The accelerating expansion of the universe is the most surprising cosmological discovery in
many decades, implying that the universe is dominated by some form of “dark energy” with …

We review the formalism and applications of non-linear perturbation theory (PT) to
understanding the large-scale structure of the Universe. We first discuss the dynamics of …

Abstract The Galaxy and Mass Assembly (GAMA) survey has been operating since 2008
February on the 3.9-m Anglo-Australian Telescope using the AAOmega fibre-fed …

The rapidly expanding field of galaxy formation lies at the interface between astronomy,
particle physics, and cosmology. Covering diverse topics from these disciplines, all of which …

The cold dark matter model has become the leading theoretical picture for the formation of
structure in the Universe. This model, together with the theory of cosmic inflation, makes a …

We review the formalism and applications of the halo-based description of non-linear
gravitational clustering. In this approach, all mass is associated with virialized dark matter …

We measure the luminosity and color dependence of galaxy clustering in the largest-ever
galaxy redshift survey, the main galaxy sample of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Seventh Data …

We use a statistical approach to determine the relationship between the stellar masses of
galaxies and the masses of the dark matter halos in which they reside. We obtain a …

We present a power-spectrum analysis of the final 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS),
employing a direct Fourier method. The sample used comprises 221 414 galaxies with …

We measure the large-scale real-space power spectrum P (k) by using a sample of 205,443
galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, covering 2417 effective square degrees with …
