Cross-correlating WMAP5 with 1.5 million LRGs: a new test for the ISW effect
U. Sawangwit, T. Shanks, R. D. Cannon +3
We present the cross-correlation of the density map of LRGs and the temperature fluctuation in the CMB as measured by the WMAP5 observations. The LRG samples were extracted from im…
Angular correlation function of 1.5 million LRGs: clustering evolution and a search for BAO
U. Sawangwit, T. Shanks, F. B. Abdalla +5
We present the angular correlation function measured from photometric samples comprising 1,562,800 luminous red galaxies (LRGs). Three LRG samples were extracted from the Sloan Dig…
The WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey: Survey Design and First Data Release
Michael J. Drinkwater, Russell J. Jurek, Chris Blake +24
The WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey is a survey of 240,000 emission line galaxies in the distant universe, measured with the AAOmega spectrograph on the 3.9-m Anglo-Australian Telescope…
The WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey: Direct constraints on blue galaxy intrinsic alignments at intermediate redshifts
Rachel Mandelbaum, Chris Blake, Sarah Bridle +21
Correlations between the intrinsic shapes of galaxy pairs, and between the intrinsic shapes of galaxies and the large-scale density field, may be induced by tidal fields. These cor…
Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA): Optimal Tiling of Dense Surveys with a Multi-Object Spectrograph
Aaron Robotham, S. P. Driver, P. Norberg +23
A heuristic greedy algorithm is developed for efficiently tiling spatially dense redshift surveys. In its first application to the Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) redshift survey w…
Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): The input catalogue and star-galaxy separation
I. K. Baldry, A. S. G. Robotham, D. T. Hill +24
We describe the spectroscopic target selection for the Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey. The input catalogue is drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and UKIRT Infra…
