2dF QSO Redshift Survey

open access: yes, 2000
With approximately 6000 QSO redshifts,the 2dF QSO redshift survey is already the biggest complete QSO survey. The aim for the survey is to have 25000 QSO redshifts, providing an order of magnitude increase in QSO clustering statistics. We first describe the observational parameters of the 2dF QSO survey.

Performance of the Quasar Spectral Templates for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
Millions of quasar spectra will be collected by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), leading to a fourfold increase in the number of known quasars.

Completeness in Photometric and Spectroscopic Searches for Clusters [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We investigate, using simulated galaxy catalogues, the completeness of searches for massive clusters of galaxies in redshift surveys or imaging surveys with photometric redshift estimates, i.e. what fraction of clusters (M>10^14/h Msun) are found in such

Validation of the Scientific Program for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) was designed to conduct a survey covering 14,000 deg ^2 over 5 yr to constrain the cosmic expansion history through precise measurements of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO).

Cosmological baryonic and matter densities from 600,000 SDSS Luminous Red Galaxies with photometric redshifts

open access: yes, 2006
We analyze MegaZ-LRG, a photometric-redshift catalogue of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) based on the imaging data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) 4th Data Release.

Machine Learning–based Search of High-redshift Quasars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
We present a machine learning search for high-redshift (5.0 < z < 6.5) quasars using the combined photometric data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Imaging Legacy Surveys and the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer survey.

Future prospects in observational galaxy evolution: towards increased resolution

open access: yes, 2012
Future prospects in observational galaxy evolution are reviewed from a personal perspective. New insights will especially come from high-redshift integral field kinematic data and similar low-redshift observations in very large and definitive surveys. We

Mapping the Galaxy Color-Redshift Relation: Optimal Photometric Redshift Calibration Strategies for Cosmology Surveys [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

open access: yes, 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.
