Stellar population models based on the SDSS-IV MaStar library of stellar spectra. I. Intermediate-age/old models

C. Maraston, L. Hill, D. Thomas +14

We use the first release of the SDSS/MaStar stellar library comprising ~9000, high S/N spectra, to calculate integrated spectra of stellar population models. The models extend over…

Probing the kinematic morphology-density relation of early-type galaxies with MaNGA

J. E. Greene, A. Leauthaud, E. Emsellem +17

The "kinematic" morphology-density relation for early-type galaxies posits that those galaxies with low angular momentum are preferentially found in the highest-density regions of…

SDSS-IV MaNGA: Uncovering the Angular Momentum Content of Central and Satellite Early-type Galaxies

Jenny E. Greene, Alexie Leauthaud, Eric Emsellem +18

We study 379 central and 159 satellite early-type galaxies with two-dimensional kinematics from the integral-field survey Mapping Nearby Galaxies at APO (MaNGA) to determine how th…

The clustering of galaxies in the completed SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: tomographic BAO analysis of DR12 combined sample in configuration space

Yuting Wang, Gong-Bo Zhao, Chia-Hsun Chuang +20

We perform a tomographic baryon acoustic oscillations analysis using the two-point galaxy correlation function measured from the combined sample of BOSS DR12, which covers the reds…

The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: RSD measurement from the LOS-dependent power spectrum of DR12 BOSS galaxies

Héctor Gil-Marín, Will J. Percival, Joel R. Brownstein +13

We measure and analyse the clustering of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) relative to the line-of-sight (LOS), for LOWZ and CMASS galaxy samples drawn from the fi…

Detecting Massive Galaxies at High Redshift using the Dark Energy Survey

L. J. M. Davies, C. Maraston, D. Thomas +10

The Dark Energy Survey (DES) will be unprecedented in its ability to probe exceptionally large cosmic volumes to relatively faint optical limits. Primarily designed for the study o…
