The DESI Experiment Part II: Instrument Design
DESI Collaboration, Amir Aghamousa, Jessica Aguilar +290
DESI (Dark Energy Spectropic Instrument) is a Stage IV ground-based dark energy experiment that will study baryon acoustic oscillations and the growth of structure through redshift…
The DESI Experiment Part I: Science,Targeting, and Survey Design
DESI Collaboration, Amir Aghamousa, Jessica Aguilar +290
DESI (Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument) is a Stage IV ground-based dark energy experiment that will study baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) and the growth of structure through…
Clustering of quasars in the First Year of the SDSS-IV eBOSS survey: Interpretation and halo occupation distribution
Sergio A. Rodríguez-Torres, Johan Comparat, Francisco Prada +10
In current and future surveys, quasars play a key role. The new data will extend our knowledge of the Universe as it will be used to better constrain the cosmological model at reds…
The SDSS-IV eBOSS: emission line galaxy catalogues at z=0.8 and study of systematic errors in the angular clustering
T. Delubac, A. Raichoor, J. Comparat +17
We present two wide-field catalogs of photometrically-selected emission line galaxies (ELGs) at z=0.8 covering about 2800 deg^2 over the south galactic cap. The catalogs were obtai…
Galaxy clustering dependence on the emission line luminosity in the local Universe
Ginevra Favole, Sergio A. Rodríguez-Torres, Johan Comparat +4
We study the galaxy clustering dependence on the emission line luminosity in the SDSS DR7 Main galaxy sample at mean redshift . W…
The Astropy Problem
Demitri Muna, Michael Alexander, Alice Allen +151
The Astropy Project (http://astropy.org) is, in its own words, "a community effort to develop a single core package for Astronomy in Python and foster interoperability between Pyth…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Quasar Catalog: twelfth data release
Isabelle Pâris, Patrick Petitjean, Nicholas P. Ross +43
We present the Data Release 12 Quasar catalog (DR12Q) from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) of the SDSS-III. This catalog includes all SDSS-III/BOSS objects that…
Galaxy Three-Point Correlation Functions and Halo/Subhalo Models
Hong Guo, Zheng Zheng, Peter S. Behroozi +9
We present the measurements of the luminosity-dependent redshift-space three-point correlation functions (3PCFs) for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR7 Main galaxy sample. We…
The clustering of galaxies in the completed SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: cosmological analysis of the DR12 galaxy sample
Shadab Alam, Metin Ata, Stephen Bailey +69
We present cosmological results from the final galaxy clustering data set of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey, part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III. Our combined gal…
The clustering of luminous red galaxies at z 0.7 from eBOSS and BOSS data
Zhongxu Zhai, Jeremy L. Tinker, ChangHoon Hahn +15
We present the first scientific results from the luminous red galaxy sample (LRG) of the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS). We measure the small and intermed…
The evolution of the [OII], Hβ and [OIII] emission-line luminosity functions over the last nine billions years
Johan Comparat, Guangtun Zhu, Violeta Gonzalez-Perez +12
Emission line galaxies are one of the main tracers of the large-scale structure to be targeted by the next-generation dark energy surveys. To provide a better understanding of the…
The Detailed Science Case for the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer: the Composition and Dynamics of the Faint Universe
Alan McConnachie, Carine Babusiaux, Michael Balogh +173
MSE is an 11.25m aperture observatory with a 1.5 square degree field of view that will be fully dedicated to multi-object spectroscopy. More than 3200 fibres will feed spectrograph…
