The WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey: mapping the distance-redshift relation with baryon acoustic oscillations
Chris Blake, Eyal Kazin, Florian Beutler +26
We present measurements of the baryon acoustic peak at redshifts z = 0.44, 0.6 and 0.73 in the galaxy correlation function of the final dataset of the WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey. W…
Ameliorating Systematic Uncertainties in the Angular Clustering of Galaxies: A Study using SDSS-III
Ashley J Ross, Shirley Ho, Antonio J. Cuesta +29
We investigate the effects of potential sources of systematic error on the angular and photometric redshift, z_phot, distributions of a sample of redshift 0.4 < z < 0.7 massive gal…
Improving measurements of H(z) and Da(z) by analyzing clustering anisotropies
Eyal A. Kazin, Ariel G. Sanchez, Michael R. Blanton
The baryonic acoustic feature in galaxy clustering is a promising tool for constraining the nature of the cosmic acceleration, through measurements of expansion rates H and angular…
Improved background subtraction for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey images
Michael R. Blanton, Eyal Kazin, Demitri Muna +2
We describe a procedure for background subtracting Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) imaging that improves the resulting detection and photometry of large galaxies on the sky. Within…
The Eighth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Data from SDSS-III
III collaboration, Hiroaki Aihara, Carlos Allende Prieto +178
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) started a new phase in August 2008, with new instrumentation and new surveys focused on Galactic structure and chemical evolution, measurements…
