Our method combines simple theoretical results with a realistic characterization of the survey to dramatically reduce noise in the covariance matrix. For example, with an investment of only ≈1000 CPU hours we can produce a model covariance matrix with noise levels that would otherwise require ˜35 000 mocks. Non-Gaussian contributions to the model are calibrated against mock catalogues, after which the model covariance is found to be in impressive agreement with the mock covariance matrix. Since calibration of this method requires fewer mocks than brute force approaches, we believe that it could dramatically reduce the number of mocks required to analyse future surveys. %3 10.1093/mnras/stw1821 %= eprint: arXiv:1510.01740 %@ 0035-8711 %0 Journal Article %T Building a better understanding of the massive high-redshift BOSS CMASS galaxies as tools for cosmology %A Favole, Ginevra %A McBride, Cameron K. %A Eisenstein, Daniel J. %A Prada, Francisco %A Swanson, Molly E. %A Chuang, Chia-Hsun %A Schneider, Donald P. %+ AA(Instituto de Física Teórica, (UAM/CSIC), Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Cantoblanco, E-28049 Madrid, Spain; Campus of International Excellence UAM/CSIC, Cantoblanco, E-28049 Madrid, Spain g.favole@csic.es), AB(Center for Astrophysics, Harvard University, 60 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA), AC(Center for Astrophysics, Harvard University, 60 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA), AD(Instituto de Física Teórica, (UAM/CSIC), Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Cantoblanco, E-28049 Madrid, Spain; Campus of International Excellence UAM/CSIC, Cantoblanco, E-28049 Madrid, Spain; Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía (CSIC), Granada E-18008, Spain), AE(Center for Astrophysics, Harvard University, 60 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA), AF(Instituto de Física Teórica, (UAM/CSIC), Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Cantoblanco, E-28049 Madrid, Spain; Campus of International Excellence UAM/CSIC, Cantoblanco, E-28049 Madrid, Spain), AG(Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA; Institute for Gravitation and the Cosmos, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA) %B Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society %V 462 %D 2016 %8 October 1, 2016 %P 2218-2236 %K galaxies: distances and redshifts; galaxies: haloes; galaxies: statistics; cosmology: observations; cosmology: theory; large-scale structure of Universe %U http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016MNRAS.462.2218F %X We explore the massive bluer star-forming population of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) III/BOSS CMASS DR11 galaxies at z > 0.55 to quantify their differences, in terms of redshift-space distortions and large-scale bias, with respect to the luminous red galaxy sample. We perform a qualitative analysis to understand the significance of these differences and whether we can model and reproduce them in mock catalogues. Specifically, we measure galaxy clustering in CMASS on small and intermediate scales (0.1 ≲ r ≲ 50 h-1 Mpc) by computing the two-point correlation function - both projected and redshift-space - of these galaxies, and a new statistic, Σ(π), able to separate the coherent and dispersed redshift-space distortion contributions and the large-scale bias. We interpret our clustering measurements by adopting a Halo Occupation Distribution (HOD) scheme that maps them on to high-resolution N-body cosmological simulations to produce suitable mock galaxy catalogues. The traditional HOD prescription can be applied to the red and the blue samples, independently, but this approach is unphysical since it allows the same mock galaxies to be either red or blue. To overcome this ambiguity, we modify the standard formulation and infer the red and the blue models by splitting the full mock catalogue into two complementary and non-overlapping submocks. This separation is performed by constraining the HOD with the observed CMASS red and blue galaxy fractions and produces reliable and accurate models. %3 10.1093/mnras/stw1801 %= eprint: arXiv:1506.02044 %@ 0035-8711 %0 Journal Article %T Improving initial conditions for cosmological N-body simulations %A Garrison, Lehman H. %A Eisenstein, Daniel J. %A Ferrer, Douglas %A Metchnik, Marc V. %A Pinto, Philip A. %+ AA(Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden St., Cambridge, MA 02138, USA lgarrison@cfa.harvard.edu), AB(Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden St., Cambridge, MA 02138, USA), AC(Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden St., Cambridge, MA 02138, USA), AD(Steward Observatory, University of Arizona, 933 N.

Marcos et al. demonstrate that this is due to sparse sampling of modes near kNyquist and that the often-assumed continuum growing modes are not proper growing modes of the particle system. We develop initial conditions (ICs) that respect the particle linear theory growing modes and then rescale the mode amplitudes to account for growth suppression. These ICs also allow us to take advantage of our very accurate N-body code ABACUS to implement second-order Lagrangian perturbation theory (2LPT) in configuration space. The combination of 2LPT and rescaling improves the accuracy of the late-time power spectra, halo mass functions, and halo clustering. In particular, we achieve 1 per cent accuracy in the power spectrum down to kNyquist, versus kNyquist/4 without rescaling or kNyquist/13 without 2LPT, relative to an oversampled reference simulation. We anticipate that our 2LPT will be useful for large simulations where fast Fourier transforms are expensive and that rescaling will be useful for suites of medium-resolution simulations used in cosmic emulators and galaxy survey mock catalogues.

We analyse the broad-range shape of the monopole and quadrupole correlation functions of the BOSS Data Release 12 (DR12) CMASS galaxy sample, at the effective redshift z = 0.59, to obtain constraints on the Hubble expansion rate H(z), the angular- diameter distance DA(z), the normalized growth rate f(z)σ8(z), and the physical matter density Ωm h2. We obtain robust measurements by including a polynomial as the model for the systematic errors, and find it works very well against the systematic effects, e.g. ones induced by stars and seeing. We provide accurate measurements {DA(0.59)rs,fid/rs, H(0.59)rs/rs,fid, f(0.59)σ8(0.59), Ωm h2} = {1427 ± 26 Mpc, 97.3 ± 3.3 km s-1 Mpc-1, 0.488 ± 0.060, 0.135 ± 0.016}, where rs is the comoving sound horizon at the drag epoch and rs,fid = 147.66 Mpc is the sound scale of the fiducial cosmology used in this study. The parameters which are not well constrained by our galaxy clustering analysis are marginalized over with wide flat priors. Since no priors from other data sets, e.g. cosmic microwave background (CMB), are adopted and no dark energy models are assumed, our results from BOSS CMASS galaxy clustering alone may be combined with other data sets, i.e. CMB, SNe, lensing or other galaxy clustering data to constrain the parameters of a given cosmological model. The uncertainty on the dark energy equation of state parameter, w, from CMB+CMASS is about 8 per cent. The uncertainty on the curvature fraction, Ωk, is 0.3 per cent. We do not find deviation from flat ΛCDM. %3 10.1093/mnras/stw1535 %= eprint: arXiv:1312.4889 %@ 0035-8711 %0 Journal Article %T Exploring photometric redshifts as an optimization problem: an ensemble MCMC and simulated annealing-driven template-fitting approach %A Speagle, Joshua S. %A Capak, Peter L. %A Eisenstein, Daniel J. %A Masters, Daniel C. %A Steinhardt, Charles L. %+ AA(Kavli IPMU (WPI), UTIAS, The University of Tokyo, Kashiwanoha 5-1-5, Kashiwa, Chiba 277-8583, Japan; Harvard University Department of Astronomy, 60 Garden St, MS 46, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA; Infrared Processing and Analysis Center, California Institute of Technology, MC 100-22, 770 South Wilson Ave, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA jspeagle@cfa.harvard.edu), AB(Infrared Processing and Analysis Center, California Institute of Technology, MC 100-22, 770 South Wilson Ave, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA; Spitzer Science Center, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA), AC(Harvard University Department of Astronomy, 60 Garden St, MS 46, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA), AD(Infrared Processing and Analysis Center, California Institute of Technology, MC 100-22, 770 South Wilson Ave, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA), AE(Infrared Processing and Analysis Center, California Institute of Technology, MC 100-22, 770 South Wilson Ave, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA) %B Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society %V 461 %D 2016 %8 October 1, 2016 %P 3432-3442 %K methods: statistical; techniques: photometric; galaxies: distances and redshifts %U http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016MNRAS.461.3432S %X Using a 4D grid of ˜2 million model parameters (Δz = 0.005) adapted from Cosmological Origins Survey photometric redshift (photo-z) searches, we investigate the general properties of template-based photo-z likelihood surfaces.

We combine ensemble Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling with simulated annealing to robustly and efficiently explore these surfaces in approximately constant time. Using a mock catalogue of 384 662 objects, we show our approach samples ˜40 times more efficiently compared to a `brute-force' counterpart while maintaining similar levels of accuracy.

With current data, we explore the halo-galaxy connection by measuring three clustering properties of g-selected ELGs as matter tracers in the redshift range 0.6 < z < 1: (i) the redshift-space two-point correlation function using spectroscopic redshifts from the BOSS ELG sample and VIPERS; (ii) the angular two-point correlation function on the footprint of the CFHT-LS; (iii) the galaxy-galaxy lensing signal around the ELGs using the CFHTLenS. We interpret these observations by mapping them on to the latest high-resolution MultiDark Planck N-body simulation, using a novel (Sub)Halo-Abundance Matching technique that accounts for the ELG incompleteness. ELGs at z ˜ 0.8 live in haloes of (1 ± 0.5) × 1012 h-1M and 22.5 ± 2.5 per cent of them are satellites belonging to a larger halo.

The method, which follows an unbinned maximum likelihood approach, allows the deconvolution of the intrinsic CMASS colour-colour-magnitude distributions from photometric errors and selection effects. This procedure requires modelling the covariance matrix for the i-band magnitude, g - r colour and r - i colour using Stripe 82 multi-epoch data. Our results indicate that the error-deconvolved intrinsic RS distribution is consistent, within the photometric uncertainties, with a single point (<0.05 mag) in the colour-colour plane at fixed magnitude, for a narrow redshift slice. We have computed the high-mass end (0.55Mi ≲ -22) of the 0.55i-band RS luminosity function (RS LF) in several redshift slices within the redshift range 0.52 < z < 0.63. In this narrow redshift range, the evolution of the RS LF is consistent, within the uncertainties in the modelling, with a passively evolving model with Φ* = (7.248 ± 0.204) × 10- 4 Mpc-3 mag-1, fading at a rate of 1.5 ± 0.4 mag per unit redshift. We report RS completeness as a function of magnitude and redshift in the CMASS sample, which will facilitate a variety of galaxy-evolution and clustering studies using BOSS. Our forward-modelling method lays the foundations for future studies using other dark-energy surveys like the Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey or the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, which are affected by the same type of photometric blurring/selection effects. %3 10.1093/mnras/stw1352 %@ 0035-8711 %0 Journal Article %T Quantifying the colour-dependent stochasticity of large-scale structure %A Patej, Anna %A Eisenstein, Daniel %+ AA(Department of Physics, Harvard University, 17 Oxford St, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA; apatej@physics.harvard.edu), AB(Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden St, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA) %B Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society %V 460 %D 2016 %8 August 1, 2016 %P 1310-1317 %K galaxies: statistics; large-scale structure of Universe %U http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016MNRAS.460.1310P %X We address the question of whether massive red and blue galaxies trace the same large-scale structure at z ˜ 0.6 using the CMASS sample of galaxies from Data Release 12 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III.

We find that on these intermediate scales, the correlation coefficient is consistent with 1; in particular, we find r > 0.95 taking into account both statistics and r > 0.974 using the favoured statistic. %3 10.1093/mnras/stw635 %= eprint: arXiv:1510.01737 %@ 0035-8711 %0 Journal Article %T ASPCAP: The APOGEE Stellar Parameter and Chemical Abundances Pipeline %A García Pérez, Ana E. %A Allende Prieto, Carlos %A Holtzman, Jon A. %A Shetrone, Matthew %A Mészáros, Szabolcs %A Bizyaev, Dmitry %A Carrera, Ricardo %A Cunha, Katia %A García-Hernández, D.

The APOGEE Stellar Parameter and Chemical Abundances Pipeline (ASPCAP) is the software developed for the automated analysis of these spectra. ASPCAP determines atmospheric parameters and chemical abundances from observed spectra by comparing observed spectra to libraries of theoretical spectra, using χ2 minimization in a multidimensional parameter space. The package consists of a fortran90 code that does the actual minimization and a wrapper IDL code for book-keeping and data handling. This paper explains in detail the ASPCAP components and functionality, and presents results from a number of tests designed to check its performance. ASPCAP provides stellar effective temperatures, surface gravities, and metallicities precise to 2%, 0.1 dex, and 0.05 dex, respectively, for most APOGEE stars, which are predominantly giants. It also provides abundances for up to 15 chemical elements with various levels of precision, typically under 0.1 dex. The final data release (DR12) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III contains an APOGEE database of more than 150,000 stars. ASPCAP development continues in the SDSS-IV APOGEE-2 survey. %3 10.3847/0004-6256/151/6/144 %= eprint: arXiv:1510.07635 %@ 0004-6256 %0 Journal Article %T Signatures of the Primordial Universe from Its Emptiness: Measurement of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations from Minima of the Density Field %A Kitaura, Francisco-Shu %A Chuang, Chia-Hsun %A Liang, Yu %A Zhao, Cheng %A Tao, Charling %A Rodríguez-Torres, Sergio %A Eisenstein, Daniel J. %A Gil-Marín, Héctor %A Kneib, Jean-Paul %A McBride, Cameron %A Percival, Will J. %A Ross, Ashley J. %A Sánchez, Ariel G. %A Tinker, Jeremy %A Tojeiro, Rita %A Vargas-Magana, Mariana %A Zhao, Gong-Bo %+ AA(Leibniz-Institut für Astrophysik Potsdam (AIP), An der Sternwarte 16, D-14482 Potsdam, Germany), AB(Leibniz-Institut für Astrophysik Potsdam (AIP), An der Sternwarte 16, D-14482 Potsdam, Germany), AC(Tsinghua Center of Astrophysics and Department of Physics, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China), AD(Tsinghua Center of Astrophysics and Department of Physics, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China), AE(Tsinghua Center of Astrophysics and Department of Physics, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China; Aix-Marseille Université, CNRS/IN2P3, CPPM UMR 7346, 13288 Marseille, France), AF(Instituto de Física Teórica, (UAM/CSIC), Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, Cantoblanco, E-28049 Madrid, Spain; Campus of International Excellence UAM+CSIC, Cantoblanco, E-28049 Madrid, Spain; Departamento de Fısica Teórica M8, Universidad Autonoma de Madrid (UAM), Cantoblanco, E-28049, Madrid, Spain), AG(Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138, USA), AH(Sorbonne Universits, Institut Lagrange de Paris (ILP), 98 bis Boulevard Arago, 75014 Paris, France; Laboratoire de Physique Nuclaire et de Hautes Energies, Université Pierre et Marie Curie, 4 Place Jussieu, Tour 22, 1er tage, 75005 Paris, France), AI(Laboratoire dAstrophysique, Ecole Polytechnique Fedérale de Lausanne, CH-1015 Lausanne, Switzerland; Aix Marseille Université, CNRS, LAM (Laboratoire dAstrophysique de Marseille) UMR 7326, F-13388, Marseille, France), AJ(Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138, USA), AK(Institute of Cosmology & Gravitation, University of Portsmouth, Dennis Sciama Building, Portsmouth PO1 3FX, United Kingdom), AL(Institute of Cosmology & Gravitation, University of Portsmouth, Dennis Sciama Building, Portsmouth PO1 3FX, United Kingdom; Center for Cosmology and AstroParticle Physics, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43210, USA), AM(Max-Planck-Institut für Extraterrestrische Physik, Postfach 1312, Giessenbachstraße, 85741 Garching, Germany), AN(Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics, New York University, 4 Washington Place, New York, New York 10003, USA), AO(University of St. Andrews, North Haugh, St. Andrews Fife, KY16 9SS, United Kingdom), AP(Instituto de Física, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Apartado Postal 20-364, México), AQ(National Astronomy Observatories, Chinese Academy of Science, Beijing, 100012, People's Republic of China; Institute of Cosmology & Gravitation, University of Portsmouth, Dennis Sciama Building, Portsmouth PO1 3FX, United Kingdom) %B Physical Review Letters %V 116 %D 2016 %8 April 1, 2016 %U http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016PhRvL.116q1301K %X Sound waves from the primordial fluctuations of the Universe imprinted in the large-scale structure, called baryon acoustic oscillations (BAOs), can be used as standard rulers to measure the scale of the Universe. These oscillations have already been detected in the distribution of galaxies. Here we propose to measure BAOs from the troughs (minima) of the density field. Based on two sets of accurate mock halo catalogues with and without BAOs in the seed initial conditions, we demonstrate that the BAO signal cannot be obtained from the clustering of classical disjoint voids, but it is clearly detected from overlapping voids. The latter represent an estimate of all troughs of the density field. We compute them from the empty circumsphere centers constrained by tetrahedra of galaxies using Delaunay triangulation. Our theoretical models based on an unprecedented large set of detailed simulated void catalogues are remarkably well confirmed by observational data. We use the largest recently publicly available sample of luminous red galaxies from SDSS-III BOSS DR11 to unveil for the first time a >3 σ BAO detection from voids in observations. Since voids are nearly isotropically expanding regions, their centers represent the most quiet places in the Universe, keeping in mind the cosmos origin and providing a new promising window in the analysis of the cosmological large-scale structure from galaxy surveys. %3 10.1103/PhysRevLett.116.171301 %= eprint: arXiv:1511.04405 %@ 0031-9007 %0 Journal Article %T Large-scale clustering of Lyman α emission intensity from SDSS/BOSS %A Croft, Rupert A.

We use a million spectra targeting luminous red galaxies at z < 0.8, after subtracting a best-fitting model galaxy spectrum from each one, as an estimate of the high-redshift Ly α surface brightness. The quasar-Ly α emission cross-correlation is detected on scales 1 ˜ 15 h-1 Mpc, with shape consistent with a ΛCDM model with Ω _m =0.30^{+0.10}_{-0.07}. The predicted amplitude of this cross-correlation is proportional to the product of the mean Ly α surface brightness, <μα>, the amplitude of mass fluctuations and the quasar and Ly α emission bias factors. We infer <μα> (bα/3) = (3.9 ± 0.9) × 10-21 erg s-1 cm-2 Å-1 arcsec-2, where bα is the Ly α emission bias. If star-forming galaxies dominate this emission, we find ρSFR = (0.28 ± 0.07)(3/bα) yr-1 Mpc-3. For bα = 3, this value is ˜30 times larger than previous estimates from individually detected Ly α emitters, but consistent with the total ρSFR derived from dust-corrected, continuum UV galaxy surveys, if most of the Ly α photons from these galaxies avoid dust absorption and are reemitted after diffusing in large gas haloes. Heating of intergalactic gas by He II photoionization from quasar radiation or jets may alternatively explain the detected correlation, and cooling radiation from gas in galactic haloes may also contribute. We also detect redshift space anisotropy of the quasar-Ly α emission cross-correlation, finding evidence at the 3.0σ level that it is radially elongated, which may be explained by radiative-transfer effects. Our measurements represent the first application of the intensity mapping technique to optical observations. %3 10.1093/mnras/stw204 %= eprint: arXiv:1504.04088 %@ 0035-8711 %0 Journal Article %T The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: baryon acoustic oscillations in the correlation function of LOWZ and CMASS galaxies in Data Release 12 %A Cuesta, Antonio J. %A Vargas-Magaña, Mariana %A Beutler, Florian %A Bolton, Adam S. %A Brownstein, Joel R. %A Eisenstein, Daniel J. %A Gil-Marín, Héctor %A Ho, Shirley %A McBride, Cameron K. %A Maraston, Claudia %A Padmanabhan, Nikhil %A Percival, Will J. %A Reid, Beth A. %A Ross, Ashley J. %A Ross, Nicholas P. %A Sánchez, Ariel G. %A Schlegel, David J. %A Schneider, Donald P. %A Thomas, Daniel %A Tinker, Jeremy %A Tojeiro, Rita %A Verde, Licia %A White, Martin %+ AA(Institut de Ciències del Cosmos (ICCUB), Universitat de Barcelona (IEEC-UB), Martí i Franquès 1, E-08028 Barcelona, Spain ajcuesta@icc.ub.edu), AB(Instituto de Física, UNAM, PO Box 20-364, 01000 México D.F., Mexico;

The total volume probed is 14.5 Gpc3, a 10 per cent increment from Data Release 11. From an analysis of the spherically averaged correlation function, we infer a distance to z = 0.57 of D_V(z)r^fid_d/r_d = 2028± 21 Mpc and a distance to z = 0.32 of D_V(z)r^fid_d/r_d = 1264± 22 Mpc assuming a cosmology in which r^fid_d = 147.10 Mpc. From the anisotropic analysis, we find an angular diameter distance to z = 0.57 of D_A(z)r^fid_d/r_d = 1401± 21 Mpc and a distance to z = 0.32 of 981 ± 20 Mpc, a 1.5 and 2.0 per cent measurement, respectively.

Using the cross-correlation of AGNs with dense galaxy samples, we measure the clustering scale length and slope, as well as the bias, of AGNs selected at different wavelengths. Similar to previous studies, we find that X-ray and radio AGNs are more clustered than mid-IR-selected AGNs. We further compare the clustering of each AGN sample with matched galaxy samples designed to have the same stellar mass, star-formation rate (SFR), and redshift distributions as the AGN host galaxies and find no significant differences between their clustering properties. The observed differences in the clustering of AGNs selected at different wavelengths can therefore be explained by the clustering differences of their host populations, which have different distributions in both stellar mass and SFR. Selection biases inherent in AGN selection therefore determine the clustering of observed AGN samples. We further find no significant difference between the clustering of obscured and unobscured AGNs, using IRAC or Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer colors or X-ray hardness ratio. %3 10.3847/0004-637X/821/1/55 %= eprint: arXiv:1504.06284 %@ 0004-637X %0 Journal Article %T A simple analytic treatment of linear growth of structure with baryon acoustic oscillations %A Slepian, Zachary %A Eisenstein, Daniel J. %+ AA(Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA zslepian@fas.harvard.edu), AB(Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA) %B Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society %V 457 %D 2016 %8 March 1, 2016 %P 24-37 %K cosmology: theory; large-scale structure of Universe %U http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016MNRAS.457...24S %X In linear perturbation theory, all information about the growth of structure is contained in the Green's function, or equivalently, transfer function.

We obtain Teff, log g and mass for hydrogen atmosphere white dwarf stars (DAs) and helium atmosphere white dwarf stars (DBs), estimate the calcium/helium abundances for the white dwarf stars with metallic lines (DZs) and carbon/helium for carbon-dominated spectra (DQs). We found one central star of a planetary nebula, one ultracompact helium binary (AM CVn), one oxygen line-dominated white dwarf, 15 hot DO/PG1159s, 12 new cataclysmic variables, 36 magnetic white dwarf stars, 54 DQs, 115 helium-dominated white dwarfs, 148 white dwarf + main-sequence star binaries, 236 metal-polluted white dwarfs, 300 continuum spectra DCs, 230 hot subdwarfs, 2936 new hydrogen-dominated white dwarf stars, and 2675 cool hydrogen-dominated subdwarf stars. We calculate the mass distribution of all 5883 DAs with S/N ≥ 15 in DR12, including the ones in DR7 and DR10, with an average S/N = 26, corrected to the 3D convection scale, and also the distribution after correcting for the observed volume, using 1/Vmax. %3 10.1093/mnras/stv2526 %= eprint: arXiv:1510.08409 %@ 0035-8711 %0 Journal Article %T The SDSS-IV Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Overview and Early Data %A Dawson, Kyle S. %A Kneib, Jean-Paul %A Percival, Will J. %A Alam, Shadab %A Albareti, Franco D. %A Anderson, Scott F. %A Armengaud, Eric %A Aubourg, Éric %A Bailey, Stephen %A Bautista, Julian E. %A Berlind, Andreas A. %A Bershady, Matthew A. %A Beutler, Florian %A Bizyaev, Dmitry %A Blanton, Michael R. %A Blomqvist, Michael %A Bolton, Adam S. %A Bovy, Jo %A Brandt, W.

These observations will be conducted simultaneously with the Time Domain Spectroscopic Survey (TDSS) designed for variability studies and the Spectroscopic Identification of eROSITA Sources (SPIDERS) program designed for studies of X-ray sources. In particular, eBOSS will measure with percent-level precision the distance-redshift relation with baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the clustering of matter. eBOSS will use four different tracers of the underlying matter density field to vastly expand the volume covered by BOSS and map the large-scale-structures over the relatively unconstrained redshift range 0.6 < z < 2.2. Using more than 250,000 new, spectroscopically confirmed luminous red galaxies at a median redshift z = 0.72, we project that eBOSS will yield measurements of the angular diameter distance dA(z) to an accuracy of 1.2% and measurements of H(z) to 2.1% when combined with the z > 0.6 sample of BOSS galaxies. With ∼195,000 new emission line galaxy redshifts, we expect BAO measurements of dA(z) to an accuracy of 3.1% and H(z) to 4.7% at an effective redshift of z = 0.87. A sample of more than 500,000 spectroscopically confirmed quasars will provide the first BAO distance measurements over the redshift range 0.9 < z < 2.2, with expected precision of 2.8% and 4.2% on dA(z) and H(z), respectively. Finally, with 60,000 new quasars and re-observation of 60,000 BOSS quasars, we will obtain new Lyα forest measurements at redshifts z > 2.1 these new data will enhance the precision of dA(z) and H(z) at z > 2.1 by a factor of 1.44 relative to BOSS. Furthermore, eBOSS will provide improved tests of General Relativity on cosmological scales through redshift-space distortion measurements, improved tests for non-Gaussianity in the primordial density field, and new constraints on the summed mass of all neutrino species. Here, we provide an overview of the cosmological goals, spectroscopic target sample, demonstration of spectral quality from early data, and projected cosmological constraints from eBOSS. %3 10.3847/0004-6256/151/2/44 %= eprint: arXiv:1508.04473 %@ 0004-6256 %0 Journal Article %T Accelerating the two-point and three-point galaxy correlation functions using Fourier transforms %A Slepian, Zachary %A Eisenstein, Daniel J. %+ AA(Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA zslepian@cfa.harvard.edu), AB(Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA) %B Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society %V 455 %D 2016 %8 January 1, 2016 %P L31-L35 %K methods: data analysis; methods: statistical; large-scale structure of Universe %U http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016MNRAS.455L..31S %X Though Fourier transforms (FTs) are a common technique for finding correlation functions, they are not typically used in computations of the anisotropy of the two-point correlation function (2PCF) about the line of sight in wide-angle surveys because the line-of-sight direction is not constant on the Cartesian grid. Here we show how FTs can be used to compute the multipole moments of the anisotropic 2PCF. We also show how FTs can be used to accelerate the 3PCF algorithm of Slepian & Eisenstein. In both cases, these FT methods allow one to avoid the computational cost of pair counting, which scales as the square of the number density of objects in the survey. With the upcoming large data sets of Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, Euclid, and Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, FT techniques will therefore offer an important complement to simple pair or triplet counts. %3 10.1093/mnrasl/slv133 %= eprint: arXiv:1506.04746 %@ 0035-8711 %0 Journal Article %T SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey Data Release 12: galaxy target selection and large-scale structure catalogues %A Reid, Beth %A Ho, Shirley %A Padmanabhan, Nikhil %A Percival, Will J. %A Tinker, Jeremy %A Tojeiro, Rita %A White, Martin %A Eisenstein, Daniel J. %A Maraston, Claudia %A Ross, Ashley J. %A Sánchez, Ariel G. %A Schlegel, David %A Sheldon, Erin %A Strauss, Michael A. %A Thomas, Daniel %A Wake, David %A Beutler, Florian %A Bizyaev, Dmitry %A Bolton, Adam S. %A Brownstein, Joel R. %A Chuang, Chia-Hsun %A Dawson, Kyle %A Harding, Paul %A Kitaura, Francisco-Shu %A Leauthaud, Alexie %A Masters, Karen %A McBride, Cameron K. %A More, Surhud %A Olmstead, Matthew D. %A Oravetz, Daniel %A Nuza, Sebastián E. %A Pan, Kaike %A Parejko, John %A Pforr, Janine %A Prada, Francisco %A Rodríguez-Torres, Sergio %A Salazar-Albornoz, Salvador %A Samushia, Lado %A Schneider, Donald P. %A Scóccola, Claudia G. %A Simmons, Audrey %A Vargas-Magana, Mariana %+ AA(Department of Physics, Berkeley Center for Cosmological Physics, University of California, Berkeley, CA, 94720, USA; Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, 1 Cyclotron Road, Berkeley, CA 94720, USAwill.percival@port.ac.uk), AB(Department of Physics, Bruce and Astrid McWilliams Center for Cosmology, Carnegie Mellon University, 5000 Forbes Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15213, USA), AC(Yale Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics, Yale University, New Haven, CT 06520, USA), AD(Institute of Cosmology & Gravitation, Dennis Sciama Building, University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth PO1 3FX, UK), AE(Department of Physics, Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics, New York University, 4 Washington Place, New York, NY 10003, USA), AF(School of Physics and Astronomy, University of St Andrews, North Haugh, St Andrews KY16 9SS, UK), AG(Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, 1 Cyclotron Road, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA; Departments of Physics and Astronomy, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA), AH(Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden St, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA), AI(Institute of Cosmology & Gravitation, Dennis Sciama Building, University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth PO1 3FX, UK), AJ(Center for Cosmology and AstroParticle Physics, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210, USA), AK(Max-Planck-Institut für extraterrestrische Physik, ch 1312, Giessenbachstr., D-85741 Garching, Germany), AL(Department of Physics, Berkeley Center for Cosmological Physics, University of California, Berkeley, CA, 94720, USA; Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, 1 Cyclotron Road, Berkeley, CA 94720, USA), AM(Brookhaven National Laboratory, Bldg 510, Upton, New York, NY 11973, USA), AN(Department of Astrophysical Sciences, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA), AO(Institute of Cosmology & Gravitation, Dennis Sciama Building, University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth PO1 3FX, UK), AP(Department of Astronomy, University of Winsconsin-Madison, 475 N.

Key to analysing the clustering of these data to provide cosmological measurements is understanding the detailed properties of this sample. Potential issues include variations in the target catalogue caused by changes either in the targeting algorithm or properties of the data used, the pattern of spectroscopic observations, the spatial distribution of targets for which redshifts were not obtained, and variations in the target sky density due to observational systematics. We document here the target selection algorithms used to create the galaxy samples that comprise BOSS. We also present the algorithms used to create large-scale structure catalogues for the final Data Release (DR12) samples and the associated random catalogues that quantify the survey mask. The algorithms are an evolution of those used by the BOSS team to construct catalogues from earlier data, and have been designed to accurately quantify the galaxy sample. The code used, designated MKSAMPLE, is released with this paper. %3 10.1093/mnras/stv2382 %= eprint: arXiv:1509.06529 %@ 0035-8711 %0 Journal Article %T Modelling galactic conformity with the colour-halo age relation in the Illustris simulation %A Bray, Aaron D. %A Pillepich, Annalisa %A Sales, Laura V. %A Zhu, Emily %A Genel, Shy %A Rodriguez-Gomez, Vicente %A Torrey, Paul %A Nelson, Dylan %A Vogelsberger, Mark %A Springel, Volker %A Eisenstein, Daniel J. %A Hernquist, Lars %+ AA(Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA), AB(Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA), AC(University of California Riverside, 900 University Avenue, Riverside, CA 92521, USA), AD(Phillips Academy, 180 Main Street, Andover, MA 01810, USA; Harvard College, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA), AE(Columbia University, 116th Street and Broadway, New York, NY 10027, USA), AF(Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA), AG(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA; TAPIR, Mailcode 350-17, California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA 91125, USA), AH(Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA), AI(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 77 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02139, USA), AJ(Heidelberg Institute for Theoretical Studies, Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg 35, D-69118 Heidelberg, Germany; Zentrum fur Astronomie der Universitat Heidelberg, ARI, Monchhofstr. 12-14, D-69120 Heidelberg, Germany), AK(Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA), AL(Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA) %B Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society %V 455 %D 2016 %8 January 1, 2016 %P 185-198 %K galaxies: formation; galaxies: haloes; cosmology: theory; dark matter %U http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2016MNRAS.455..185B %X Comparisons between observational surveys and galaxy formation models find that dark matter haloes' mass can largely explain their galaxies' stellar mass. However, it remains uncertain whether additional environmental variables, known as assembly bias, are necessary to explain other galaxy properties. We use the Illustris simulation to investigate the role of assembly bias in producing galactic conformity by considering 18 000 galaxies with Mstellar > 2 × 109 M. We find a significant signal of galactic conformity: out to distances of about 10 Mpc, the mean red fraction of galaxies around redder galaxies is higher than around bluer galaxies at fixed stellar mass. Dark matter haloes exhibit an analogous conformity signal, in which the fraction of haloes formed at earlier times (old haloes) is higher around old haloes than around younger ones at fixed halo mass. A plausible interpretation of galactic conformity is the combination of the halo conformity signal with the galaxy colour-halo age relation: at fixed stellar mass, particularly towards the low-mass end, Illustris' galaxy colours correlate with halo age, with the reddest galaxies (often satellites) preferentially found in the oldest haloes. We explain the galactic conformity effect with a simple semi-empirical model, assigning stellar mass via halo mass (abundance matching) and galaxy colour via halo age (age matching). Regarding comparison to observations, we conclude that the adopted selection/isolation criteria, projection effects, and stacking techniques can have a significant impact on the measured amplitude of the conformity signal. %3 10.1093/mnras/stv2316 %= eprint: arXiv:1508.05393 %@ 0035-8711 %0 Journal Article %T Cosmological implications of baryon acoustic oscillation measurements %A Aubourg, Éric %A Bailey, Stephen %A Bautista, Julian E. %A Beutler, Florian %A Bhardwaj, Vaishali %A Bizyaev, Dmitry %A Blanton, Michael %A Blomqvist, Michael %A Bolton, Adam S. %A Bovy, Jo %A Brewington, Howard %A Brinkmann, J. %A Brownstein, Joel R. %A Burden, Angela %A Busca, Nicolás G. %A Carithers, William %A Chuang, Chia-Hsun %A Comparat, Johan %A Croft, Rupert A.

In particular, we take advantage of high-precision BAO measurements from galaxy clustering and the Lyman-α forest (LyaF) in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). Treating the BAO scale as an uncalibrated standard ruler, BAO data alone yield a high confidence detection of dark energy; in combination with the CMB angular acoustic scale they further imply a nearly flat universe. Adding the CMB-calibrated physical scale of the sound horizon, the combination of BAO and SN data into an "inverse distance ladder" yields a measurement of H0=67.3 ±1.1 km s-1 Mpc-1 , with 1.7% precision. This measurement assumes standard prerecombination physics but is insensitive to assumptions about dark energy or space curvature, so agreement with CMB-based estimates that assume a flat Λ CDM cosmology is an important corroboration of this minimal cosmological model. For constant dark energy (Λ ), our BAO +SN +CMB combination yields matter density Ωm=0.301 ±0.008 and curvature Ωk=-0.003 ±0.003 . When we allow more general forms of evolving dark energy, the BAO +SN +CMB parameter constraints are always consistent with flat Λ CDM values at ≈1 σ . While the overall χ2 of model fits is satisfactory, the LyaF BAO measurements are in moderate (2 - 2.5 σ ) tension with model predictions. Models with early dark energy that tracks the dominant energy component at high redshift remain consistent with our expansion history constraints, and they yield a higher H0 and lower matter clustering amplitude, improving agreement with some low redshift observations. Expansion history alone yields an upper limit on the summed mass of neutrino species, ∑mν<0.56 eV (95% confidence), improving to ∑mν<0.25 eV if we include the lensing signal in the Planck CMB power spectrum. In a flat Λ CDM model that allows extra relativistic species, our data combination yields Neff=3.43 ±0.26 ; while the LyaF BAO data prefer higher Neff when excluding galaxy BAO, the galaxy BAO alone favor Neff≈3 . When structure growth is extrapolated forward from the CMB to low redshift, standard dark energy models constrained by our data predict a level of matter clustering that is high compared to most, but not all, observational estimates. %3 10.1103/PhysRevD.92.123516 %= eprint: arXiv:1411.1074 %@ 0556-2821 %0 Journal Article %T Computing the three-point correlation function of galaxies in O(N^2) time %A Slepian, Zachary %A Eisenstein, Daniel J. %+ AA(Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA zslepian@cfa.harvard.edu), AB(Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA) %B Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society %V 454 %D 2015 %8 December 1, 2015 %P 4142-4158 %K methods: data analysis; cosmology: large-scale structure of Universe; methods: data analysis %U http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2015MNRAS.454.4142S %X We present an algorithm that computes the multipole coefficients of the galaxy three-point correlation function (3PCF) without explicitly considering triplets of galaxies. Rather, centring on each galaxy in the survey, it expands the radially binned density field in spherical harmonics and combines these to form the multipoles without ever requiring the relative angle between a pair about the central. This approach scales with number and number density in the same way as the two-point correlation function, allowing run-times that are comparable, and 500 times faster than a naive triplet count. It is exact in angle and easily handles edge correction. We demonstrate the algorithm on the LasDamas SDSS-DR7 mock catalogues, computing an edge corrected 3PCF out to 90 Mpc h-1 in under an hour on modest computing resources. We expect this algorithm will render it possible to obtain the large-scale 3PCF for upcoming surveys such as Euclid, Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), and Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument. %3 10.1093/mnras/stv2119 %= eprint: arXiv:1506.02040 %@ 0035-8711 %0 Journal Article %T Abundances, Stellar Parameters, and Spectra from the SDSS-III/APOGEE Survey %A Holtzman, Jon A. %A Shetrone, Matthew %A Johnson, Jennifer A. %A Allende Prieto, Carlos %A Anders, Friedrich %A Andrews, Brett %A Beers, Timothy C. %A Bizyaev, Dmitry %A Blanton, Michael R. %A Bovy, Jo %A Carrera, Ricardo %A Chojnowski, S.

We describe the survey data products that are publicly available, which include catalogs with radial velocity, stellar parameters, and 15 elemental abundances for over 150,000 stars, as well as the more than 500,000 spectra from which these quantities are derived. Calibration relations for the stellar parameters ({T}{eff}, {log} g, [M/H], [α/M]) and abundances (C, N, O, Na, Mg, Al, Si, S, K, Ca, Ti, V, Mn, Fe, Ni) are presented and discussed. The internal scatter of the abundances within clusters indicates that abundance precision is generally between 0.05 and 0.09 dex across a broad temperature range; it is smaller for some elemental abundances within more limited ranges and at high signal-to-noise ratio. We assess the accuracy of the abundances using comparison of mean cluster metallicities with literature values, APOGEE observations of the solar spectrum and of Arcturus, comparison of individual star abundances with other measurements, and consideration of the locus of derived parameters and abundances of the entire sample, and find that it is challenging to determine the absolute abundance scale; external accuracy may be good to 0.1-0.2 dex. Uncertainties may be larger at cooler temperatures ({T}{eff} \lt 4000 {{K}}). Access to the public data release and data products is described, and some guidance for using the data products is provided. %3 10.1088/0004-6256/150/5/148 %= eprint: arXiv:1501.04110 %@ 0004-6256 %0 Journal Article %T PRIMUS: The Effect of Physical Scale on the Luminosity Dependence of Galaxy Clustering via Cross-correlations %A Bray, Aaron D. %A Eisenstein, Daniel J. %A Skibba, Ramin A. %A Blanton, Michael R. %A Coil, Alison L. %A Cool, Richard J. %A Mendez, Alexander J. %A Moustakas, John %A Zhu, Guangtun %+ AA(Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden St., Cambridge, MA 02138, USA abray@cfa.harvard.edu), AB(Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden St., Cambridge, MA 02138, USA), AC(Department of Physics, Center for Astrophysics and Space Sciences, University of California, 9500 Gilman Dr., La Jolla, San Diego, CA 92093, USA), AD(Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics, Department of Physics, New York University, 4 Washington Place, New York, NY 10003, USA), AE(Department of Physics, Center for Astrophysics and Space Sciences, University of California, 9500 Gilman Dr., La Jolla, San Diego, CA 92093, USA 0000-0002-2583-5894), AF(MMT Observatory, 1540 E Second Street, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA), AG(Department of Physics & Astronomy, Johns Hopkins University, 3400 N.

We measure the real-space cross-correlations between 62,106 primary galaxies with PRIMUS redshifts and a tracer population of ∼545,000 photometric galaxies over redshifts from z = 0.2 to z = 1. We separately fit a power-law model in redshift and luminosity to each of three independent color-selected samples of galaxies. We report clustering amplitudes at fiducial values of z = 0.5 and L=1.5{L}*. The clustering of the red galaxies is ∼ 3 times as strong as that of the blue galaxies and ∼ 1.5 as strong as that of the green galaxies. We also find that the luminosity dependence of the clustering is strongly dependent on physical scale, with greater luminosity dependence being found between r=0.0625 {h}-1 {Mpc} and r=0.25 {h}-1 {Mpc}, compared to the r=0.5 {h}-1 {Mpc} to r=2 {h}-1 {Mpc} range. Moreover, over a range of two orders of magnitude in luminosity, a single power-law fit to the luminosity dependence is not sufficient to explain the increase in clustering at both the bright and faint ends at the smaller scales. We argue that luminosity-dependent clustering at small scales is a necessary component of galaxy-halo occupation models for blue, star-forming galaxies as well as for red, quenched galaxies. %3 10.1088/0004-637X/811/2/90 %= eprint: arXiv:1502.01348 %@ 0004-637X %0 Journal Article %T The Eleventh and Twelfth Data Releases of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: Final Data from SDSS-III %A Alam, Shadab %A Albareti, Franco D. %A Allende Prieto, Carlos %A Anders, F. %A Anderson, Scott F. %A Anderton, Timothy %A Andrews, Brett H. %A Armengaud, Eric %A Aubourg, Éric %A Bailey, Stephen %A Basu, Sarbani %A Bautista, Julian E. %A Beaton, Rachael L. %A Beers, Timothy C. %A Bender, Chad F. %A Berlind, Andreas A. %A Beutler, Florian %A Bhardwaj, Vaishali %A Bird, Jonathan C. %A Bizyaev, Dmitry %A Blake, Cullen H. %A Blanton, Michael R. %A Blomqvist, Michael %A Bochanski, John J. %A Bolton, Adam S. %A Bovy, Jo %A Shelden Bradley, A. %A Brandt, W.

All of the data from SDSS-III are now made public. In particular, this paper describes Data Release 11 (DR11) including all data acquired through 2013 July, and Data Release 12 (DR12) adding data acquired through 2014 July (including all data included in previous data releases), marking the end of SDSS-III observing. Relative to our previous public release (DR10), DR12 adds one million new spectra of galaxies and quasars from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) over an additional 3000 deg2 of sky, more than triples the number of H-band spectra of stars as part of the Apache Point Observatory (APO) Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE), and includes repeated accurate radial velocity measurements of 5500 stars from the Multi-object APO Radial Velocity Exoplanet Large-area Survey (MARVELS). The APOGEE outputs now include the measured abundances of 15 different elements for each star. In total, SDSS-III added 5200 deg2 of ugriz imaging; 155,520 spectra of 138,099 stars as part of the Sloan Exploration of Galactic Understanding and Evolution 2 (SEGUE-2) survey; 2,497,484 BOSS spectra of 1,372,737 galaxies, 294,512 quasars, and 247,216 stars over 9376 deg2; 618,080 APOGEE spectra of 156,593 stars; and 197,040 MARVELS spectra of 5513 stars. Since its first light in 1998, SDSS has imaged over 1/3 of the Celestial sphere in five bands and obtained over five million astronomical spectra. %3 10.1088/0067-0049/219/1/12 %= eprint: arXiv:1501.00963 %@ 0067-0049 %0 Journal Article %T Dark Matter Halo Models of Stellar Mass-dependent Galaxy Clustering in PRIMUS+DEEP2 at 0.2>z>1.2 %A Skibba, Ramin A. %A Coil, Alison L. %A Mendez, Alexander J. %A Blanton, Michael R. %A Bray, Aaron D. %A Cool, Richard J. %A Eisenstein, Daniel J. %A Guo, Hong %A Miyaji, Takamitsu %A Moustakas, John %A Zhu, Guangtun %+ AA(Department of Physics, Center for Astrophysics and Space Sciences, University of California, San Diego, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, CA 92093, USA raminskibba@gmail.com), AB(Department of Physics, Center for Astrophysics and Space Sciences, University of California, San Diego, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, CA 92093, USA 0000-0002-2583-5894), AC(Department of Physics, Center for Astrophysics and Space Sciences, University of California, San Diego, 9500 Gilman Drive, La Jolla, CA 92093, USA; Department of Physics & Astronomy, Johns Hopkins University, 3400 N.

These clustering measurements provide new constraints on the connections between dark matter halo properties and galaxy properties in the context of the evolving large-scale structure of the universe. Using both an analytic model and a set of mock galaxy catalogs, we find a strong correlation between central galaxy stellar mass and dark matter halo mass over the range {M}{halo}˜ {10}11-{10}13 {h}-1 {M}, approximately consistent with previous observations and theoretical predictions. However, the stellar-to-halo mass relation and the mass scale where star formation efficiency reaches a maximum appear to evolve more strongly than predicted by other models, including models based primarily on abundance-matching constraints. We find that the fraction of satellite galaxies in halos of a given mass decreases significantly from z˜ 0.5 to z˜ 0.9, partly due to the fact that halos at fixed mass are rarer at higher redshift and have lower abundances. We also find that the {M}1/{M}{min} ratio, a model parameter that quantifies the critical mass above which halos host at least one satellite, decreases from ≈ 20 at z˜ 0 to ≈ 13 at z˜ 0.9. Considering the evolution of the subhalo mass function vis-à-vis satellite abundances, this trend has implications for relations between satellite galaxies and halo substructures and for intracluster mass, which we argue has grown due to stripped and disrupted satellites between z˜ 0.9 and z˜ 0.5. %3 10.1088/0004-637X/807/2/152 %= eprint: arXiv:1503.00731 %@ 0004-637X %0 Journal Article %T PRIMUS: The Relationship between Star Formation and AGN Accretion %A Azadi, Mojegan %A Aird, James %A Coil, Alison L. %A Moustakas, John %A Mendez, Alexander J. %A Blanton, Michael R. %A Cool, Richard J. %A Eisenstein, Daniel J. %A Wong, Kenneth C. %A Zhu, Guangtun %+ AA(Center for Astrophysics and Space Sciences, Department of Physics, University of California, 9500 Gilman Dr., La Jolla, San Diego, CA 92093, USA 0000-0001-6004-9728), AB(Department of Physics, Durham University, Durham DH1 3LE, UK; Institute of Astronomy, University of Cambridge, Madingley Road, Cambridge CB3 0HA, UK), AC(Center for Astrophysics and Space Sciences, Department of Physics, University of California, 9500 Gilman Dr., La Jolla, San Diego, CA 92093, USA 0000-0002-2583-5894), AD(Department of Physics and Astronomy, Siena College, 515 Loudon Road, Loudonville, NY 12211, USA), AE(Center for Astrophysics and Space Sciences, Department of Physics, University of California, 9500 Gilman Dr., La Jolla, San Diego, CA 92093, USA 0000-0002-7726-1722), AF(Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics, Department of Physics, New York University, 4 Washington Place, New York, NY 10003, USA), AG(MMT Observatory, 1540 E Second Street, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA), AH(Harvard College Observatory, 60 Garden St., Cambridge, MA 02138, USA), AI(Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics, Academia Sinica, No.1, Section 4, Roosevelt Rd., Taipei 10617, Taiwan 0000-0002-8459-7793), AJ(Department of Physics & Astronomy, Johns Hopkins University, 3400 N.

We identify a sample of 309 AGNs with {10}41\lt {L}X\lt {10}44 erg s-1 at 0.2\lt z\lt 1.2 in the PRIMUS redshift survey. We find AGNs in galaxies with a wide range of SFR at a given LX. We do not find a significant correlation between SFR and the observed instantaneous LX for star-forming AGN host galaxies. However, there is a weak but significant correlation between the mean LX and SFR of detected AGNs in star-forming galaxies, which likely reflects that LX varies on shorter timescales than SFR. We find no correlation between stellar mass and LX within the AGN population. Within both populations of star-forming and quiescent galaxies, we find a similar power-law distribution in the probability of hosting an AGN as a function of specific accretion rate. Furthermore, at a given stellar mass, we find a star-forming galaxy ˜2-3 more likely than a quiescent galaxy to host an AGN of a given specific accretion rate. The probability of a galaxy hosting an AGN is constant across the main sequence of star formation. These results indicate that there is an underlying connection between star formation and the presence of AGNs, but AGNs are often hosted by quiescent galaxies. %3 10.1088/0004-637X/806/2/187 %= eprint: arXiv:1407.1975 %@ 0004-637X %0 Journal Article %T PRIMUS: Effects of Galaxy Environment on the Quiescent Fraction Evolution at z < 0.8 %A Hahn, ChangHoon %A Blanton, Michael R. %A Moustakas, John %A Coil, Alison L. %A Cool, Richard J. %A Eisenstein, Daniel J. %A Skibba, Ramin A. %A Wong, Kenneth C. %A Zhu, Guangtun %+ AA(Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics, Department of Physics, New York University, 4 Washington Place, New York, NY 10003, USA chh327@nyu.edu 0000-0003-1197-0902), AB(Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics, Department of Physics, New York University, 4 Washington Place, New York, NY 10003, USA), AC(Department of Physics and Astronomy, Siena College, 515 Loudon Road, Loudonville, NY 12211, USA), AD(Center for Astrophysics and Space Sciences, Department of Physics, University of California, 9500 Gilman Dr., La Jolla, CA 92093, USA 0000-0002-2583-5894), AE(MMT Observatory, University of Arizona, 1540 E Second Street, Tucson AZ 85721, USA), AF(Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA), AG(Center for Astrophysics and Space Sciences, Department of Physics, University of California, 9500 Gilman Dr., La Jolla, CA 92093, USA), AH(Steward Observatory, University of Arizona, 933 North Cherry Avenue, Tucson, AZ 85721, USA), AI(Department of Physics and Astronomy, The Johns Hopkins University, 3400 North Charles Street, Baltimore, MD 21218, USA;) %B The Astrophysical Journal %V 806 %D 2015 %8 June 1, 2015 %K cosmology: observations; galaxies: evolution; galaxies: groups: general; galaxies: star formation; galaxies: statistics %U http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2015ApJ...806..162H %X We investigate the effects of galaxy environment on the evolution of the quiescent fraction ({{f}Q}) from z=0.8 to 0.0 using spectroscopic redshifts and multi-wavelength imaging data from the PRIsm MUlti-object Survey (PRIMUS) and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Our stellar mass limited galaxy sample consists of ˜14,000 PRIMUS galaxies within z = 0.2-0.8 and ˜64,000 SDSS galaxies within z = 0.05-0.12. We classify the galaxies as quiescent or star-forming (SF) based on an evolving specific star formation cut, and as low or high density environments based on fixed cylindrical aperture environment measurements on a volume-limited environment defining population. For quiescent and SF galaxies in low or high density environments, we examine the evolution of their stellar mass function (SMF). Then using the SMFs we compute {{f}Q}({{M}*}) and quantify its evolution within our redshift range. We find that the quiescent fraction is higher at higher masses and in denser environments. The quiescent fraction rises with cosmic time for all masses and environments. At a fiducial mass of {{10}10.5} {{M}}, from z˜ 0.7 to 0.1, the quiescent fraction rises by 15% at the lowest environments and by 25% at the highest environments we measure. These results suggest that for a minority of galaxies their cessation of star formation is due to external influences on them. In other words, in the recent universe a substantial fraction of the galaxies that cease forming stars do so due to internal processes. %3 10.1088/0004-637X/806/2/162 %= eprint: arXiv:1412.7162 %@ 0004-637X %0 Journal Article %T Measuring the Luminosity and Virial Black Hole Mass Dependence of Quasar-Galaxy Clustering At z ˜ 0.8 %A Krolewski, Alex G. %A Eisenstein, Daniel J. %+ AA(Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA 0000-0003-2183-7021), AB(Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, 60 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA) %B The Astrophysical Journal %V 803 %D 2015 %8 April 1, 2015 %K galaxies: active; large-scale structure of universe; quasars: general %U http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2015ApJ...803....4K %X We study the dependence of quasar clustering on quasar luminosity and black hole mass by measuring the angular overdensity of photometrically selected galaxies imaged by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) about z ˜ 0.8 quasars from SDSS. By measuring the quasar-galaxy cross-correlation function and using photometrically selected galaxies, we achieve a higher density of tracer objects and a more sensitive detection of clustering than measurements of the quasar autocorrelation function. We test models of quasar formation and evolution by measuring the luminosity dependence of clustering amplitude. We find a significant overdensity of WISE galaxies about z ˜ 0.8 quasars at 0.2-6.4 h-1 Mpc in projected comoving separation. We find no appreciable increase in clustering amplitude with quasar luminosity across a decade in luminosity, and a power-law fit between luminosity and clustering amplitude gives an exponent of -0.01 ± 0.06 (1 σ error). We also fail to find a significant relationship between clustering amplitude and black hole mass, although our dynamic range in true mass is suppressed due to the large uncertainties in virial black hole mass estimates. Our results indicate that a small range in host dark matter halo mass maps to a large range in quasar luminosity. %3 10.1088/0004-637X/803/1/4 %= eprint: arXiv:1501.03898 %@ 0004-637X
