The L_X--M relation of Clusters of Galaxies (2008)
Rykoff, E. S., Evrard, A. E., McKay, T. A., Becker, M. R., Johnston, D. E., Koester, B. P., ...
We present a new measurement of the scaling relation between X-ray luminosity and total mass for 17,000 galaxy clusters in the maxBCG cluster sample. Stacking sub-samples within fixed ranges of...

Determining the scaling relations between galaxy cluster observables requires large samples of uniformly observed clusters. We measure the mean X-ray luminosity--optical richness (L_X--N_200)...
A Gravitationally Lensed Quasar with Quadruple Images Separated by 14.62 Arcseconds (2003)
Inada, N., Oguri, M., Pindor, B., Hennawi, J. F., Chiu, K., Zheng, W., ...
Gravitational lensing is a powerful tool for the study of the distribution of dark matter in the Universe. The cold-dark-matter model of the formation of large-scale structures predicts the existence...
Oguri, M., Inada, N., Keeton, C. R., Pindor, B., Hennawi, J. F., Gregg, M. D., ...
We study the recently discovered gravitational lens SDSS J1004+4112, the first quasar lensed by a cluster of galaxies. It consists of four images with a maximum separation of 14.62''. The system has...
The Galaxy-mass Correlation Function Measured from Weak Lensing in the SDSS (2003)
Sheldon, E. S., Johnston, D. E., Frieman, J. A., Scranton, R., McKay, T. A., Connolly, A. J., ...
We present galaxy-galaxy lensing measurements over scales 0.025 to 10 Mpc/h in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Using a flux-limited sample of 127,001 lens galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts and mean...
Physical Evidence for Dark Energy (2003)
Scranton, R., Connolly, A. J., Nichol, R. C., Stebbins, A., Szapudi, I., Eisenstein, D. J., ...
We present measurements of the angular cross-correlation between luminous red galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the cosmic microwave background temperature maps from the Wilkinson...
