Cosmic Data Fusion

S. L. Bridle

We compare and combine likelihood functions of the cosmological parameters Omega_m, h and sigma_8 from the CMB, type Ia supernovae and from probes of large scale structure. We incl…

Colors of 2625 Quasars at 0<z<5 Measured in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Photometric System

Gordon T. Richards, Xiaohui Fan, Donald P. Schneider +3

We present an empirical investigation of the colors of quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) photometric system. The sample studied includes 2625 quasars with SDSS photome…

Database of Geneva stellar evolution tracks and isochrones for UBVRIJHKLL'M, HST-WFPC2, Geneva and Washington photometric systems

Thibault Lejeune, Daniel Schaerer

We have used an updated version of the empirically and semi-empirically calibrated BaSeL library of synthetic stellar spectra of Lejeune et al. (1997, 1998) and Westera et al. (199…
