The [O II] lambda 3727 Luminosity Function at z ~ 1

Guangtun Zhu, John Moustakas, Michael R. Blanton

We measure the evolution of the [OII]lambda 3727 luminosity function at 0.75<z<1.45 using high-resolution spectroscopy of ~14,000 galaxies observed by the DEEP2 galaxy redshift sur…

Cross-correlation Weak Lensing of SDSS Galaxy Clusters III: Mass-to-light Ratios

Erin S. Sheldon, David E. Johnston, Morad Masjedi +8

We present measurements of the excess mass-to-light ratio measured aroundMaxBCG galaxy clusters observed in the SDSS. This red sequence cluster sample includes objects from small g…

The growth of luminous red galaxies by merging

Morad Masjedi, David W. Hogg, Michael R. Blanton

We study the role of major and minor mergers in the mass growth of luminous red galaxies. We present small-scale ($0.01<r<8\,\hMpc$) projected cross-correlation functions of $23043…

Testing cold dark matter with the low mass Tully-Fisher relation

Michael R. Blanton, Marla Geha, Andrew A. West

The galaxy circular velocity function at small masses is related to the matter power spectrum on small scales. Although this function is well-studied for Local Group dwarfs, theore…
