The 2MASS Tully-Fisher Survey : Mapping the Mass in the Universe
T. Hong, L. Staveley-Smith, K. Masters +5
The 2MASS Tully-Fisher Survey (2MTF) aims to measure Tully-Fisher (TF) distances for all bright inclined spirals in the 2MASS Redshift Survey (2MRS) using high quality HI widths an…
Galaxy Zoo: A Catalog of Overlapping Galaxy Pairs for Dust Studies
William C. Keel, Anna Manning, Benne W. Holwerda +5
Analysis of galaxies with overlapping images offers a direct way to probe the distribution of dust extinction and its effects on the background light. We present a catalog of 1990…
The Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey of SDSS-III
Kyle S. Dawson, David J. Schlegel, Christopher P. Ahn +162
The Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) is designed to measure the scale of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the clustering of matter over a larger volume than the…
Stellar masses of SDSS-III BOSS galaxies at z~0.5 and constraints to galaxy formation models
Claudia Maraston, Janine Pforr, Bruno M. Henriques +27
We calculate stellar masses for massive luminous galaxies at redshift 0.2-0.7 using the first two years of data from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). Stellar mas…
Galaxy Zoo and ALFALFA: Atomic Gas and the Regulation of Star Formation in Barred Disc Galaxies
Karen L. Masters, Robert C. Nichol, Martha P. Haynes +7
We study the observed correlation between atomic gas content and the likelihood of hosting a large scale bar in a sample of 2090 disc galaxies. Such a test has never been done befo…
The progenitors of present-day massive red galaxies up to z ~ 0.7 - finding passive galaxies using SDSS-I/II and SDSS-III
Rita Tojeiro, Will Percival, David A. Wake +21
We present a comprehensive study of 250,000 galaxies targeted by the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) up to z ~ 0.7 with the specific goal of identifying and characte…
