The Galaxy-Mass Correlation Function Measured from Weak Lensing in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Open accessAbstract
We present galaxy-galaxy lensing measurements over scales 0.025 to 10 h -1 Mpc in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Using a flux-limited sample of 127,001 lens galaxies with spectroscopic redshifts and mean luminosity ⟨ L ⟩ ∼ L * and 9,020,388 source galaxies with photometric redshifts, we invert the lensing signal to obtain the galaxy-mass correlation function ξ gm . We find ξ gm is consistent with a power law, ξ gm = ( r / r 0 ) -γ , with best-fit parameters γ = 1.79 ± 0.06 and r 0 = (5.4 ± 0.7)(0.27/Ω m ) 1/γ h -1 Mpc. At fixed separation, the ratio ξ gg /ξ gm = b / r , where b is the bias and r is the correlation coefficient. Comparing with the galaxy autocorrelation function for a similarly selected sample of SDSS galaxies, we find that b / r is approximately scale-independent over scales 0.2–6.7 h -1 Mpc, with mean ⟨ b / r ⟩ = (1.3 ± 0.2)(Ω m /0.27). We also find no scale dependence in b / r for a volume-limited sample of luminous galaxies (-23.0 < M r < -21.5). The mean b / r for this sample is ⟨ b / r ⟩ Vlim = (2.0 ± 0.7)(Ω m /0.27). We split the lens galaxy sample into subsets based on luminosity, color, spectral type, and velocity dispersion and see clear trends of the lensing signal with each of these parameters. The amplitude and logarithmic slope of ξ gm increase with galaxy luminosity. For high luminosities ( L ∼ 5 L * ), ξ gm deviates significantly from a power law. These trends with luminosity also appear in the subsample of red galaxies, which are more strongly clustered than blue galaxies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
