SDSS-III: MASSIVE SPECTROSCOPIC SURVEYS OF THE DISTANT UNIVERSE, THE MILKY WAY, AND EXTRA-SOLAR PLANETARY SYSTEMS
- D. Eisenstein, D. Weinberg, +237 authors Bo Zhao
- Physics
- 1 December 2007
Building on the legacy of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-I and II), SDSS-III is a program of four spectroscopic surveys on three scientific themes: dark energy and cosmological parameters, the…
THE BARYON OSCILLATION SPECTROSCOPIC SURVEY OF SDSS-III
- K. Dawson, D. Schlegel, +162 authors Zheng Zheng
- Physics
- 31 July 2012
The Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) is designed to measure the scale of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the clustering of matter over a larger volume than the combined efforts of…
Cosmological parameter analysis including SDSS Lyα forest and galaxy bias: Constraints on the primordial spectrum of fluctuations, neutrino mass, and dark energy
- U. Seljak, A. Makarov, +18 authors D. York
- Physics
- 19 July 2004
We combine the constraints from the recent Lyα forest analysis of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the SDSS galaxy bias analysis with previous constraints from SDSS galaxy clustering, the…
Toward a Measurement of the Cosmological Geometry at z ~ 2: Predicting Lyα Forest Correlation in Three Dimensions and the Potential of Future Data Sets
- P. Mcdonald
- Physics
- 3 August 2001
The correlation between Ly? absorption in the spectra of quasar pairs can be used to measure the transverse distance scale at z ~ 2, which is sensitive to the cosmological constant (??) or other…
The DESI Experiment, a whitepaper for Snowmass 2013
- M. Levi, C. Bebek, +11 authors Representing the Sld Collaboration
- Physics
- 4 August 2013
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) is a massively multiplexed fiber-fed spectrograph that will make the next major advance in dark energy in the timeframe 2018-2022. On the Mayall…
Cosmological parameters from combining the Lyman-α forest with CMB, galaxy clustering and SN constraints
- U. Seljak, A. Slosar, P. Mcdonald
- Physics
- 14 April 2006
We combine the Ly-? forest power spectrum (LYA) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and high resolution spectra with cosmic microwave background (CMB) including three-year WMAP, and supernovae…
The Linear Theory Power Spectrum from the Lyα Forest in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
- P. Mcdonald, U. Seljak, +12 authors D. Berk
- Physics
- 19 July 2004
We analyze the SDSS Lyα forest PF(k, z) measurement to determine the linear theory power spectrum. Our analysis is based on fully hydrodynamic simulations, extended using hydro-particle-mesh…
The DESI Experiment Part I: Science,Targeting, and Survey Design

- Physics
- 31 October 2016
DESI (Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument) is a Stage IV ground-based dark energy experiment that will study baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) and the growth of structure through redshift-space…
A Measurement of the Temperature-Density Relation in the Intergalactic Medium Using a New Lyα Absorption-Line Fitting Method*
- P. Mcdonald, J. Miralda-Escude', M. Rauch, W. Sargent, T. Barlow, R. Cen
- Physics
- 29 May 2000
The evolution of the temperature in the intergalactic medium is related to the reionization of hydrogen and helium and has important consequences for our understanding of the Lyα forest and of galaxy…
DESI and other Dark Energy experiments in the era of neutrino mass measurements
- A. Font-Ribera, P. Mcdonald, N. Mostek, B. Reid, H. Seo, A. Slosar
- Physics
