3d Genus Topology of Luminous Red Galaxies
We measure the 3D genus topology of large scale structure using Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and find it consistent with the Gaussian random phase initial conditions expected from the simplest scenarios of inflation. This studies 3D topology on the largest scales ever obtained. The topology is sponge-like. We measure topology in two volume-limited samples: a dens...
متن کاملLuminous red galaxies in hierarchical cosmologies
Luminous red galaxies (LRGs) are much rarer and more massive than L∗ galaxies. Coupled with their extreme colours, LRGs therefore provide a demanding testing ground for the physics of massive galaxy formation. We present the first self-consistent predictions for the abundance and properties of LRGs in hierarchical structure formation models. We test two published models which use quite differen...
متن کاملCosmic homogeneity demonstrated with luminous red galaxies
We test the homogeneity of the Universe at z ∼ 0.3 with the Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) spectroscopic sample of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. First, the mean number N(R) of LRGs within completely surveyed LRG-centered spheres of comoving radius R is shown to be proportional to R at radii greater than R ∼ 70 h Mpc. The test has the virtue that it does not rely on the assumption that the LRG sample...
متن کاملThe Three-Point Correlation Function of Luminous Red Galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
We present measurements of the redshift-space three-point correlation function of 50,967 Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) from Data Release 3 (DR3) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We have studied the shape dependence of the reduced three-point correlation function (Qz(s, q, θ)) on three different scales, s = 4, 7 and 10 hMpc, and over the range of 1 < q < 3 and 0◦ < θ < 180◦. On small scale...
متن کاملThe clustering of Luminous Red Galaxies around Mg II absorbers
We study the cross-correlation between 212 Mg II quasar absorption systems and ∼ 20,000 Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 1 in the redshift range 0.46 z6 0.8. The Mg II systems were selected to have λλ2796 & 2803 rest-frame equivalent widths >1.0 Å and identifications confirmed by the Fe II λ2600 or Mg I λ2852 lines. Over comoving scales 0.05–1...
