PRIMUS: Galaxy Clustering as a Function of Luminosity and Color at 0.2<z<1

Ramin A. Skibba, M. Stephen M. Smith, Alison L. Coil +9

We present measurements of the luminosity and color-dependence of galaxy clustering at 0.2<z<1.0 in the PRIsm MUlti-object Survey (PRIMUS). We quantify the clustering with the reds…

The Large-scale Distribution of Cool Gas around Luminous Red Galaxies

Guangtun Zhu, Brice Ménard, Dmitry Bizyaev +12

We present a measurement of the correlation function between luminous red galaxies and cool gas traced by Mg II λλ2796, 2803 absorption, on scales ranging from about 30 kpc to 20 M…

Calcium H & K Induced by Galaxy Halos

Guangtun Zhu, Brice Ménard

We present a measurement of the mean density profile of Ca II gas around galaxies out to ~ 200 kpc, traced by Fraunhofer's H & K absorption lines. The measurement is based on cross…

PRIMUS: Infrared and X-ray AGN Selection Techniques at 0.2<z<1.2

Alexander J. Mendez, Alison L. Coil, James Aird +7

We present a study of Spitzer/IRAC and X-ray active galactic nuclei (AGNs) selection techniques in order to quantify the overlap, uniqueness, contamination, and completeness of eac…
