The shape of the SDSS DR5 galaxy power spectrum

Will J. Percival, Robert C. Nichol, Daniel J. Eisenstein +14

We present a Fourier analysis of the clustering of galaxies in the combined Main galaxy and Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 5 (DR5) sample. T…

Measuring the matter density using baryon oscillations in the SDSS

Will J. Percival, Robert C. Nichol, Daniel J. Eisenstein +12

We measure the cosmological matter density by observing the positions of baryon acoustic oscillations in the clustering of galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We joint…

Cosmological Constraints from the SDSS Luminous Red Galaxies

M Tegmark, D Eisenstein, M Strauss +64

We measure the large-scale real-space power spectrum P(k) using luminous red galaxies (LRGs) in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and use this measurement to sharpen constraints…

The GOODS-North Radio Galaxies: On the Origin of the Radio Emission

G. Morrison, M. Dickinson, F. Owen +7

We report on a preliminary study concerning the origin of radio emission within radio galaxies at L(1.4GHz)>1E24 W/Hz in the GOODS-N field. In the local universe, Condon et al. (20…

The Effect of Large-Scale Structure on the SDSS Galaxy Three-Point Correlation Function

R. C. Nichol, R. K. Sheth, Y. Suto +21

We present measurements of the normalised redshift-space three-point correlation function (Q_z) of galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) main galaxy sample. We have app…

The SDSS Quasar Survey: Quasar Luminosity Function from Data Release Three

Gordon T. Richards, Michael A. Strauss, Xiaohui Fan +19

We determine the number counts and z=0-5 luminosity function for a well-defined, homogeneous sample of quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We conservatively define th…

Interferometric 890 micron Images of High Redshift Submillimeter Galaxies

D. Iono, A. B. Peck, A. Pope +12

We present high resolution 890 micron images of two 20 mJy submillimeter galaxies, SMMJ123711+622212 and MIPS~J142824.0+352619, obtained using the Submillimeter Array (SMA). Using…
