The Sloan Digital Sky Survey
James E. Gunn, David H. Weinberg
We summarize the plans for and the current status of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, a digital imaging and spectroscopic survey of steradians in the northern Galactic cap. The CC…
Studying Structure Formation With Large Galaxy Redshift Surveys
David H. Weinberg
I outline the connections between some of the most widely used statistical measures of galaxy clustering and the fundamental issues in the theory of structure formation. I devote p…
Kurtosis of Large-Scale Cosmic Fields
Ewa Luiza Lokas, Roman Juszkiewicz, David Weinberg +1
An attractive and simple hypothesis for the formation of large-scale structure is that it developed by gravitational instability from primordial fluctuations with an initially Gaus…
Physically Detached "Compact Groups"
Lars Hernquist, Neal Katz, David Weinberg
A small fraction of galaxies appear to reside in dense compact groups, whose inferred crossing times are much shorter than a Hubble time. These short crossing times have led to con…
