Cosmological Constraints from a Combined Analysis of the Cluster Mass Function and Microwave Background Anisotropies

Alessandro Melchiorri, Paul Bode, Neta A. Bahcall +1

We present constraints on several cosmological parameters from a combined analysis of the most recent Cosmic Microwave Background anisotropy data and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey c…

The overdensities of galaxy environments as a function of luminosity and color

David W. Hogg, Michael R. Blanton, Daniel J. Eisenstein +9

We study the mean environments of galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey as a function of rest-frame luminosity and color. Overdensities in galaxy number are estimated in $8 h^{-…

The Amplitude of Mass Fluctuations

Neta A. Bahcall, Paul Bode

We determine the linear amplitude of mass fluctuations in the universe, sigma_8, from the abundance of massive clusters at redshifts z=0.5 to 0.8. The evolution of massive clusters…

The Galaxy Luminosity Function and Luminosity Density at Redshift z=0.1

Michael R. Blanton, David W. Hogg, J. Brinkmann +16

Using a catalog of 147,986 galaxy redshifts and fluxes from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) we measure the galaxy luminosity density at z=0.1 in five optical bandpasses corresp…

The Broad-band Optical Properties of Galaxies with Redshifts 0.0 < z < 0.2

M. R. Blanton, D. W. Hogg, N. A. Bahcall +18

Using photometry and spectroscopy of 144,609 galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we present bivariate distributions of pairs of seven galaxy properties: four optical colors…

Two-Dimensional Topology of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

Fiona Hoyle, Michael S. Vogeley, J. Richard Gott +6

We present the topology of a volume-limited sample of 11,884 galaxies, selected from an apparent-magnitude limited sample of over 100,000 galaxies observed as part of the Sloan Dig…

The Cluster Mass Function from Early SDSS Data: Cosmological Implications

Neta A. Bahcall, Feng Dong, Paul Bode +15

The mass function of clusters of galaxies is determined from 400 deg^2 of early commissioning imaging data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey; ~300 clusters in the redshift range z =…

Composite Luminosity Functions Based on the Sloan Digital Sky Survey "Cut & Enhance" Galaxy Cluster Catalog

Tomotsugu Goto, Sadanori Okamura, Timothy A. Mckay +9

We present here results on the composite luminosity functions of galaxies in the clusters of galaxies selected from the SDSS Cut and Enhance cluster catalog (CE; Goto et al. 2001).…

The luminosity density of red galaxies

David W. Hogg, Michael Blanton, Iskra Strateva

A complete sample of galaxies with five-band imaging and spectroscopic redshifts from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey is used to determine the fraction of the optical…

Unusual Broad Absorption Line Quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

Patrick B. Hall, S. F. Anderson, M. A. Strauss +6

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has confirmed the existence of populations of broad absorption line (BAL) quasars with various unusual properties. We present and discuss twenty-three…

Exploratory Chandra Observations of the Three Highest Redshift Quasars Known

W. N. Brandt, D. P. Schneider, X. Fan +13

We report on exploratory Chandra observations of the three highest redshift quasars known (z = 5.82, 5.99, and 6.28), all found in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. These data, combine…

Optical and Radio Properties of Extragalactic Sources Observed by the FIRST and SDSS Surveys

Z. Ivezic, K. Menou, M. Strauss +6

We discuss the optical and radio properties of 30,000 FIRST sources positionally associated with an SDSS source in 1230 deg of sky. The majority (83%) of the FIRST sources iden…
