A.; Yan, Renbin (IOP Publishing, 2004)
      We measure the two-point correlation function ξ(rp, π) in a sample of 2219 galaxies between z = 0.7 and 1.35 to a magnitude limit of RAB = 24.1 from the first season of the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey. From ξ(rp, π) we ...

      We describe the design and data analysis of the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey, the densest and largest high-precision redshift survey of galaxies at z ~ 1 completed to date. The survey was designed to conduct a comprehensive ...
    • The DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey: First Results on Galaxy Groups 

      Gerke, Brian F.; Newman, Jeffrey A.; Davis, Marc; Marinoni, Christian; Yan, Renbin; Coil, Alison L.; Conroy, Charlie; Cooper, Michael C.; Faber, S. M.; Finkbeiner, Douglas; Guhathakurta, Puragra; Kaiser, Nick; Koo, David C.; Phillips, Andrew C.; Weiner, Benjamin J.; Willmer, Christopher N. A. (IOP Publishing, 2005)
      We use the first 25% of the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey spectroscopic data to identify groups and clusters of galaxies in redshift space. The data set contains 8370 galaxies with confirmed redshifts in the range 0.7 ≤ z ...
    • The DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey: the relationship between galaxy properties and environment at z  1 

      Cooper, M. C.; Newman, J. A.; Croton, D. J.; Weiner, B. J.; Willmer, C. N. A.; Gerke, B. F.; Madgwick, D. S.; Faber, S. M.; Davis, M.; Coil, A. L.; Finkbeiner, Douglas; Guhathakurta, P.; Koo, D. C. (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2006)
      We study the mean environment of galaxies in the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey as a function of rest-frame colour, luminosity, and [O-ii] 3727-Å equivalent width. The local galaxy overdensity for >14-000 galaxies at 0.75 < ...
    • The Distortion of the Cosmic Microwave Background Spectrum Due to Intergalactic Dust 

      Imara, Nia; Loeb, Abraham (American Astronomical Society, 2016)
      Infrared emission from intergalactic dust might compromise the ability of future experiments to detect subtle spectral distortions in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) from the early Universe. We provide the first ...
    • Evidence for a direct collapse black hole in the Lyman α source CR7 

      Smith, Aaron; Bromm, Volker; Loeb, Abraham (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2016)
      Throughout the epoch of reionization the most luminous Ly{\alpha} emitters are capable of ionizing their own local bubbles. The CR7 galaxy at z≈6.6 stands out for its combination of exceptionally bright Ly{\alpha} and HeII ...
    • Limits on Intergalactic Dust During Reionization 

      Imara, Nia; Loeb, Abraham (American Astronomical Society, 2016)
      In this Letter, we constrain the dust-to-gas ratio in the intergalactic medium (IGM) at high redshifts. We employ models for dust in the local Universe to contrain the dust-to-gas ratio during the epoch of reionization at ...
    • Lyman α Radiation Hydrodynamics of Galactic Winds Before Cosmic Reionization 

      Smith, Aaron; Bromm, Volker; Loeb, Abraham (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2016)
      The dynamical impact of Lyman-alpha (Ly{\alpha}) radiation pressure on galaxy formation depends on the rate and duration of momentum transfer between Ly{\alpha} photons and neutral hydrogen gas. Although photon trapping ...
    • Modeling the Dust Properties of z ~ 6 Quasars with ART2—All-Wavelength Radiative Transfer with Adaptive Refinement Tree 

      Li, Yuexing; Hopkins, Philip F.; Hernquist, Lars Eric; Finkbeiner, Douglas; Cox, Thomas J.; Springel, Volker; Jiang, Linhua; Fan, Xiaohui; Yoshida, Naoki (IOP Publishing, 2008)
      The detection of large quantities of dust in z ~ 6 quasars by infrared and radio surveys presents puzzles for the formation and evolution of dust in these early systems. Previously, Li et al. showed that luminous quasars ...
    • Resonant H – Photodetachment: Enhanced Photodestruction and Consequences for Radiative Feedback 

      Miyake, S.; Stancil, P. C.; Sadeghpour, Hossein R.; Dalgarno, Alexander; McLaughlin, B. M.; Forrey, R. C. (IOP Publishing, 2010)
      The hydrogen negative ion plays a crucial role in the formation of hydrogen molecules in the early universe. Cooling through excitation of \(H_2\) drives the formation of the first cosmological objects. The \(H_2\) molecules ...
