Using a method to correct redshift space distortion (RSD) for individual galaxies, we mapped the real space distributions of galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7(DR7). We use an ensemble of mock catalogs to demonstrate the reliability of this extension, showing that it allows for an accurate recovery of the real-space correlation functions and galaxy biases. We also demonstrate that, using an iterative method applied to intermediate scale clustering data, we can obtain an unbiased estimate of the growth rate of structure $f\sigma_8$, which is related to the clustering amplitude of matter, to an accuracy of $\sim 10\%$. Applying this method to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 (DR7), we construct a real-space galaxy catalog spanning the redshift range $0.01 \leq z \leq 0.2$, which contains 584,473 galaxies in the North Galactic Cap (NGC). Using this data we, infer $0.376 \pm 0.038$ at a median redshift z=0.1, which is consistent with the WMAP9 cosmology at $1\sigma$ level. By combining this measurement with the real-space clustering of galaxies and with galaxy-galaxy weak lensing measurements for the same sets of galaxies, we are able to break the degeneracy between $f$, $\sigma_8$ and $b$. From the SDSS DR7 data alone, we obtain the following cosmological constraints at redshift $z=0.1$ for galaxies.

While the Virgo Cluster Catalog (VCC) is well established catalog from deep photographic plate survey, with available survey data recently released (e.g., SDSS), it can be further updated concerning the membership and morphology of galaxies. While membership and morphology of galaxies included in the VCC are based on the single band imaging data, thanks to the multi-color imaging and spectroscopic observations of SDSS, we are able to revise the membership and morphology of sample galaxies in the fields of the Virgo cluster. We present a new catalog of galaxies in the Virgo cluster using SDSS DR7 data, the extended Virgo cluster catalog. Using SDSS imaging and spectroscopic data, we introduce two kinds of galaxy classifications which are complementary each other. In addition to traditional morphological classification by visual inspection of the images ("Primary Classification"), we also attempt to classify galaxies with the spectroscopic features ("Secondary Classification"). The primary classification is basically based on the scheme of galaxy morphological classification of VCC. The secondary classification relies on the SED shape and presence of emission/absorption lines returned from SDSS. Our morphological classifications allow to study the evolution and associated star formation histories of galaxies in the Virgo cluster.

We have established a database of galaxy spectral line strengths for the SDSS database using an improved line measuring method. Our work includes the entire SDSS DR7 galaxies within redshift of 0.2. The absorption line strengths measured by the SDSS pipeline are seriously contaminated by emission filling. Our code, GANDALF (gas and absorption line fitting code) performs more accurate measurements by effectively separating emission lines from absorption lines. A significant improvement has also been made on the velocity dispersion measurement, more notably in late-type galaxies. We have also identified a number of broad line region galaxies which were misclassified as normal galaxies by the SDSS pipeline. We developed an effective method measuring their line strengths. The database will be provided with new parameters that are indicative of the line strength measurement quality. In addition, we made galaxy templates for the Hubble sequence. The database will be useful for many fields of galaxy studies including star formation and AGN activities.

이 연구는 SDSS DR7의 적색이동(z)<0.05이고, 동시에 R_pet>6 arcsec, 단축과 장축의 비(b/a)>0.6인 외부은하 25,308개를 분류하고, 색 영상을 육안으로 조사하여 고리 모양의 구조를 가진 531개 은하를 선별했다. 이 은하들이 일차적 표본으로 사용되었고, 이 중 90개의 외부고리 은하 후보를 선택했다. 후보 은하의 u, g, r, i, z 영상에 대한 표면 측광으로부터 도출한 특성을 조사하여 최종으로 69개의 외부고리 은하를 결정했다. 외부고리 은하는 국부은하의 0.3%를 차지하는 것으로 나타났으며, 두 개의 환경 인자, 즉, 가장 가까운 은하까지의 투영 거리와 국부 배경 은하 밀도를 이용하여, 외부고리 은하의 환경 특성을 조사했다. 외부고리 은하의 환경이 다른 은하의 경우와 비교하여 눈에 띄는 차이의 결과는 보이지 않았다.

We analyze the dependence of environment of warped galaxies by using the local background density, Tidal Index and projected distance as measures of the environment. we use galaxies with redshift less than z=0.025 from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR7. We selected 345 edge-on galaxies using color images provided by the SDSS DR7 and checked it using isophotal maps. This sample contains 136 warped galaxies, 209 non-warped galaxies. Among warped galaxies, there are 18 strongly warped galaxies which have warp angles larger than 7.5o. We calculated the fractional distributions of galaxies as a function of environmental parameters. All of these parameters show little difference between warped galaxies and non-warped galaxies if we include weakly warped galaxies. However, there is a clear difference in the fractional distributions between the strongly warped galaxies and non-warped galaxies. The fraction of warped galaxies increases with decreasing distance to the nearest neighbor galaxy but It increases with increasing background density and Tidal Index. However, the relationships between warp angles and the three environmental parameters are not strong. The effect of Tidal Index is well distinguished in small, bright galaxies whereas the effects of the background density and the distance to the nearest neighbor galaxy are more pronounced in large, bright galaxies.

We prepare a catalog of the morphological types of 5840 galaxies within z = 0.01. We determine the morphological types by visual inspection using color images from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR7. The majority of the sample galaxies are SDSS spectroscopic target galaxies, but we add ~ 900 galaxies whose redshifts are available in the NASA Extra Galactic Database (NED). The fraction of elliptical and lenticular galaxies is ~ 0.06 while spiral galaxies comprise ~ 30% of the sample with a bar fraction of ~ 0.6. About half of sample are dwarf galaxies of which ~ 35% are dwarf elliptical-like galaxies. There is a strong correlation between the morphological types and luminosities of the galaxies, i.e., high luminosities in the early type galaxies and low luminosity in the late type galaxies. The mean luminosity of dwarf elliptical-like galaxies is similar to that of irregular galaxies.

We use a volume-limited sample of quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR7 quasar catalog to identify quasar groups and address their statistical significance. This quasar sample has a uniform selection function on the sky and nearly a maximum possible contiguous volume that can be drawn from the DR7 catalog. Quasar groups are identified by using the Friend-of-Friend algorithm with a set of fixed comoving linking lengths. We find that the richness distribution of the richest 100 quasar groups or the size distribution of the largest 100 groups are statistically equivalent with those of randomly-distributed points with the same number density and sky coverage when groups are identified with the linking length of $70h^{-1}Mpc$. It is shown that the large-scale structures like the huge Large Quasar Group (U1.27) reported by Clowes et al. (2013) can be found with high probability even if quasars have no physical clustering, and does not challenge the initially homogeneous cosmological models. Our results are statistically more reliable than those of Nadathur (2013), where the test was made only for the largest quasar group. It is shown that the linking length should be smaller than $50h^{-1}Mpc$ in order for the quasar groups identified in the DR7 catalog not to be dominated by associations of quasars grouped by chance. We present 20 richest quasar groups identified with the linking length of $70h^{-1}Mpc$ for further analyses.

우주론의 표준모형에서는 어느 정도 큰 규모에서 물질의 분포가 균일하고 등방하다고 가정한다. 본 연구는 어떤 규모에서 물질의 분포가 균일한지 은하의 관측 자료를 이용하여 조사하였다. 관측 자료로는 SDSS Data Release 7의 적색편이 값이 0.16에서 0.47사이에 있는 105,831개의 LRGs의 목록을 사용하였다. LRGs의 목록을 이용해서 일정한 적색편이 구간에 있는 은하들을 택하여, 이를 2차원 면으로 간주하고, 각 은하를 중심으로 원을 만들어 원의 면적에 대한 원 내부에 있는 은하들의 개수의 증감을 이용하여 균일성을 조사하였다. 정확한 비교를 위해 LRGs의 목록과 동일한 수의 은하를 무작위적으로 뿌린 Random catalog와 표준모형을 기반으로 만들어진 Horizon Run 3의 N-body simulation 의 결과로부터 얻어낸 halo mock catalog를 각각 비교하였다.

외부 고리를 갖는 은하들(Outer ring galaxies)을 SDSS dr7 목록에서 분류하여, 이들이 갖는 특징과 링 구조(Ring structure)를 형성하는데 외부환경의 요인이 있는지 조사하고자 했다. z<0.05, b/a>0.6, R>6"의 조건에서 25,308개의 은하들을 추출하였고, SDSS image tool을 이용하여 531개의 외부 고리 은하(Outer ring galaxies)또는 외부고리를 갖고 있는 것처럼 보이는 은하(Ring-like galaxies)를 육안으로 분류하였다. 5개(u, g, r, i, z)의 필터로 관측되어진 CCD 이미지의 분석으로 최종적으로 69개의 외부고리 은하(Outer ring galaxies)를 선정하였다. 통계적으로 전체 은하에서 외부 고리 은하가 차지하는 비율이 약 0.2726%라는 결과를 얻게 되었고, 은하들의 주변의 환경을 조사한 결과 배경밀도와 비리얼 반경에 있어서 다른 형태의 고리를 갖고 있는 은하들과의 유의미한 특이점은 보이지 않았다.
