Cosmology with photometric redshift surveys [PDF]
We explore the utility of future photometric redshift imaging surveys for delineating the large-scale structure of the Universe, and assess the resulting constraints on the cosmological model.

Peculiar velocity decomposition, redshift space distortion, and velocity reconstruction in redshift surveys. II. Dark matter velocity statistics [PDF]
Massive spectroscopic redshift surveys open a promising window to accurately measure peculiar velocity at cosmological distances through redshift space distortion (RSD). In Paper I Zhang et al. [Phys. Rev.

Measuring the transition to homogeneity with photometric redshift surveys [PDF]
We study the possibility of detecting the transition to homogeneity using photometric redshift catalogs. Our method is based on measuring the fractality of the projected galaxy distribution, using angular distances, and relies only on observable ...

Spectral Templates from Multicolor Redshift Surveys [PDF]
Understanding how the physical properties of galaxies (e.g. their spectral type or age) evolve as a function of redshift relies on having an accurate representation of galaxy spectral energy distributions.

Towards more realistic forecasting of dark energy constraints from galaxy redshift surveys [PDF]
Galaxy redshift surveys are becoming increasingly important as a dark energy probe. We improve the forecasting of dark energy constraints from galaxy redshift surveys by using the ‘dewiggled’ galaxy power spectrum, P_(dw)(k), in the Fisher matrix ...

Cosmology with clustering anisotropies: disentangling dynamic and geometric distortions in galaxy redshift surveys [PDF]
We investigate the impact of different observational effects affecting a precise and accurate measurement of the growth rate of fluctuations from the anisotropy of clustering in galaxy redshift surveys.

The effects of spatial resolution on Integral Field Spectrograph surveys at different redshifts. The CALIFA perspective [PDF]
Over the past decade, 3D optical spectroscopy has become the preferred tool for understanding the properties of galaxies and is now increasingly used to carry out galaxy surveys. Low redshift surveys include SAURON, DiskMass, ATLAS3D, PINGS and VENGA. At

Peculiar velocity decomposition, redshift space distortion, and velocity reconstruction in redshift surveys: The methodology [PDF]
Massive spectroscopic surveys will measure the redshift space distortion (RSD) induced by galaxy peculiar velocity to unprecedented accuracy and open a new era of precision RSD cosmology.

A PUBLIC VOID CATALOG FROM THE SDSS DR7 GALAXY REDSHIFT SURVEYS BASED ON THE WATERSHED TRANSFORM [PDF]
We produce the most comprehensive public void catalog to date using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 main sample out to redshift z = 0.2 and the luminous red galaxy sample out to z = 0.44.

Constraining inflation with future galaxy redshift surveys [PDF]
With future galaxy surveys, a huge number of Fourier modes of the distribution of the large scale structures in the Universe will become available. These modes are complementary to those of the CMB and can be used to set constraints on models of the ...
