TL;DR: In this article, the design and performance of the multi-object fiber spectrographs for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and their upgrade for the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) were presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The sloan lens acs survey. x. stellar, dynamical, and total mass correlations of massive early-type galaxies
Matthew W. Auger,Tommaso Treu,Adam S. Bolton,Raphael Gavazzi,Raphael Gavazzi,Léon V. E. Koopmans,Philip J. Marshall,Philip J. Marshall,Leonidas A. Moustakas,Scott Burles +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used stellar masses, surface photometry, strong-lensing masses, and stellar velocity dispersions (σ e/2) to investigate empirical correlations for the definitive sample of 73 early-type galaxies (ETGs) that are strong gravitational lenses from the SLACS survey.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Initial Mass Function of Early-Type Galaxies
Tommaso Treu,Tommaso Treu,Matthew W. Auger,Léon V. E. Koopmans,Raphael Gavazzi,Raphael Gavazzi,Philip J. Marshall,Adam S. Bolton +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors determine an absolute calibration of the initial mass function (IMF) of early-type galaxies, by studying a sample of 56 gravitational lenses identified by the Sloan Lenses ACS Survey.

The PRIsm MUlti-object Survey (PRIMUS). I. Survey Overview and Characteristics
Alison L. Coil,Michael R. Blanton,Scott Burles,Richard J. Cool,Daniel J. Eisenstein,John Moustakas,Kenneth C. Wong,Guangtun Zhu,James Aird,Rebecca A. Bernstein,Adam S. Bolton,David W. Hogg +11 more
TL;DR: The PRIMUS survey as mentioned in this paper uses a low-dispersion prism and slitmasks to observe ~2500 objects at once in a 0.18-deg2 field of view, using the Inamori Magellan Areal Camera and Spectrograph camera on the Magellan I Baade 6.5m telescope at Las Campanas Observatory.
