The environments and clustering properties of 2dFGRS-selected starburst galaxies
Matt Owers, Chris Blake, Warrick Couch +2
We investigate the environments and clustering properties of starburst galaxies selected from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) in order to determine which, if any, environme…
Halo-model signatures from 380,000 SDSS Luminous Red Galaxies with photometric redshifts
Chris Blake, Adrian Collister, Ofer Lahav
We analyze the small-scale clustering in "MegaZ-LRG", a large photometric-redshift catalogue of Luminous Red Galaxies extracted from the imaging dataset of the Sloan Digital Sky Su…
Optimising Baryon Acoustic Oscillation Surveys - I: Testing the concordance LCDM cosmology
David Parkinson, Chris Blake, Martin Kunz +3
We optimize the design of future spectroscopic redshift surveys for constraining the dark energy via precision measurements of the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO), with particul…
MegaZ-LRG: A photometric redshift catalogue of one million SDSS Luminous Red Galaxies
Adrian Collister, Ofer Lahav, Chris Blake +14
We describe the construction of MegaZ-LRG, a photometric redshift catalogue of over one million luminous red galaxies (LRGs) in the redshift range 0.4 < z < 0.7 with limiting magni…
Cosmological baryonic and matter densities from 600,000 SDSS Luminous Red Galaxies with photometric redshifts
Chris Blake, Adrian Collister, Sarah Bridle +1
We analyze MegaZ-LRG, a photometric-redshift catalogue of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) based on the imaging data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) 4th Data Release. MegaZ-LRG,…
On the cross-correlation of sub-mm sources and optically-selected galaxies
Chris Blake, Alexandra Pope, Douglas Scott +1
Bright sub-mm galaxies are expected to arise in massive highly-biased haloes, and hence exhibit strong clustering. We argue that a valuable tool for measuring these clustering prop…
