Understanding dwarf galaxy formation is crucial for testing dark matter models and reionization physics. However, constructing stellar-mass complete spectroscopic samples at low masses is increasingly difficult, and the potential existence…

The Photometric Objects Around Cosmic Webs (PAC) method integrates cosmological photometric and spectroscopic surveys, offering valuable insights into galaxy formation. PAC measures the excess surface density of photometric objects,…

We provide a method for estimating the projected density distribution $\bar{n}_2w_p(r_p)$ of photometric objects around spectroscopic objects in a redshift survey. This quantity describes the distribution of Photometric sources with certain…

In this paper, we report a robust measurement of the morphology, color and galaxy size dependences of the stellar-halo mass relation (SHMR) at the high mass end ($10^{11.3}{\rm M_{\odot}}<M_{\star}<10^{11.7}{\rm M_{\odot}}$) at redshift…

Measuring the density of the intergalactic medium using quasar sightlines in the epoch of reionization is challenging due to the saturation of Lyman-$\alpha$ absorption. Near a luminous quasar, however, the enhanced radiation creates a…

The UV radiation from high redshift quasars causes a local deficit in the neutral hydrogen absorption (Lyman-alpha forest) in their spectra, known as the proximity effect. Measurements from small samples of tens to hundreds of quasars have…

We present an estimate of the projected two-point correlation function (2PCF) of quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) over the full range of one- and two-halo scales, 0.02-120 Mpc/h. This was achieved by combining data from SDSS…

With close pairs of quasars at different redshifts, a background quasar sightline can be used to study a foreground quasar's environment in absorption. We use a sample of 650 projected quasar pairs to study the HI Lya absorption transverse…

We provide new constraints on the connection between galaxies in the local universe, identified by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), and dark matter halos and their constituent substructures in the $\Lambda$CDM model using WMAP7…
