Starting from the observed distribution of galaxy clusters in redshift space we use a two--step procedure to recover their distances and peculiar velocities. After statistically correcting for the unobserved cluster distribution in the zone…

We present one thousand mock galaxy catalogues for the analysis of the Low Redshift Sample (LOWZ, effective redshift z ~ 10.32) of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey Data Releases 10 and 11. These mocks have been created following…

We apply the reconstruction technique of Nusser & Dekel (1992) to the recently available Point Source Catalogue Redshift Survey (PSCz) in order to subtract the phase correlations that are expected to develop in the mild non-linear regime of…

Noisy distance estimates associated with photometric rather than spectroscopic redshifts lead to a mis-estimate of the luminosities, and produce a correlated mis-estimate of the sizes. We consider a sample of early-type galaxies from the…

We present the linear inverse redshift space operator which maps the galaxy density field derived from redshift surveys from redshift space to real space. Expressions are presented for observers in both the CMBR and Local Group rest frames.…

We investigate the topology of the new Point Source Catalogue Redshift Survey (PSCz) of IRAS galaxies by means of the genus statistic. The survey maps the local Universe with approximately 15000 galaxies over 84.1 per cent of the sky and…

We use simulations to demonstrate that photometric redshift "errors" can be greatly reduced by using the photometric redshift probability distribution p(z) rather than a one-point estimate such as the most likely redshift. In principle this…

Reconstruction is becoming a crucial procedure of galaxy clustering analysis for future spectroscopic redshift surveys to obtain subpercent level measurement of the baryon acoustic oscillation scale. Most reconstruction algorithms rely on…

We use principal component analysis (PCA) to estimate stellar masses, mean stellar ages, star formation histories (SFHs), dust extinctions and stellar velocity dispersions for ~290,000 galaxies with stellar masses greater than $10^{11}Msun…

We present a self-consistent nonparametric model of the cosmic velocity field based on the spatial distribution of IRAS galaxies in the recently completed all-sky PSC$z$ redshift survey. The most streaking feature of the PSCz model velocity…

Reconstructing the density fluctuations in the early Universe that evolved into the distribution of galaxies we see today is a challenge of modern cosmology [ref.]. An accurate reconstruction would allow us to test cosmological models by…

In the modern galaxy surveys photometric redshifts play a central role in a broad range of studies, from gravitational lensing and dark matter distribution to galaxy evolution. Using a dataset of about 25,000 galaxies from the second data…

We present the catalogue and redshift data for the PSCz survey of 15,000 IRAS galaxies over 84% of the sky. The uniformity, completeness and data quality are assessed, and guidelines and caveats for its use are given.

A trustworthy estimate of the redshift distribution $n(z)$ is crucial for using weak gravitational lensing and large-scale structure of galaxy catalogs to study cosmology. Spectroscopic redshifts for the dim and numerous galaxies of…

Integral equations frequently arise in surface science, and in some cases, they must be treated as inverse problems. In our previous work on optical tweezers, atomic force microscopy, and surface force measurement apparatus, we performed…

In Lima et al. 2008 we presented a new method for estimating the redshift distribution, N(z), of a photometric galaxy sample, using photometric observables and weighted sampling from a spectroscopic subsample of the data. In this paper, we…

We apply a new algorithm, called the Unbiased Minimal Variance (hereafter UMV) estimator, to reconstruct the cosmic density and peculiar velocity fields in our local universe from the SEcat catalog of peculiar velocities comprising both…

Distance measurements are currently the most powerful tool to study the expansion history of the universe without specifying its matter content nor any theory of gravitation. Assuming only an isotropic, homogeneous and flat universe, in…

Surface brightness is a fundamental observational parameter of galaxies. We show, for the first time in detail, how it can be used to obtain photometric redshifts for galaxies, the $\mu$-PhotoZ method. We demonstrate that the Tolman surface…

We compare the peculiar velocities derived from the I-band Tully-Fisher (TF) relation for 989 field spiral galaxies in the SFI catalogue with the predicted velocity field derived from the IRAS PSCz galaxy redshift survey. We assume linear…
