We study how 21 cm intensity mapping can be used to measure gravitational lensing over a wide range of redshift. This can extend weak lensing measurements to higher redshifts than are accessible with conventional galaxy surveys. We…

We construct a galaxy groups catalogue from the public 100K data release of the 2dF galaxy redshift survey. The group identification is carried out using a slightly modified version of the group finding algorithm developed by Huchra &…

Galaxy surveys aim to map the large-scale structure of the Universe and use redshift space distortions to constrain deviations from general relativity and probe the existence of massive neutrinos. However, the amount of information that can…

Stellar mass estimates of massive galaxies are susceptible to systematic errors in their photometry, due to their extended light profiles. In this study we use data from the Dragonfly Wide Field Survey (DWFS) to accurately measure the total…

Galaxy peculiar velocities provide an integral source of cosmological information that can be harnessed to measure the growth rate of large scale structure and constrain possible extensions to General Relativity. In this work, we present a…

We use dense redshift surveys of nine galaxy clusters at $z\sim0.2$ to compare the galaxy distribution in each system with the projected matter distribution from weak lensing. By combining 2087 new MMT/Hectospec redshifts and the data in…

Millimeter galaxy surveys are particularly effective in detecting dusty star-forming galaxies at high redshift. While such observations are typically conducted at ~1mm, some studies suggest that 2mm may be better suited for selecting…

We present a method for removal of the contaminating effects of intrinsic galaxy alignments, in measurements of cosmic shear from multi-colour weak lensing surveys. The method down-weights pairs which are likely to be close in three…

The intrinsic alignments of galaxies, i.e., the correlation between galaxy shapes and their environment, are a major source of contamination for weak gravitational lensing surveys. Most studies of intrinsic alignments have so far focused on…

We study the clustering of galaxies detected at $i<22.5$ in the Science Verification observations of the Dark Energy Survey (DES). Two-point correlation functions are measured using $2.3\times 10^6$ galaxies over a contiguous 116 deg$^2$…

The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey is the first to measure more than 100,000 redshifts. This allows precise measurements of many of the key statistical measures of galaxy clustering, in particular redshift-space distortions and the large-scale…
