SNe Ia host galaxy properties from Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II spectroscopy

Jonas Johansson, Daniel Thomas, Janine Pforr +7

We study the stellar populations of SNe Ia host galaxies using SDSS-II spectroscopy. We focus on the relationships of SNe Ia properties with stellar velocity dispersion and the ste…

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…

Stellar velocity dispersions and emission line properties of SDSS-III/BOSS galaxies

D. Thomas, O. Steele, C. Maraston +24

We perform a spectroscopic analysis of 492,450 galaxy spectra from the first two years of observations of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III/Baryonic Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey…

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…

The Spitzer Extragalactic Representative Volume Survey (SERVS): survey definition and goals

J. -C. Mauduit, M. Lacy, D. Farrah +81

We present the Spitzer Extragalactic Representative Volume Survey (SERVS), an 18 square degrees medium-deep survey at 3.6 and 4.5 microns with the post-cryogenic Spitzer Space Tele…

Recovering galaxy stellar population properties from broad-band spectral energy distribution fitting

Janine Pforr, Claudia Maraston, Chiara Tonini

(Abridged) We explore the dependence of galaxy stellar population properties derived from broad-band SED-fitting - such as age, stellar mass, dust reddening, etc. - on a variety of…

The progenitors of present-day massive red galaxies up to z ~ 0.7 - finding passive galaxies using SDSS-I/II and SDSS-III

Rita Tojeiro, Will Percival, David A. Wake +21

We present a comprehensive study of 250,000 galaxies targeted by the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) up to z ~ 0.7 with the specific goal of identifying and characte…
