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…
The Hyper Suprime-Cam Software Pipeline
James Bosch, Robert Armstrong, Steven Bickerton +32
In this paper, we describe the optical imaging data processing pipeline developed for the Subaru Telescope's Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) instrument. The HSC Pipeline builds on the prot…
CHIME/FRB Catalog 1 results: statistical cross-correlations with large-scale structure
Masoud Rafiei-Ravandi, Kendrick M. Smith, Dongzi Li +38
The CHIME/FRB Project has recently released its first catalog of fast radio bursts (FRBs), containing 492 unique sources. We present results from angular cross-correlations of CHIM…
The SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Quasar Target Selection
Adam D. Myers, Nathalie Palanque-Delabrouille, Abhishek Prakash +34
As part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) will improve measurements of the cosmological distance scale by applying the…
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…
