The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: the low redshift sample
John K. Parejko, Tomomi Sunayama, Nikhil Padmanabhan +36
We report on the small scale (0.5<r<40h^-1 Mpc) clustering of 78895 massive (M*~10^11.3M_sun) galaxies at 0.2<z<0.4 from the first two years of data from the Baryon Oscillation Spe…
Acoustic scale from the angular power spectra of SDSS-III DR8 photometric luminous galaxies
Hee-Jong Seo, Shirley Ho, Martin White +31
We measure the acoustic scale from the angular power spectra of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III) Data Release 8 imaging catalog that includes 872,921 galaxies over ~ 10,…
Eclipsing Binary Science Via the Merging of Transit and Doppler Exoplanet Survey Data - A Case Study With the MARVELS Pilot Project and SuperWASP
Scott W. Fleming, Pierre F. L. Maxted, Leslie Hebb +28
Exoplanet transit and Doppler surveys discover many binary stars during their operation that can be used to conduct a variety of ancillary science. Specifically, eclipsing binary s…
The Galaxy Luminosity Function at z < 0.05: Dependence on Morphology
R. O. Marzke, L. N. da Costa, P. S. Pellegrini +2
We investigate the dependence of the local galaxy luminosity function on morphology using 5,404 galaxies from the recently enlarged Second Southern Sky Redshift Survey (SSRS2). Ove…
Compact Group Selection From Redshift Surveys
Elizabeth Barton, Margaret J. Geller, Massimo Ramella +2
For the first time, we construct a catalog of compact groups selected from a complete, magnitude-limited redshift survey. We select groups with members based on projecte…
The Power Spectrum of Galaxies in the Nearby Universe
L. N. da Costa, M. S. Vogeley, M. J. Geller +2
We compute the power spectrum of galaxy density fluctuations in a recently completed redshift survey of optically-selected galaxies in the southern hemisphere (SSRS2). The amplitud…
