TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present measurements of weak gravitational lensing cosmic shear two-point statistics using Dark Energy Survey Science Verification data and demonstrate that their results are robust to the choice of shear measurement pipeline, either ngmix or im3shape.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mariangela Bernardi,Mariangela Bernardi,Ravi K. Sheth,Ravi K. Sheth,Mark SubbaRao,Gordon T. Richards,Scott Burles,Andrew J. Connolly,Joshua A. Frieman,Joshua A. Frieman,Robert C. Nichol,Joop Schaye,Donald P. Schneider,Daniel E. Vanden Berk,Donald G. York,J. Brinkmann,D. Q. Lamb +16 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effective optical depth in the Ly? forest region of 1061 low-resolution QSO spectra drawn from the SDSS database decreases with decreasing redshift over the range 2.5? z? 4.3.
Journal ArticleDOI
XMM-Newton observation of the distant (z=0.6) galaxy cluster RX J1120.1+4318

TL;DR: In this article, a 20 ksec XMM observation of the distant cluster RXJ1120.1+4318 is reported, which is consistent with an isothermal atmosphere up to half the virial radius.
Journal ArticleDOI
An empirical calibration of the completeness of the SDSS quasar survey
Daniel E. Vanden Berk,Daniel E. Vanden Berk,Donald P. Schneider,Gordon T. Richards,Patrick B. Hall,Michael A. Strauss,Robert J. Brunner,Xiaohui Fan,Ivan K. Baldry,Donald G. York,James E. Gunn,Robert C. Nichol,Robert C. Nichol,Avery Meiksin,Jon Brinkmann +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on spatially unresolved quasars, which comprise 94% of all SDSS quasar points to the main survey magnitude limit, giving a completeness of 94.9% to the limiting magnitude.
