AbstractLuminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) have old, red stellar populations often interpreted as evidence of a formation scenario in which these galaxies form in a single intense burst of star formation at high redshift. By measuring the average age of LRGs at two different redshifts, one can potentially measure the redshift interval corresponding to a time interval and thus measure the Hubble parameter H(z) ≈ −(1 + z)−1 Δ z/Δt (as in Jimenez & Loeb). The goal of this project is to measure directly the expansion rate of the universe at the redshift range 0.1 < z < 1.0 within 3% precision. We explore the age-dating of Sloan Digital Sky Survey LRGs using the stellar population models of Lick absorption line indices after stacking spectra in redshift bins to increase the signal-to-noise. We also use the method of full spectral fitting to measure the ages of LRGs observed with the Southern Africa Large Telescope (SALT).
