Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring the matter density using baryon oscillations in the SDSS
Will J. Percival,Robert C. Nichol,Daniel J. Eisenstein,David H. Weinberg,Masataka Fukugita,Adrian Pope,Adrian Pope,Donald P. Schneider,Alexander S. Szalay,Michael S. Vogeley,Idit Zehavi,Neta A. Bahcall,Jon Brinkmann,Andrew J. Connolly,Jon Loveday,Avery Meiksin +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the cosmological matter density by observing the positions of baryon acoustic oscillations in the clustering of galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS).
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, the authors calculate galaxy luminosity functions (LFs) and their evolution in the ugriz passbands using data from phase 1 of GAMA, taken over three observing seasons, and correcting for various minor sources of incompleteness.
Journal ArticleDOI
The significance of the integrated Sachs-Wolfe effect revisited
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors revisit the state of the integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect measurements in light of newly available data and address criticisms about the measurements which have recently been raised.
Journal ArticleDOI
A More General Model for the Intrinsic Scatter in Type Ia Supernova Distance Moduli
John Marriner,Joseph P. Bernstein,Richard Kessler,Hubert Lampeitl,Ramon Miquel,J. Mosher,Robert C. Nichol,Masao Sako,Donald P. Schneider,Mathew Smith +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, a covariance matrix was proposed to describe the intrinsic scatter in Type Ia supernovae by using a single parameter instead of the single parameter normally used, and applied to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Supernova Survey (SDSS-II) data.
