosity at fixed redshift (z<1) by cross-correlating them with LRGs in the same spatial volume, hence breaking the degener…
Combined analysis of the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect and cosmological implications
Tommaso Giannantonio, Ryan Scranton, Robert G. Crittenden +4
We present a global measurement of the integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect obtained by cross-correlating all relevant large scale galaxy data sets with the cosmic microwave backgro…
