We present cosmological results from the final galaxy clustering data set of the Baryon
Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey, part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III. Our combined galaxy …

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 …

We present a one per cent measurement of the cosmic distance scale from the detections of
the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the clustering of galaxies from the Baryon …

We present an overview of a new integral field spectroscopic survey called MaNGA (Mapping
Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory), one of three core programs in the fourth-…

In order to understand the formation and subsequent evolution of galaxies one must first
distinguish between the two main morphological classes of massive systems: spirals and early-…

Tuberculosis has claimed its victims throughout much of known human history. It reached
epidemic proportions in Europe and North America during the 18th and 19th centuries, earning …

The Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey has been operating since 2008 February on
the 3.9-m Anglo-Australian Telescope using the AAOmega fibre-fed spectrograph facility to …

The aim of this paper is to set constraints on the epochs of early-type galaxy formation
through the" archaeology" of the stellar populations in local galaxies. Using our models of …

Human rights norms do matter. Those established by the Helsinki Final Act contributed directly
to the demise of communism in the former East bloc, contends Daniel Thomas. This book …

We derive constraints on cosmological parameters and tests of dark energy models from the
combination of baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements with cosmic microwave …
