Cleaning the USNO-B Catalog through automatic detection of optical artifacts

Jonathan T. Barron, Christopher Stumm, David W. Hogg +2

The USNO-B Catalog contains spurious entries that are caused by diffraction spikes and circular reflection halos around bright stars in the original imaging data. These spurious en…

Hierarchical probabilistic inference of cosmic shear

Michael D. Schneider, David W. Hogg, Philip J. Marshall +4

Point estimators for the shearing of galaxy images induced by gravitational lensing involve a complex inverse problem in the presence of noise, pixelization, and model uncertaintie…

Astro2020 APC White Paper: The MegaMapper: a z > 2 spectroscopic instrument for the study of Inflation and Dark Energy

David J. Schlegel, Juna A. Kollmeier, Greg Aldering +74

MegaMapper is a proposed ground-based experiment to measure Inflation parameters and Dark Energy from galaxy redshifts at 2<z<5. A 6.5-m Magellan telescope will be coupled with DES…
