From Finance to Cosmology: The Copula of Large-Scale Structure (2009)
Scherrer, Robert J., Berlind, Andreas A., Mao, Qingqing, McBride, Cameron K.
Any multivariate distribution can be uniquely decomposed into marginal (1-point) distributions, and a function called the copula, which contains all of the information on correlations between the...
Modeling the Very Small-Scale Clustering of Luminous Red Galaxies (2009)
Watson, Douglas F., Berlind, Andreas A., McBride, Cameron K., Masjedi, Morad
We model the small-scale clustering of luminous red galaxies (LRGs; Masjedi et al. 2006) in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Specifically, we use the halo occupation distribution (HOD) formalism...
The Baryonic Acoustic Feature and Large-Scale Clustering in the SDSS LRG Sample (2009)
Kazin, Eyal A., Blanton, Michael R., Scoccimarro, Roman, McBride, Cameron K., Berlind, Andreas A., Bahcall, Neta A., ...
We examine the correlation function \xi of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Luminous Red Galaxy sample (LRG) at large scales (60
Tidal Streams of Intracluster Light (2009)
Rudick, Craig S., Mihos, J. Christopher, Frey, Lucille H., McBride, Cameron K.
Using N-body simulations, we have modeled the production and evolution of substructures in the intracluster light (ICL) of a simulated galaxy cluster. We use a density-based definition of ICL, where...
