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…
Evolution of Galaxy Luminosity Function Using Photometric Redshifts
B. H. F. Ramos, P. S. Pellegrini, C. Benoist +6
We examine the impact of using photometric redshifts for studying the evolution of both the global galaxy luminosity function (LF) and that for different galaxy types. To this end…
The Dark Energy Survey: Prospects for Resolved Stellar Populations
B. M. Rossetto, B. X. Santiago, L. Girardi +17
Wide angle and deep surveys, regardless of their primary purpose, always sample a large number of stars in the Galaxy and in its satellite system. We here make a forecast of the ex…
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…
The clustering of massive galaxies at z~0.5 from the first semester of BOSS data
Martin White, M. Blanton, A. Bolton +25
We calculate the real- and redshift-space clustering of massive galaxies at z~0.5 using the first semester of data by the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). We study t…
