The Third Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

K. Abazajian et al.

This paper describes the Third Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). This release, containing data taken up through June 2003, includes imaging data in five bands ov…

What does inflation really predict?

Max Tegmark

If the inflaton potential has multiple minima, as may be expected in, e.g., the string theory "landscape", inflation predicts a probability distribution for the cosmological parame…

NYU-VAGC: a galaxy catalog based on new public surveys

Michael R. Blanton, David J. Schlegel, Michael A. Strauss +12

Here we present the New York University Value-Added Galaxy Catalog (NYU-VAGC), a catalog of local galaxies (mostly below a redshift of about 0.3) based on a set of publicly-release…

The Luminosity and Color Dependence of the Galaxy Correlation Function

I. Zehavi, Z. Zheng, D. H. Weinberg +24

We study the luminosity and color dependence of the galaxy 2-point correlation function in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, starting from a sample of 200,000 galaxies over 2500 deg^2.…

Non-parametric inversion of strong lensing systems

J. M. Diego, P. Protopapas, H. B Sandvik +1

We revisit the issue of non-parametric gravitational lens reconstruction and present a new method to obtain the cluster mass distribution using strong lensing data without using an…

New dark energy constraints from supernovae, microwave background and galaxy clustering

Yun Wang, Max Tegmark

Using the spectacular new high redshift supernova observations from the HST/GOODS program and previous supernova, CMB and galaxy clustering data, we make the most accurate measurem…
