Measuring our Universe from Galaxy Redshift Surveys [PDF]
Living Reviews in Relativity, 2004 Galaxy redshift surveys have achieved significant progress over the last couple of decades. Those surveys tell us in the most straightforward way what our local Universe looks like.

Beyond the plane-parallel approximation for redshift surveys [PDF]
, 2018 Redshift space distortions privilege the location of the observer in cosmological redshift surveys, breaking the translational symmetry of the underlying theory.

Bayesian inference from photometric redshift surveys [PDF]
, 2011 We show how to enhance the redshift accuracy of surveys consisting of tracers with highly uncertain positions along the line of sight. Photometric surveys with redshift uncertainty delta_z ~ 0.03 can yield final redshift uncertainties of delta_z_f ~ 0 ...

On estimating redshift and luminosity distributions in photometric redshift surveys [PDF]
, 2007 The luminosity functions of galaxies and quasars provide invaluable information about galaxy and quasar formation. Estimating the luminosity function from magnitude limited samples is relatively straightforward, provided that the distances to the objects

Forecasting Cosmological Constraints from Redshift Surveys [PDF]
, 2008 Observations of redshift-space distortions in spectroscopic galaxy surveys offer an attractive method for observing the build-up of cosmological structure, which depends both on the expansion rate of the Universe and our theory of gravity.

The Nonlinear Redshift Space Power Spectrum: Omega from Redshift Surveys [PDF]
, 1995 We examine the anisotropies in the power spectrum by the mapping of real to redshift space. Using the Zel'dovich approximation, we obtain an analytic expression for the nonlinear redshift space power spectrum in the distant observer limit.

Mapping the Galaxy Color-Redshift Relation: Optimal Photometric Redshift Calibration Strategies for Cosmology Surveys [PDF]
, 2015 Calibrating the photometric redshifts of >10^9 galaxies for upcoming weak lensing cosmology experiments is a major challenge for the astrophysics community.

Measuring Galaxy Environments with Deep Redshift Surveys [PDF]
, 2005 We study the applicability of several galaxy environment measures (n^th-nearest-neighbor distance, counts in an aperture, and Voronoi volume) within deep redshift surveys.

Power-spectrum analysis of three-dimensional redshift surveys [PDF]
, 1994 We develop a general method for power spectrum analysis of three dimensional redshift surveys. We present rigorous analytical estimates for the statistical uncertainty in the power and we are able to derive a rigorous optimal weighting scheme under the ...
