AutoKnots: Adaptive Knot Allocation for Spline Interpolation
Sandro D. P. Vitenti, Fernando de Simoni, Mariana Penna-Lima +1
In astrophysical and cosmological analyses, the increasing quality and volume of astronomical data demand efficient and precise computational tools. This work introduces a novel ad…
Evolution of Galaxy Luminosity Function Using Photometric Redshifts
B. H. F. Ramos, P. S. Pellegrini, C. Benoist +6
We examine the impact of using photometric redshifts for studying the evolution of both the global galaxy luminosity function (LF) and that for different galaxy types. To this end…
The Dark Energy Survey: Prospects for Resolved Stellar Populations
B. M. Rossetto, B. X. Santiago, L. Girardi +17
Wide angle and deep surveys, regardless of their primary purpose, always sample a large number of stars in the Galaxy and in its satellite system. We here make a forecast of the ex…
The clustering of massive galaxies at z~0.5 from the first semester of BOSS data
Martin White, M. Blanton, A. Bolton +25
We calculate the real- and redshift-space clustering of massive galaxies at z~0.5 using the first semester of data by the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). We study t…
