TL;DR: In this paper, a sample of nearly 9000 early-type galaxies, in the redshift range 0.01 ≤ z ≤ 0.3, was selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey using morphological and spectral criteria.

TL;DR: The VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS) as discussed by the authors was designed to address a broad range of problems in large-scale structure and galaxy evolution, thanks to a unique combination of volume and sampling rate, comparable to state-of-the-art surveys of the local Universe, together with extensive multi-band optical and near-infrared photometry.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the observed anisotropic clustering of galaxies in the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey Data Release 11 CMASS sample to measure the linear growth rate of structure, the Hubble expansion rate and the comoving distance scale.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured the projected correlation function wp from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey for a flux-limited sample of 118,000 galaxies and a volume-limited subset of 22, 000 galaxies with absolute magnitude Mr M1 = 4.74 × 1013 h-1 M☉ is M = 0.89, with 75% of the galaxies residing in less massive, single-galaxy halos.
