The statistics of peaks of Gaussian random fields
- J. Bardeen, J. Bond, N. Kaiser, A. Szalay
- Physics
- 1 May 1986
A set of new mathematical results on the theory of Gaussian random fields is presented, and the application of such calculations in cosmology to treat questions of structure formation from…

Une etude d'un echantillon de 2818 galaxies IRAS est realisee. La fonction de luminosite a 60 μm independante des variations de flux, et la distribution de densite radiale, independante de la…
Galaxy Luminosity Functions to z~1 from DEEP2 and COMBO-17: Implications for Red Galaxy Formation
- S. Faber, C. Willmer, R. Yan
- Physics
- 2 June 2005
The DEEP2 and COMBO-17 surveys are compared to study luminosity functions of red and blue galaxies to z ~ 1. The two surveys have different methods and sensitivities, but nevertheless results agree.…

Power spectrum analysis of three-dimensional redshift surveys
- H. Feldman, N. Kaiser, J. Peacock
- Physics
- 26 April 1993
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…
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: spectral types and luminosity functions
- S. R. Folkes, S. Ronen, K. Taylor
- Physics
- 30 March 1999
We describe the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS), and the current status of the observations. In this exploratory paper, we apply a Principal Component Analysis to a preliminary sample of 5869…
The Pan-STARRS wide-field optical/NIR imaging survey
- N. Kaiser, W. Burgett, J. Tonry
- PhysicsAstronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation
- 16 July 2010
Pan-STARRS is a highly cost-effective, modular and scalable approach to wide-field optical/NIR imaging. It uses 1.8m telescopes with very large (7 square degree) field of view and revolutionary1.4…
A Method for Weak Lensing Observations
- N. Kaiser, G. Squires, T. Broadhurst
- Physics
- 1 November 1994
We develop and test a method for measuring the gravitational lensing induced distortion of faint background galaxies. We first describe how we locate the galaxies and measure a 2-component…
