The Large, Oxygen-Rich Halos of Star-Forming Galaxies Are A Major Reservoir of Galactic Metals
Jason Tumlinson, Christopher Thom, Jessica K. Werk +11
The circumgalactic medium (CGM) is fed by galaxy outflows and accretion of intergalactic gas, but its mass, heavy element enrichment, and relation to galaxy properties are poorly c…
Accretion-Driven Evolution of Black Holes: Eddington Ratios, Duty Cycles, and Active Galaxy Fractions
Francesco Shankar, David H. Weinberg, Jordi Miralda-Escude'
We develop semi-empirical models of the supermassive black hole and active galactic nucleus (AGN) populations, which incorporate the black hole growth implied by the observed AGN l…
The BigBOSS Experiment
D. Schlegel, F. Abdalla, T. Abraham +138
BigBOSS is a Stage IV ground-based dark energy experiment to study baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) and the growth of structure with a wide-area galaxy and quasar redshift survey…
The intergalactic medium over the last 10 billion years II: Metal-line absorption and physical conditions
Benjamin D. Oppenheimer, Romeel Davé, Neal Katz +2
We investigate the metallicity evolution and content of the intergalactic medium (IGM) and galactic halo gas from z=2->0 using 110-million particle cosmological hydrodynamic simula…
The SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Quasar Target Selection for Data Release Nine
Nicholas P. Ross, Adam D. Myers, Erin S. Sheldon +36
The SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), a five-year spectroscopic survey of 10,000 deg^2, achieved first light in late 2009. One of the key goals of BOSS is to…
The Lyman-alpha forest in three dimensions: measurements of large scale flux correlations from BOSS 1st-year data
Anže Slosar, Andreu Font-Ribera, Matthew M. Pieri +34
Using a sample of approximately 14,000 z>2.1 quasars observed in the first year of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), we measure the three-dimensional correlation…
