Sub-percentage measure of distances to redshift of 0.1 by a new cosmic ruler
Yong Shi, Yanmei Chen, Shude Mao +4
Distance-redshift diagrams probe expansion history of the Universe. We show that the stellar mass-binding energy (massE) relation of galaxies proposed in our previous study offers…
Spatially resolved star formation histories of nearby galaxies: evidence for episodic star formation in discs
Mei-Ling Huang, Guinevere Kauffmann, Yan-Mei Chen +4
We use long-slit spectroscopy from Moran et al. to study the radial dependence of the recent star formation histories of nearby galaxies with stellar masses greater than 10^10M_sun…
The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Luminosity and Color Dependence and Redshift Evolution
Hong Guo, Idit Zehavi, Zheng Zheng +40
We measure the luminosity and color dependence and the redshift evolution of galaxy clustering in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey Ninth Dat…
Evolution of the Most Massive Galaxies to z ~ 0.6: II. The link between radio AGN activity and star formation
Yan-Mei Chen, Guinevere Kauffmann, Timothy M. Heckman +6
We analyze the optical spectra of massive (log M*/Msun > 11.4) radio-loud galaxies at z~0.2 and z~0.6. By comparing stellar population parameters of these radio-loud samples with r…
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…
Stellar masses of SDSS-III BOSS galaxies at z~0.5 and constraints to galaxy formation models
Claudia Maraston, Janine Pforr, Bruno M. Henriques +27
We calculate stellar masses for massive luminous galaxies at redshift 0.2-0.7 using the first two years of data from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). Stellar mas…
Autocorrelations of stellar light and mass at z~0 and ~1: From SDSS to DEEP2
Cheng Li, Simon D. M. White, Yanmei Chen +8
We present measurements of projected autocorrelation functions w_p(r_p) for the stellar mass of galaxies and for their light in the U, B and V bands, using data from the third data…
The quasar SDSS J142507.32+323137.4 : dual AGNs?
Zhixin Peng, Yanmei Chen, Qiusheng Gu +1
We analyze the optical spectrum of type 1 QSO SDSS J1425+3231. This ob- ject is interesting since its narrow emission lines such as [O III]λλ4959, 5007 are double- peaked, and the…
UGC8802: A Massive Disk Galaxy in Formation
Sean M. Moran, Guinevere Kauffmann, Timothy M. Heckman +11
We report new observations of the galaxy UGC8802 obtained through GASS, the GALEX Arecibo SDSS Survey, which show this galaxy to be in a remarkable evolutionary state. UGC8802 (GAS…
Evolution of gaseous disk viscosity driven by supernova explosion in star-forming galaxies at high redshift
Jian-Min Wang, Chang-Shuo Yan, Yan-Rong Li +5
Motivated by Genzel et al.'s observations of high-redshift star-forming galaxies, containing clumpy and turbulent rings or disks, we build a set of equations describing the dynamic…
