The VIMOS VLT Deep Survey - First epoch VVDS-Deep survey: 11564 spectra with 17.5<=IAB<=24, and the redshift distribution over 0< z <=5 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
This paper presents the ``First Epoch'' sample from the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey (VVDS). The VVDS goals, observations, data reduction with VIPGI, and redshift measurement with KBRED are discussed.

Accurate precision cosmology with redshift unknown gravitational wave sources [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Gravitational waves can provide an accurate measurement of the luminosity distance to the source but cannot provide the source redshift unless the degeneracy between mass and redshift can be broken.

[O III] / [N II] as an abundance indicator at high redshift [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Among 'empirical' methods of estimating oxygen abundances in extragalactic H II regions, the use of the ratio of nebular lines of [O III] and [N II], first introduced by Alloin et al., is reappraised with modern calibration data and shown to have certain

Revisiting a Negative Cosmological Constant from Low-Redshift Data [PDF]

open access: yesSymmetry, 2019
Persisting tensions between high-redshift and low-redshift cosmological observations suggest the dark energy sector of the Universe might be more complex than the positive cosmological constant of the Λ CDM model.

HIGH-REDSHIFT GALAXIES IN THE HUBBLE DEEP FIELD : COLOUR SELECTION AND STAR FORMATION HISTORY TO Z 4 [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
The Lyman decrement associated with the cumulative effect of H I in QSO absorption systems along the line of sight provides a distinctive feature for identifying galaxies at z ≳ 2.5.

Does the Black Hole Merger Rate Evolve with Redshift? [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2018
We explore the ability of gravitational-wave detectors to extract the redshift distribution of binary black hole (BBH) mergers. The evolution of the merger rate across redshifts 0 < z ≲ 1 is directly tied to the formation and evolutionary processes ...

Redshifts and distances [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1979
Evidence concerning the associations between QSOs and galaxies with similar redshifts, and pairs with very different redshifts is reviewed. It is concluded that both kinds of associations are likely to be real.

High-redshift cosmography [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2010
We constrain the parameters describing the kinematical state of the universe using a cosmographic approach, which is fundamental in that it requires a very minimal set of assumptions (namely to specify a metric) and does not rely on the dynamical equations for gravity.

A Future Percent-level Measurement of the Hubble Expansion at Redshift 0.8 with Advanced LIGO [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2019
Simultaneous measurements of distance and redshift can be used to constrain the expansion history of the universe and associated cosmological parameters.

The redshift of GRB970508 [PDF]

open access: yesFourth Huntsville gamma-ray burst symposium, 1998
GRB 970508 is the second gamma-ray burst (GRB) for which an optical afterglow has been detected. It is the first GRB for which a distance scale has been determined: absorption and emission features in spectra of the optical afterglow place GRB 970508 at a redshift of z >= 0.835 [1,2].
