The Luminosity-Weighted or `Marked' Correlation Function

Ramin Skibba, Ravi K. Sheth, Andrew J. Connolly +1

We present measurements of the redshift-space luminosity-weighted or `marked' correlation function in the SDSS. These are compared with a model in which the luminosity function and…

Marked correlations in galaxy formation models

Ravi K. Sheth, Andrew J. Connolly, Ramin Skibba

The two-point correlation function has been the standard statistic for quantifying how galaxies are clustered. The statistic uses the positions of galaxies, but not their propertie…

Photometric Covariance in Multi-Band Surveys: Understanding the Photometric Error in the SDSS

Ryan Scranton, Andrew J. Connolly, Alexander S. Szalay +5

In this paper we describe a detailed analysis of the photometric uncertainties present within the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) imaging survey based on repeat observations of app…

Spectral Decomposition of Broad-Line AGNs and Host Galaxies

Daniel E. Vanden Berk, Jiajian Shen, Ching-Wa Yip +7

Using an eigenspectrum decomposition technique, we separate the host galaxy from the broad line active galactic nucleus (AGN) in a set of 4666 spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Su…

The DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey: The Galaxy Luminosity Function to z ~ 1

C. N. A. Willmer, S. M. Faber, D. C. Koo +20

The evolution of the B-band galaxy luminosity function is measured using a sample of more than 11,000 galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts from the DEEP2 Redshift Survey. The rest…
