Re-examination of Large Scale Structure and Cosmic Flows

Comparison of galaxy flows with those predicted from the local galaxy distribution ended as an active field after two analyses came to vastly different conclusions 25 years ago, bu…
On the recovery of Local Group motion from galaxy redshift surveys
Adi Nusser, Marc Davis, Enzo Branchini
There is a discrepancy between the measured motion of the Local Group of galaxies (LG) with respect to the CMB and the linear theory prediction based on the gr…
Addressing Decadal Survey Science through Community Access to Highly Multiplexed Spectroscopy with BigBOSS on the KPNO Mayall Telescope

This document summarizes the results of a community-based discussion of the potential science impact of the Mayall+BigBOSS highly multiplexed multi-object spectroscopic capability.…
The DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey: Clustering Dependence on Galaxy Stellar Mass and Star Formation Rate at z~1
Nick Mostek, Alison L. Coil, Michael C. Cooper +3
We present DEEP2 galaxy clustering measurements at z~1 as a function of stellar mass, star formation rate (SFR), and specific SFR (sSFR). We find a strong positive correlation betw…
The DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey: Design, Observations, Data Reduction, and Redshifts
Jeffrey A. Newman, Michael C. Cooper, Marc Davis +31
We describe the design and data sample from the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey, the densest and largest precision-redshift survey of galaxies at z ~ 1 completed to date. The survey h…
The DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey: The Voronoi-Delaunay Method catalog of galaxy groups

We present a public catalog of galaxy groups constructed from the spectroscopic sample of galaxies in the fourth data release from the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey, including the E…
The Advanced Camera for Surveys General Catalog: Structural Parameters for Approximately Half a Million Galaxies
Roger L. Griffith, Michael C. Cooper, Jeffrey A. Newman +18
We present the Advanced Camera for Surveys General Catalog (ACS-GC), a photometric and morphological database using publicly available data obtained with the Advanced Camera for Su…
Dependence of Galaxy Quenching on Halo Mass and Distance from its Centre
Joanna Woo, Avishai Dekel, S. M. Faber +12
We study the dependence of star-formation quenching on galaxy mass and environment, in the SDSS (z~0.1) and the AEGIS (z~1). It is crucial that we define quenching by low star-form…
The velocity field of 2MRS Ks=11.75 galaxies: constraints on beta and bulk flow from the luminosity function
Enzo Branchini, Marc Davis, Adi Nusser
Using the nearly full sky Ks=11.75 2MASS Redshift Survey [2MRS]of ~45,000 galaxies we reconstruct the underlying peculiar velocity field and constrain the cosmological bulk flow wi…
Gaia: a Window to Large Scale Flows
Adi Nusser, Enzo Branchini, Marc Davis
Using redshifts as a proxy for galaxy distances, estimates of the 2D transverse peculiar velocities of distant galaxies could be obtained from future measurements of proper motions…
The DEEP3 Galaxy Redshift Survey: The Impact of Environment on the Size Evolution of Massive Early-type Galaxies at Intermediate Redshift
Michael C. Cooper, Roger L. Griffith, Jeffrey A. Newman +10
Using data drawn from the DEEP2 and DEEP3 Galaxy Redshift Surveys, we investigate the relationship between the environment and the structure of galaxies residing on the red sequenc…
A new method for the determination of the growth rate from galaxy redshift surveys
Adi Nusser, Enzo Branchini, Marc Davis
Given a redshift survey of galaxies with measurements of apparent magnitudes, we present a novel method for measuring the growth rate of cosmological linear perturbations. W…
Autocorrelations of stellar light and mass at z~0 and ~1: From SDSS to DEEP2
Cheng Li, Simon D. M. White, Yanmei Chen +8
We present measurements of projected autocorrelation functions w_p(r_p) for the stellar mass of galaxies and for their light in the U, B and V bands, using data from the third data…
Extragalactic background light inferred from AEGIS galaxy SED-type fractions

The extragalactic background light (EBL) is of fundamental importance both for understanding the entire process of galaxy evolution and for gamma-ray astronomy. However, the overal…
Bulk flows from galaxy luminosities: application to 2MASS redshift survey and forecast for next-generation datasets
Adi Nusser, Enzo Branchini, Marc Davis
We present a simple method for measuring cosmological bulk flows from large redshift surveys, based on the apparent dimming or brightening of galaxies due to their peculiar motion.…
