The XMM Cluster Survey: The Halo Occupation Number of BOSS galaxies in X-ray clusters
Nicola Mehrtens, A. Kathy Romer, Robert C. Nichol +26
We present a direct measurement of the mean halo occupation distribution (HOD) of galaxies taken from the eleventh data release (DR11) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III Baryon Os…
2MTF V. Cosmography, Beta, and the residual bulk flow
Christopher M. Springob, Tao Hong, Lister Staveley-Smith +7
Using the Tully-Fisher relation, we derive peculiar velocities for the 2MASS Tully-Fisher Survey and describe the velocity field of the nearby Universe. We use adaptive kernel smoo…
SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey Data Release 12: galaxy target selection and large scale structure catalogues
Beth Reid, Shirley Ho, Nikhil Padmanabhan +39
The Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) III project, has provided the largest survey of galaxy redshifts available to date,…
Stellar Populations of Barred Quiescent Galaxies
Edmond Cheung, Charlie Conroy, E. Athanassoula +10
Selecting centrally quiescent galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) to create high signal-to-noise (>100) stacked spectra with minimal emission line contamination, we a…
P-MaNGA: Full spectral fitting and stellar population maps from prototype observations
David M. Wilkinson, Claudia Maraston, Daniel Thomas +31
MaNGA (Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory) is a 6-year SDSS-IV survey that will obtain resolved spectroscopy from 3600 to 10300 for a representative sample…
P-MaNGA: Gradients in Recent Star Formation Histories as Diagnostics for Galaxy Growth and Death
Cheng Li, Enci Wang, Lin Lin +31
We present an analysis of the data produced by the MaNGA prototype run (P-MaNGA), aiming to test how the radial gradients in recent star formation histories, as indicated by the 40…
