The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) surveyed 14,555 square degrees, and delivered over a trillion pixels of imaging data. We present a study of galaxy clustering using 900,000 luminous galaxies with photometric redshifts, spanning between $z=0.45$ and $z=0.65$, constructed from the SDSS using methods described in Ross et al. (2011). This data-set spans 11,000 square degrees and probes a volume of $3h^{-3} \rm{Gpc}^3$, making it the largest volume ever used for galaxy clustering measurements. We present a novel treatment of the observational systematics and its applications to the clustering signals from the data set. In this paper, we measure the angular clustering using an optimal quadratic estimator at 4 redshift slices with an accuracy of ~15% with bin size of delta_l = 10 on scales of the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) (at l~40-400). We derive cosmological constraints using the full-shape of the power-spectra. For a flat Lambda CDM model, when combined with Cosmic Microwave Background Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe 7 (WMAP7) and H_0 constraints from 600 Cepheids observed by HST, we find Ω_Λ= 0.73 +/- 0.019 and H_0 to be 70.5 +/- 1.6 km/s/Mpc. For an open Lambda CDM model, when combined with WMAP7 + HST, we find $Ω_K = 0.0035 +/- 0.0054, improved over WMAP7+HST alone by 40%. For a wCDM model, when combined with WMAP7+HST+SN, we find w = -1.071 +/- 0.078, and H_0 to be 71.3 +/- 1.7 km/s/Mpc, which is competitive with the latest large scale structure constraints from large spectroscopic surveys such as SDSS Data Release 7 (DR7) (Reid et al. 2010, Percival et al. 2010, Montesano et al. 2011) and WiggleZ (Blake et al. 2011). The SDSS-III Data Release 8 (SDSS-III DR8) Angular Clustering Data allows a wide range of investigations into the cosmological model, cosmic expansion (via BAO), Gaussianity of initial conditions and neutrino masses.

Four New Observational $H(z)$ Data From Luminous Red Galaxies of Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release Seven
采用微分年龄法,利用Sloan数字巡天数据7(SDSS DR 7)中包含红移$0<z<0.4$的17832个亮红星系(LRGs)测量哈勃参数。利用全谱拟合软件UlySS,用单星族(SSP)模型对这些光谱进行了约简,并得到了我们所选样本的最佳年龄信息。随着年龄-红移关系的减小,获得了4个新的观测$H(z)$数据点,它们分别是$H(z)=69.0\pm19.6$ km s $^{-1}$ Mpc $^{-1}$ at $z=0.07$,$H(z)=68.6\pm26.2$ km s $^{-1}$ Mpc $^{-1}$ at $z=0.12$,$H(z)$ = $72.9\pm29.6$ km s $^{-1}$ Mpc $^{-1}$ at $z=0.2$和$H(z)$ = $88.8\pm36.6$ km s $^{-1}$ Mpc $^{-1}$ at $z=0.28$.结合其他21个OHD数据点,给出了平面和非平面$Λ$ CDM模型的约束性能。

Modeling the Anisotropic Two-Point Galaxy Correlation Function on Small Scales and Improved Measurements of H(z), D_A(z), and f(z)sigma_8(z) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR7 Luminous Red Galaxies
A Robust Distance Measurement and Dark Energy Constraints from the Spherically-Averaged Correlation Function of Sloan Digital Sky Survey Luminous Red Galaxies
We measure the effective distance to z=0.35, D_V(0.35), from the overall shape of the spherically-averaged two-point correlation function of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 (DR7) luminous red galaxy (LRG) sample. We find D_V(0.35)=1428_{-73}^{+74} without assuming a dark energy model or a flat Universe. We find that the derived measurement of r_s(z_d)/D_V(0.35)=0.1143 \pm 0.0030 (the ratio of the sound horizon at the drag epoch to the effective distance to z=0.35) is more tightly constrained and more robust with respect to possible systematic effects. It is also nearly uncor…
The age-redshift relation for Luminous Red Galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
我们对从斯隆数字巡天(SDSS)数据发布7(DR 7)中选择的17,852个静态发光红星系(LRGs)进行了详细的分析,其红移范围为0.0 < z < 0.4。这些星系被共同加入到四个速度色散和光度相等的箱中,以产生高信噪比的光谱(> 100 A ^{-1}),从而有助于标准利克吸收线指数的精确测量。特别是,我们已经仔细地校正和校准这些指数到常用的舔/IDS系统,从而使我们能够比较这些数据与其他测量文献中,并获得现实的年龄,金属丰度([Z/H])和α-元素丰度比([α/Fe])为这些星系使用简单的恒星星族(SSP)模型。我们使用这些数据来研究这些星系参数与红移的关系,并发现很少的证据,在金属丰度或α-元素(特别是对于我们的中间质量的样品)的演变。这表明我们的子样本与纯被动演化(即没有化学演化)一致,并代表了在此红移范围内的均匀种群。我们还提出了这些LRGs的年龄红移关系,并清楚地看到他们的年龄与红移(5陀螺在这里研究的红移范围),这是完全一致的宇宙学回望时间在一个和谐的Lambda CDM宇宙的减少。我们还看到,与质量较低的星系相比,我们最大的LRG样本是最年轻的。我们现在提供这些数据,以帮助未来的宇宙学和星系演化的LRGs的研究,并在本文的附录中提供所需的方法和信息,以校准SDSS光谱到舔/IDS系统。
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has surveyed 14,555 square degrees of the sky, and delivered over a trillion pixels of imaging data. We present the large-scale clustering of 1.6 million quasars between z = 0.5 and z = 2.5 that have been classified from this imaging, representing the highest density of quasars ever studied for clustering measurements. This data set spans ~11,000 square degrees and probes a volume of 80(Gpc/h)^3. In principle, such a large volume and medium density of tracers should facilitate high-precision cosmological constraints. We measure the angular clustering of photometric…
Using Multipoles of the Correlation Function to Measure H(z), D_A(z), and β(z) from Sloan Digital Sky Survey Luminous Red Galaxies
Galaxy clustering data can be used to measure the cosmic expansion history H(z), the angular-diameter distance D_A(z), and the linear redshift-space distortion parameter beta(z). Here we present a method for using effective multipoles of the galaxy two-point correlation function (ξ_0(s), ξ_2(s), ξ}_4(s), and ξ_6(s), with s denoting the comoving separation) to measure H(z), D_A(z)$, and beta(z), and validate it using LasDamas mock galaxy catalogs. Our definition of effective multipoles explicitly incorporates the discreteness of measurements, and treats the measured correlation function and its…
Using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Legacy Survey, we study the alignment of luminous galaxies with spectroscopic data with the surrounding larger-scale structure as defined by galaxies with only photometric data. We find that galaxies from the red sequence have a statistically significant tendency for their apparent long axes to align parallel to the projected surrounding structure. Red galaxies more luminous than the median of our sample ($M_r < -21.78$) have a mean alignment angle $\langle Φ\rangle < 45^{\circ}$, indicating preferred parallel alignment, at a significance lev…
Photometric Redshifts and Systematic Variations in the SEDs of Luminous Red Galaxies from the SDSS DR7
利用贝叶斯模板拟合方法构造了一组光谱能量分布(SED)模板,用于估算亮红星系(LRGs)的光度红移。通过检查几个公开可用的SED集的颜色属性在0<z<0.5的红移范围内,并将它们与SDSS DR 7数据进行比较,我们发现,只有一些研究的SED近似匹配的颜色的LRG数据在整个红移范围内,但不是在定量水平所需的精确光度红移。我们产生新的SED叠加模型SED的复合恒星星族与爆发模型,允许两个组件被红的灰尘,以匹配的数据在五个不同的红移箱。我们选择了一组代表LRG数据在颜色空间中的五个红移箱,从而定义了我们的新的SED模板集光度红移估计。我们用新的模板集和我们的贝叶斯模板拟合光度红移代码(PhotoZ)得到的结果几乎是无偏的,σ(Δz)=0.027(包括离群值),和一小部分灾难性离群值(|z光-z光谱|/(1+z_spec)>0.15)。我们发现,最佳描述最亮星系(-24.5<M_R<-22.7)的模板确实在z=0.1到z=0.5之间变化,与恒星星族的老化一致。此外,我们发现,最佳描述z<0.1的星系的模板作为星系绝对星等的函数存在很大差异,这表明亮度较低的星系的恒星形成活动增加。我们的研究结果的基础上测光的SDSS LRG和我们的SED模板拟合的平均SDSS LRG光谱在不同的光度和红移箱的比较支持。
We present measurements of the redshift-dependent clustering of a DESI-like luminous red galaxy (LRG) sample selected from the Legacy Survey imaging dataset, and use the halo occupation distribution (HOD) framework to fit the clustering signal. The photometric LRG sample in this study contains 2.7 million objects over the redshift range of $0.4 < z < 0.9$ over 5655 deg$^2$. We have developed new photometric redshift (photo-$z$) estimates using the Legacy Survey DECam and WISE photometry, with $σ_{\mathrm{NMAD}} = 0.02$ precision for LRGs. We compute the projected correlation function using new…
A catalog of 132,684 clusters of galaxies identified from Sloan Digital Sky Survey III
利用Sloan Digital Sky Survey III(SDSS-III)的星系光度红移,我们识别出了132,684个红移范围为0.05<z <0.8. Monte Carlo simulations show that the false detection rate is less than 6% for the whole sample. The completeness is more than 95% for clusters with a mass of M_{200} >1.0*10^{14}的星系团,其中M_{\odot}的红移范围为0.05<z<0.42,而z>0.42的星系团由于成员星系的不完整性,其完整度和丰富度都比真实星系团小。我们将我们的样本与其他聚类样本进行比较,发现超过90%的先前已知的0.05<z<0.42的丰富聚类与我们样本中的聚类相匹配。更富的星系团往往有更明亮的最亮星系团(BCGs)。结合X射线和Planck数据,我们发现星系团的丰度与X射线光度、温度和Sunyaev-Zel'dovich测量密切相关。与SDSS亮红星系(LRG)样本的比较表明,25%的LRG是我们星系团的BCG,36%的LRG是星系团成员星系。在我们的聚类样本中,63%的r_{petro} <19.5的BCG满足SDSS LRG…

Golden gravitational lensing systems from the Sloan Lens ACS Survey. I. SDSS J1538+5817: one lens for two sources
我们提出了一个特殊的系统SDSS J1538+5817的透镜和测光研究,确定的SLACS调查。透镜是一个明亮的椭圆,红移z=0.143。使用两种不同的过滤器中的HST公共图像,两个背景源透镜到爱因斯坦环和双系统的存在被确定。我们在NOT进行的新光谱观测表明,这两个源位于相同的红移z=0.531。我们调查的总质量分布的透镜之间的1和4千秒差距的星系中心的参数和非参数透镜编码,描述的多个图像的点状物体。几种不同的透镜模型一致认为:(1)精确地再现了观察到的图像位置;(2)预测了一个接近轴对称的总质量分布,其中心和方向与光分布相同;(3)测量出在2.5 kpc的爱因斯坦半径内投影的总质量的值为8.11 x 10^{10} M_{Sun};(4)估计总质量密度分布比等温分布稍陡。将SDSS测光与CSP模型进行拟合,得出星系的恒星总质量为20 x 10^{10} M_{Sun},爱因斯坦半径内的总质量中投射光的比例为0.9。通过结合透镜和光度质量测量,我们区分透镜的质量含量的发光和暗物质组件。这种双组分模型,这是可行的,只有在特殊的系统,如SDSS J1538+5817,导致描述的星系暗物质晕的全球性质。将这些结果推广到更大数量的透镜将大大提高我们对LCDM情景中星系形成和演化过程的理解。
4098 galaxy clusters to z~0.6 in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey equatorial Stripe 82
我们提出了一个星表的4098光度选择的星系团的中值红移<z>= 0.32在270平方度的“条纹82”的区域的斯隆数字巡天(SDSS),覆盖天球赤道南银河帽(-50 < RA < 59度,|Dec| < 1.25度)。由于该区域的多历元SDSS覆盖,ugriz测光比主要SDSS足迹内的单次扫描深约2个星等。我们利用这一点来检测星系团使用的算法,搜索统计上显着overdensities的星系在Voronoi镶嵌的投影天空。32%的星团至少有一个成员的光谱红移来自现有的公开数据(SDSS Data Release 7,2SLAQ & WiggleZ),其余的具有稳健的光度红移(在样本的中值红移处精确到约5-9%)。成员星系红移的加权平均值提供了一个相当准确的星系团红移的估计。集群目录是公开的,可供社区利用,以追求一系列科学目标。除了星团目录,我们还提供了一个18,295 V<21等类星体视线的链接目录,其碰撞参量在<3 Mpc的星团核心内,这些星团核心选自Veron等人(2010)的目录。背景类星体覆盖0.25 < z < 2,其中与团簇相关的MgII吸收线系统在光谱中是可检测的。
We present the clustering analysis of photometric luminous red galaxies (LRGs) at a redshift range of $0.1\leq z \leq 1.05$ using $615,317$ photometric LRGs selected from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program covering $\sim124$ deg$^{2}$. Our sample covers a broad range of stellar masses and photometric redshifts and enables a halo occupation distribution analysis to study the redshift and stellar-mass dependence of dark halo properties of LRGs. We find a tight correlation between the characteristic dark halo mass to host central LRGs, $M_{\min}$, and the number density of LRGs indepe…
A Precision Multi-Band Two-Epoch Photometric Catalog of 44 Million Sources in the Northern Sky from Combination of the USNO-B and Sloan Digital Sky Survey Catalogs
下一代宽视场光学和无线电测量的一个关键科学驱动力是对时变天空的探索。这些调查将具有前所未有的敏感性和覆盖面,但在比调查寿命更长的时间尺度上发现变化的能力将受到限制。我们提出了一个新的精度,多历元的光度计目录,跨越60年,结合USNO-B和SDSS数据发布9目录。我们重新校准了原始USNO-B星表的测光,并创建了一个星表,其中包含位于北天DR 9足迹中的43,647,887个光学点源的两个测光时期,最多可达5个不同波段。重新校准的对象跨越的幅度范围14 < m < 20,是准确的$\approx$ 0.1马格。我们最大限度地减少虚假的对象和那些不准确的幅度通过识别和删除几个来源的系统误差在两个起源目录,重点虚假的对象,表现出大的视星等变化。在考虑了这些影响之后,我们发现$\approx$ 250,000颗恒星和类星体在USNO-B和SDSS DR 9时期之间显示出显著的(> 4 $σ$)亮度变化。讨论了该星表的历史价值及其在长时标、大振幅变星和类星体研究中的应用。
We apply clustering-based redshift inference to all extended sources from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey photometric catalogue, down to magnitude r = 22. We map the relationships between colours and redshift, without assumption of the sources' spectral energy distributions (SED). We identify and locate star-forming, quiescent galaxies, and AGN, as well as colour changes due to spectral features, such as the 4000 Å break, redshifting through specific filters. Our mapping is globally in good agreement with colour-redshift tracks computed with SED templates, but reveals informative differences, suc…
