Galaxy clustering with photometric surveys using PDF redshift information
J. Asorey, M. Carrasco Kind, I. Sevilla-Noarbe +2
Photometric surveys produce large-area maps of the galaxy distribution, but with less accurate redshift information than is obtained from spectroscopic methods. Modern photometric…
The Dark Energy Survey: more than dark energy - an overview
Dark Energy Survey Collaboration, T. Abbott, F. B. Abdalla +138
This overview article describes the legacy prospect and discovery potential of the Dark Energy Survey (DES) beyond cosmological studies, illustrating it with examples from the DES…
Observation and Confirmation of Six Strong Lensing Systems in The Dark Energy Survey Science Verification Data
B. Nord, E. Buckley-Geer, H. Lin +89
We report the observation and confirmation of the first group- and cluster-scale strong gravitational lensing systems found in Dark Energy Survey (DES) data. Through visual inspect…
Galaxy clustering, photometric redshifts and diagnosis of systematics in the DES Science Verification data
M. Crocce, J. Carretero, A. H. Bauer +84
We study the clustering of galaxies detected at in the Science Verification observations of the Dark Energy Survey (DES). Two-point correlation functions are measured usin…
Narrow absorption line variability in repeat quasar observations from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Troy L. Hacker, Robert J. Brunner, Britt F. Lundgren +1
We present the results from a time domain study of absorption lines detected in quasar spectra with repeat observations from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 (SDSS DR7).…
Dark energy with gravitational lens time delays
T. Treu, P. J. Marshall, F. -Y. Cyr-Racine +35
Strong lensing gravitational time delays are a powerful and cost effective probe of dark energy. Recent studies have shown that a single lens can provide a distance measurement wit…
TPZ : Photometric redshift PDFs and ancillary information by using prediction trees and random forests
M. Carrasco Kind, R. J. Brunner
With the growth of large photometric surveys, accurately estimating photometric redshifts, preferably as a probability density function (PDF), and fully understanding the implicit…
The SDSS Galaxy Angular Two-Point Correlation Function
Y. Wang, R. J. Brunner, J. C. Dolence
We present the galaxy two-point angular correlation function for galaxies selected from the seventh data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The galaxy sample was selected wit…
The SDSS DR7 Galaxy Angular Power Spectrum: Volume-Limits and Galaxy Morphology
Brett Hayes, Robert Brunner
We use a quadratic estimator with KL-compression to calculate the angular power spectrum of a volume-limited Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 (DR7) galaxy sample out…
Large Synoptic Survey Telescope: Dark Energy Science Collaboration
LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration
This white paper describes the LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC), whose goal is the study of dark energy and related topics in fundamental physics with data from the La…
The SDSS DR7 Galaxy Angular Power Spectrum
Brett Hayes, Robert Brunner, Ashley Ross
We calculate the angular power spectrum of galaxies selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 (DR7) by using a quadratic estimation method with KL-compressio…
Evolution of the Clustering of Photometrically Selected SDSS Galaxies
Ashley J. Ross, Will J. Percival, Robert J. Brunner
We measure the angular auto-correlation functions (w) of SDSS galaxies selected to have photometric redshifts 0.1 < z < 0.4 and absolute r-band magnitudes Mr < -21.2. We split thes…
Halo-model Analysis of the Clustering of Photometrically Selected Galaxies from SDSS
Ashley J Ross, Robert J. Brunner
We measure the angular 2-point correlation functions of galaxies in a volume limited, photometrically selected galaxy sample from the fifth data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Su…
Clustering of Low-Redshift (z <= 2.2) Quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Nicholas P. Ross, Yue Shen, Michael A. Strauss +8
We present measurements of the quasar two-point correlation function, ξ_{Q}, over the redshift range z=0.3-2.2 based upon data from the SDSS. Using a homogeneous sample of 30,239 q…
A Cross-Correlation Analysis of Mg II Absorption Line Systems and Luminous Red Galaxies from the SDSS DR5
Britt F. Lundgren, Robert J. Brunner, Donald G. York +6
We analyze the cross-correlation of 2,705 unambiguously intervening Mg II (2796,2803A) quasar absorption line systems with 1,495,604 luminous red galaxies (LRGs) from the Fifth Dat…
