Dawson, Kyle S.,Kneib, Jean-Paul,Percival, Will J.,Alam, Shadab,Albareti, Franco D.,Anderson, Scott F.,Armengaud, Eric,Aubourg, É,ric,Bailey, Stephen,Bautista, Julian E.,Berlind, Andreas A.,Bers American Astronomical Society 2016 The Astronomical journal Vol.151 No.2
<P>In a six-year program started in 2014 July, the Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) will conduct novel cosmological observations using the BOSS spectrograph at Apache Point Observatory. These observations will be conducted simultaneously with the Time Domain Spectroscopic Survey (TDSS) designed for variability studies and the Spectroscopic Identification of eROSITA Sources (SPIDERS) program designed for studies of X-ray sources. In particular, eBOSS will measure with percent-level precision the distance-redshift relation with baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the clustering of matter. eBOSS will use four different tracers of the underlying matter density field to vastly expand the volume covered by BOSS and map the large-scale-structures over the relatively unconstrained redshift range 0.6 < z < 2.2. Using more than 250,000 new, spectroscopically confirmed luminous red galaxies at a median redshift z = 0.72, we project that eBOSS will yield measurements of the angular diameter distance d(A)(z) to an accuracy of 1.2% and measurements of H(z) to 2.1% when combined with the z > 0.6 sample of BOSS galaxies. With similar to 195,000 new emission line galaxy redshifts, we expect BAO measurements of d(A)(z) to an accuracy of 3.1% and H(z) to 4.7% at an effective redshift of z = 0.87. A sample of more than 500,000 spectroscopically confirmed quasars will provide the first BAO distance measurements over the redshift range 0.9 < z < 2.2, with expected precision of 2.8% and 4.2% on d(A)(z) and H(z), respectively. Finally, with 60,000 new quasars and re-observation of 60,000 BOSS quasars, we will obtain new Lya forest measurements at redshifts z > 2.1; these new data will enhance the precision of d(A)(z) and H(z) at z > 2.1 by a factor of 1.44 relative to BOSS. Furthermore, eBOSS will provide improved tests of General Relativity on cosmological scales through redshift-space distortion measurements, improved tests for non-Gaussianity in the primordial density field, and new constraints on the summed mass of all neutrino species. Here, we provide an overview of the cosmological goals, spectroscopic target sample, demonstration of spectral quality from early data, and projected cosmological constraints from eBOSS.</P>
HECTOMAP AND HORIZON RUN 4: DENSE STRUCTURES AND VOIDS IN THE REAL AND SIMULATED UNIVERSE

<P>HectoMAP is a dense redshift survey of red galaxies covering a 53 deg(2) strip of the northern sky. HectoMAP is 97% complete for galaxies with r < 20.5, (g-r) > 1.0, and (r -i) > 0.5. The survey enables tests of the physical properties of large-scale structure at intermediate redshift against cosmological models. We use the Horizon Run 4, one of the densest and largest cosmological simulations based on the standard. Cold Dark Matter (Lambda CDM) model, to compare the physical properties of observed large-scale structures with simulated ones in a volume-limited sample covering 8 x 10(6) h(-3) Mpc(3) in the redshift range 0.22 < z < 0.44. We apply the same criteria to the observations and simulations to identify over-and under-dense large-scale features of the galaxy distribution. The richness and size distributions of observed over-dense structures agree well with the simulated ones. Observations and simulations also agree for the volume and size distributions of under-dense structures, voids. The properties of the largest over-dense structure and the largest void in HectoMAP are well within the distributions for the largest structures drawn from 300 Horizon Run 4 mock surveys. Overall the size, richness and volume distributions of observed large-scale structures in the redshift range 0.22 < z < 0.44 are remarkably consistent with predictions of the standard Lambda CDM model.</P>

An evaluation of the exposure in nadir observation of the JEM-EUSO mission
Adams, J.H.,Ahmad, S.,Albert, J.N.,Allard, D.,Ambrosio, M.,Anchordoqui, L.,Anzalone, A.,Arai, Y.,Aramo, C.,Asano, K.,Ave, M.,Barrillon, P.,Batsch, T.,Bayer, J.,Belenguer, T.,Bellotti, R.,Berlind, A.A. North-Holland ; Elsevier Science Ltd 2013 Astroparticle physics Vol.44 No.-
We evaluate the exposure during nadir observations with JEM-EUSO, the Extreme Universe Space Observatory, on-board the Japanese Experiment Module of the International Space Station. Designed as a mission to explore the extreme energy Universe from space, JEM-EUSO will monitor the Earth's nighttime atmosphere to record the ultraviolet light from tracks generated by extensive air showers initiated by ultra-high energy cosmic rays. In the present work, we discuss the particularities of space-based observation and we compute the annual exposure in nadir observation. The results are based on studies of the expected trigger aperture and observational duty cycle, as well as, on the investigations of the effects of clouds and different types of background light. We show that the annual exposure is about one order of magnitude higher than those of the presently operating ground-based observatories.
