Galaxy Statistics in Pencil-beam Surveys at High Redshifts (2009)
Muñoz, Joseph A., Trac, Hy, Loeb, Abraham
Surveys of faint galaxies at high redshifts often result in a "pencil-beam" geometry that is much longer along the line-of-sight than across the sky. We explore the effects of this geometry on the...
Probing the Epoch of Reionization with Milky Way Satellites (2009)
Muñoz, Joseph A., Madau, Piero, Loeb, Abraham, Diemand, Jürg
While the connection between high-redshift star formation and the local universe has recently been used to understand the observed population of faint dwarf galaxies in the Milky Way (MW) halo, we...
The Density Contrast of the Shapley Supercluster (2008)
Muñoz, Joseph A., Loeb, Abraham
We calculate the density contrast of the Shapley Supercluster (SSC) based on the enhanced abundance of X-ray clusters in it using the extended Press-Schechter formalism. We derive a total SSC mass of...
Light-Cone Distortion of the Clustering and Abundance of Massive Galaxies at High-Redshifts (2007)
Muñoz, Joseph A., Loeb, Abraham
Observational surveys of galaxies are not trivially related to single-epoch snapshots from computer simulations. Observationally, an increase in the distance along the line-of-sight corresponds to an...
Muñoz, Joseph A., Loeb, Abraham
Massive high-redshift galaxies form in over-dense regions where the probability of forming other galaxies is also strongly enhanced. Given an observed flux of a galaxy, the inferred mass of its host...
