We perform a tomographic analysis of structure growth and expansion rate from the anisotropic galaxy clustering of the combined sample of Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) Data Release 12, which covers the redshift range of 0.2 z 0.75. In order to extract the redshift information of anisotropic galaxy clustering, we analyse this data

We present measurements of galaxy clustering from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), which is part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III). These use the Data Release 9 (DR9) CMASS sample, which contains 264 283 massive galaxies covering 3275 square degrees with an effective redshift z = 0.57 and redshift range 0.43 z 0.7

We investigate the evolutionary connection between local IR-bright galaxies ($\log L_{\rm IR}\ge 11.4\,L_\odot$) and quasars. We use high angular resolution ($\sim$ 0.3-0.4 arcsec $\sim$ few hundred parsecs) $8-13\,\mu$m ground-based spectroscopy to disentangle the AGN mid-IR properties from those of star formation. The comparison between the

Photopolarimetric observations in UBVRI bands and near-infrared photometric observations of the low polarization quasar 3C 273 obtained between February 1989 and May 1990 are presented. The degree of polarization remained low (below 1 percent) for most of the observing period and generally decreased toward shorter wavelengths. In early 1990

A large ground-based spectroscopic and photometric programme has accompanied the asteroseismological photometric observations of the satellite CoRoT since its launch. These simultaneously complementary observations allow to better characterize the targets, identify the modes and recover many other interesting physical information. In this paper

The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE), part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III, explores the stellar populations of the Milky Way using the Sloan 2.5-m telescope linked to a high resolution (R ∼ 22,500), near-infrared (1.51–1.70 μm) spectrograph with 300 optical fibers.
