Weak lensing mass map and peak statistics in Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Stripe 82 survey

HuanYuan Shan, Jean-Paul Kneib, Johan Comparat +10

We present a weak lensing mass map covering ~124 square degrees of the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope Stripe 82 Survey (CS82). We study the statistics of rare peaks in the map, inc…

Measuring galaxy [OII] emission line doublet with future ground-based wide-field spectroscopic surveys

Johan Comparat, Jean-Paul Kneib, Roland Bacon +4

The next generation of wide-field spectroscopic redshift surveys will map the large-scale galaxy distribution in the redshift range 0.7< z<2 to measure baryonic acoustic oscillatio…

Spectroscopic Needs for Imaging Dark Energy Experiments: Photometric Redshift Training and Calibration

J. Newman, A. Abate, F. Abdalla +58

Large sets of objects with spectroscopic redshift measurements will be needed for imaging dark energy experiments to achieve their full potential, serving two goals:_training_, i.e…

The Tenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data from the SDSS-III Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment

Christopher P. Ahn, Rachael Alexandroff, Carlos Allende Prieto +232

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has been in operation since 2000 April. This paper presents the tenth public data release (DR10) from its current incarnation, SDSS-III. This da…

Stochastic bias of colour-selected BAO tracers by joint clustering-weak lensing analysis

Johan Comparat, Eric Jullo, Jean-Paul Kneib +15

The baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) feature in the two-point correlation function of galaxies supplies a standard ruler to probe the expansion history of the Universe. We study h…

Mass assembly in quiescent and star-forming galaxies since z=4 from UltraVISTA

O. Ilbert, H. J. McCracken, O. Le Fevre +33

We estimate the galaxy stellar mass function and stellar mass density for star-forming and quiescent galaxies with 0.2<z<4. We construct a deep K<24 sample of 220000 galaxies selec…

The ELG target selection with the BOSS survey

S. Escoffier, J. Comparat, A. Ealet +3

The Baryon Acoustic Oscillation (BAO) feature in the power spectrum of galaxies can be used as a standard ruler to probe the accelerated expansion of the Universe. In this paper, w…
