The experimentally measured spectral density of current noise in Josephson junctions provides direct evidence for the existence of zero-point fluctuations...
Counts-in-cylinders in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey with Comparisons to N-body Simulations
Environmental statistics provide a necessary means of comparing the properties of galaxies in different environments, and a vital test of models of galaxy...
Covariance matrices for variance-suppressed simulations
Cosmological N-body simulations provide numerical predictions of the structure of the Universe against which to compare data from ongoing and future surveys...
Cross-correlation of SDSS DR7 Quasars and DR10 BOSS Galaxies: The Weak Luminosity Dependence of Quasar Clustering at z ~ 0.5
We present the measurement of the two-point cross-correlation function (CCF) of 8198 Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 quasars and 349,608 Data Release 10...
Cross-Correlation of Tenerife Data with Galactic Templates-Evidence for Spinning Dust?
The recent discovery of dust-correlated diffuse microwave emission has prompted two rival explanations: free-free emission and spinning dust grains. We present...
Recent observations of galaxy luminosity profiles and dark matter simulations find luminosity and mass distributions characterized by central cusps rather than...
Dark Energy Survey Deep Field photometric redshift performance and training incompleteness assessment
Context. The determination of accurate photometric redshifts (photo-zs) in large imaging galaxy surveys is key for cosmological studies. One of the most common...
Dark energy survey year 1 results: Constraining baryonic physics in the Universe
Measurements of large-scale structure are interpreted using theoretical predictions for the matter distribution, including potential impacts of baryonic physics...
Dark Energy Survey year 1 results: the relationship between mass and light around cosmic voids
What are the mass and galaxy profiles of cosmic voids? In this paper, we use two methods to extract voids in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year 1 redMaGiC galaxy...
