Large-scale structure of the Universe and cosmological perturbation theory

F Bernardeau, S Colombi, E Gaztañaga… - Physics reports, 2002 - Elsevier
We review the formalism and applications of non-linear perturbation theory (PT) to
understanding the large-scale structure of the Universe. We first discuss the dynamics of …

Halo models of large scale structure

A Cooray, R Sheth - Physics reports, 2002 - Elsevier
We review the formalism and applications of the halo-based description of non-linear
gravitational clustering. In this approach, all mass is associated with virialized dark matter …

KiDS-450: cosmological parameter constraints from tomographic weak gravitational lensing

H Hildebrandt, M Viola, C Heymans… - Monthly Notices of …, 2017 - academic.oup.com
We present cosmological parameter constraints from a tomographic weak gravitational
lensing analysis of∼ 450 deg2 of imaging data from the Kilo Degree Survey (KiDS). For a …

Simulations of the formation, evolution and clustering of galaxies and quasars

V Springel, SDM White, A Jenkins, CS Frenk… - nature, 2005 - nature.com
The cold dark matter model has become the leading theoretical picture for the formation of
structure in the Universe. This model, together with the theory of cosmic inflation, makes a …

Cosmological parameters from SDSS and WMAP

M Tegmark, MA Strauss, MR Blanton, K Abazajian… - Physical review D, 2004 - APS
We measure cosmological parameters using the three-dimensional power spectrum P (k)
from over 200 000 galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) in combination with …

WJ Percival, BA Reid, DJ Eisenstein… - Monthly Notices of …, 2010 - academic.oup.com
Abstract The spectroscopic Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 (DR7) galaxy
sample represents the final set of galaxies observed using the original SDSS target …

Galaxy clustering in the completed SDSS redshift survey: the dependence on color and luminosity

I Zehavi, Z Zheng, DH Weinberg… - The Astrophysical …, 2011 - iopscience.iop.org
We measure the luminosity and color dependence of galaxy clustering in the largest-ever
galaxy redshift survey, the main galaxy sample of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Seventh Data …

Constraints on the relationship between stellar mass and halo mass at low and high redshift

BP Moster, RS Somerville, C Maulbetsch… - The Astrophysical …, 2010 - iopscience.iop.org
We use a statistical approach to determine the relationship between the stellar masses of
galaxies and the masses of the dark matter halos in which they reside. We obtain a …

Quantifying the bimodal color-magnitude distribution of galaxies

IK Baldry, K Glazebrook, J Brinkmann… - The Astrophysical …, 2004 - iopscience.iop.org
We analyze the bivariate distribution, in color versus absolute magnitude (ur vs. M r), of a
low-redshift sample of galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (2400 deg 2, 0.004< z< …

Spectroscopic target selection in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: the main galaxy sample

MA Strauss, DH Weinberg, RH Lupton… - The Astronomical …, 2002 - iopscience.iop.org
We describe the algorithm that selects the main sample of galaxies for spectroscopy in the
Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) from the photometric data obtained by the imaging survey …
