Cosmological Constraints from Sunyaev-Zel'dovich-Selected Clusters with X-ray Observations in the First 178 Square Degrees of the South Pole Telescope Survey
B. A. Benson, T. de Haan, J. P. Dudley +73
We use measurements from the South Pole Telescope (SPT) Sunyaev Zel'dovich (SZ) cluster survey in combination with X-ray measurements to constrain cosmological parameters. We prese…
The WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey: Cosmological neutrino mass constraint from blue high-redshift galaxies
Signe Riemer-Sørensen, Chris Blake, David Parkinson +25
The absolute neutrino mass scale is currently unknown, but can be constrained from cosmology. The WiggleZ high redshift star-forming blue galaxy sample is less sensitive to systema…
The Hubble Space Telescope Cluster Supernova Survey: VI. The Volumetric Type Ia Supernova Rate
K. Barbary, G. Aldering, R. Amanullah +40
We present a measurement of the volumetric Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) rate out to z ~ 1.6 from the Hubble Space Telescope Cluster Supernova Survey. In observations spanning 189 orbi…
Stellar Populations of Highly Magnified Lensed Galaxies: Young Starbursts at z~2
Eva Wuyts, Jane R. Rigby, Michael D. Gladders +4
We present a comprehensive analysis of the rest-frame UV to near-IR spectral energy distributions and rest-frame optical spectra of four of the brightest gravitationally lensed gal…
Submillimetre Source Counts in the Fields of High-Redshift Galaxy Clusters
A. G. Noble, T. M. A. Webb, E. Ellingson +11
We present a submillimetre survey of seven high-z galaxy clusters (0.64<z<1.0) using the Submillimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) at 850 and 450 um. The targets, of simila…
Combined strong and weak lensing analysis of 28 clusters from the Sloan Giant Arcs Survey
Masamune Oguri, Matthew B. Bayliss, Haakon Dahle +5
We study the mass distribution of a sample of 28 galaxy clusters using strong and weak lensing observations. The clusters are selected via their strong lensing properties as part o…
The WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey: measuring the cosmic expansion history using the Alcock-Paczynski test and distant supernovae
Chris Blake, Karl Glazebrook, Tamara Davis +22
Astronomical observations suggest that today's Universe is dominated by a dark energy of unknown physical origin. One of the most notable consequences in many models is that dark e…
The WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey: mapping the distance-redshift relation with baryon acoustic oscillations
Chris Blake, Eyal Kazin, Florian Beutler +26
We present measurements of the baryon acoustic peak at redshifts z = 0.44, 0.6 and 0.73 in the galaxy correlation function of the final dataset of the WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey. W…
Galaxy-galaxy lensing constraints on the relation between baryons and dark matter in galaxies in the Red Sequence Cluster Survey 2
Edo van Uitert, Henk Hoekstra, Malin Velander +3
We present the results of a study of weak gravitational lensing by galaxies using imaging data that were obtained as part of the second Red Sequence Cluster Survey (RCS2). In order…
The WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey: High Resolution Kinematics of Luminous Star-Forming Galaxies
Emily Wisnioski, Karl Glazebrook, Chris Blake +24
We report evidence of ordered orbital motion in luminous star-forming galaxies at z~1.3. We present integral field spectroscopy (IFS) observations, performed with the OH Suppressin…
Scaling Relations and Overabundance of Massive Clusters at z>~1 from Weak-Lensing Studies with HST
M. J. Jee, K. S. Dawson, H. Hoekstra +22
We present weak gravitational lensing analysis of 22 high-redshift (z >~1) clusters based on Hubble Space Telescope images. Most clusters in our sample provide significant lensing…
The Hubble Space Telescope Cluster Supernova Survey: V. Improving the Dark Energy Constraints Above z>1 and Building an Early-Type-Hosted Supernova Sample
N. Suzuki, D. Rubin, C. Lidman +62
We present ACS, NICMOS, and Keck AO-assisted photometry of 20 Type Ia supernovae SNe Ia from the HST Cluster Supernova Survey. The SNe Ia were discovered over the redshift interval…
The WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey: testing the cosmological model with baryon acoustic oscillations at z=0.6
Chris Blake, Tamara Davis, Gregory Poole +23
We measure the imprint of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAOs) in the galaxy clustering pattern at the highest redshift achieved to date, z=0.6, using the distribution of N=132,509…
The WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey: the growth rate of cosmic structure since redshift z=0.9
