The shape of the SDSS DR5 galaxy power spectrum
Will J. Percival, Robert C. Nichol, Daniel J. Eisenstein +14
We present a Fourier analysis of the clustering of galaxies in the combined Main galaxy and Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 5 (DR5) sample. T…
Measuring the matter density using baryon oscillations in the SDSS
Will J. Percival, Robert C. Nichol, Daniel J. Eisenstein +12
We measure the cosmological matter density by observing the positions of baryon acoustic oscillations in the clustering of galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We joint…
Cosmological Constraints from the SDSS Luminous Red Galaxies
M Tegmark, D Eisenstein, M Strauss +64
We measure the large-scale real-space power spectrum P(k) using luminous red galaxies (LRGs) in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and use this measurement to sharpen constraints…
The Tully-Fisher Relation and Its Residuals for a Broadly Selected Sample of Galaxies
James Pizagno, Francisco Prada, David H. Weinberg +7
We measure the relation between galaxy luminosity and disk circular velocity (the Tully-Fisher [TF] relation), in the g, r, i, and z-bands, for a broadly selected sample of galaxie…
Accretion, feedback and galaxy bimodality: a comparison of the GalICS semi-analytic model and cosmological SPH simulations
Andrea Cattaneo, Jeremy Blaizot, David H. Weinberg +6
We compare the galaxy population of an SPH simulation to those predicted by the GalICS semi-analytic model and a stripped down version without supernova and AGN feedback. The SPH s…
On the Evolutionary History of Stars and their Fossil Mass and Light
Mark A. Fardal, Neal Katz, David H. Weinberg +1
The total extragalactic background radiation can be an important test of the global star formation history (SFH). Using direct observational estimates of the SFH, along with standa…
