The HST See Change Program: I. Survey Design, Pipeline, and Supernova Discoveries
Brian Hayden, David Rubin, Kyle Boone +53
The See Change survey was designed to make cosmological measurements by efficiently discovering high-redshift Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and improving cluster mass measureme…
Optical and Near-IR Imaging of Ultra Steep Spectrum Radio Sources - The K-z diagram of radio and optically selected galaxies
Carlos De Breuck, Wil van Breugel, Adam Stanford +3
We present optical and/or near-IR images of 128 ultra steep spectrum (USS) radio sources. Roughly half of the objects are identified in the optical images (R <~ 24), while in the n…
The Infrared Luminosity Function of Galaxies in the Coma Cluster
Roberto De Propris, Peter R. Eisenhardt, Adam Stanford +1
An infrared survey of the central 650 arcmin of the Coma cluster is used to determine the band luminosity function for the cluster. Redshifts are available for all galaxies…
Very High Redshift Radio Galaxies
Wil van Breugel, Carlos De Breuck, Huub Rottgering +2
High redshift radio galaxies (HzRGs) provide unique targets for the study of the formation and evolution of massive galaxies and galaxy clusters at very high redshifts. We discuss…
WISE Discovery of Hyper Luminous Galaxies at z=2-4 and Their Implications for Galaxy and AGN Evolution
Chao-Wei Tsai, Peter Eisenhardt, Jingwen Wu +14
On behalf of the WISE Science team, we present the discovery of a class of distant dust-enshrouded galaxies with extremely high luminosity. These galaxies are selected to have extr…
Ultra-Steep Spectrum Radio Galaxies at Hy Redshifts
Wil van Breugel, Carlos De Breuck, Adam Stanford +5
Radio sources have traditionally provided convenient beacons for probing the early Universe. Hy Spinrad was among the first of the tenacious breed of observers who would attempt to…
X-ray Properties of SPT Selected Galaxy Clusters at 0.2<z<1.5 Observed with XMM-Newton
Esra Bulbul, I-Non Chiu, Joseph J. Mohr +22
We present measurements of the X-ray observables of the intra-cluster medium (ICM), including luminosity , ICM mass , emission-weighted mean temperature , and in…
Spectroscopy of Ultra Steep Spectrum Radio Sources
Carlos De Breuck, Wil van Breugel, Huub Rottgering +6
We present optical spectroscopy of 62 objects selected from several samples of ultra steep spectrum (USS) radio sources. 46 of these are from our primary catalog, consisting of 669…
Addressing Decadal Survey Science through Community Access to Highly Multiplexed Spectroscopy with BigBOSS on the KPNO Mayall Telescope
Caty Pilachowski, Carles Badenes, Stephen Bailey +87
This document summarizes the results of a community-based discussion of the potential science impact of the Mayall+BigBOSS highly multiplexed multi-object spectroscopic capability.…
A Large Population of High Redshift Galaxy Clusters in the IRAC Shallow Cluster Survey
Mark Brodwin, Peter R. Eisenhardt, Anthony H. Gonzalez +6
We have identified 335 galaxy cluster and group candidates spanning 0<z<2, using a 4.5um selected sample of galaxies in a 7.25 deg^2 region in the Spitzer/IRAC Shallow Survey. Usin…
LSST Science Book, Version 2.0
LSST Science Collaboration, Paul A. Abell, Julius Allison +245
A survey that can cover the sky in optical bands over wide fields to faint magnitudes with a fast cadence will enable many of the exciting science opportunities of the next decade.…
The Synoptic All-Sky Infrared (SASIR) Survey
Joshua S. Bloom, J. Xavier Prochaska, William Lee +42
We are proposing to conduct a multicolor, synoptic infrared (IR) imaging survey of the Northern sky with a new, dedicated 6.5-meter telescope at San Pedro Mártir (SPM) Observatory…
