The BOSS Emission-Line Lens Survey (BELLS). I. A large spectroscopically selected sample of Lens Galaxies at redshift ~ 0.5
Joel R. Brownstein, Adam S. Bolton, David J. Schlegel +11
We present a catalog of 25 definite and 11 probable strong galaxy-galaxy gravitational lens systems with redshifts 0.4 \lesssim z \lesssim 0.7, discovered spectroscopically by the…
Milky Way Tomography IV: Dissecting Dust
Michael Berry, Željko Ivezić, Branimir Sesar +28
We use SDSS photometry of 73 million stars to simultaneously obtain best-fit main-sequence stellar energy distribution (SED) and amount of dust extinction along the line of sight t…
Non-Blazhko RR Lyrae Stars Observed with the KEPLER Space Telescope
J. M. Nemec, R. Smolec, J. M. Benko +22
This paper summarizes the main results of our recent study of the non-Blazhko RR Lyrae stars observed with the Kepler space telescope. These stars offer the opportunity for studyin…
PRIMUS: The dependence of AGN accretion on host stellar mass and color
James Aird, Alison L. Coil, John Moustakas +7
We present evidence that the incidence of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and the distribution of their accretion rates do not depend on the stellar masses of their host galaxies, co…
Fourier analysis of non-Blazhko ab-type RR Lyrae stars observed with the Kepler space telescope
J. M. Nemec, R. Smolec, J. M. Benko +22
Nineteen of the ~40 RR Lyr stars in the Kepler field have been identified as candidate non-Blazhko (or unmodulated) stars. In this paper we present the results of Fourier decomposi…
The SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Quasar Target Selection for Data Release Nine
Nicholas P. Ross, Adam D. Myers, Erin S. Sheldon +36
The SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), a five-year spectroscopic survey of 10,000 deg^2, achieved first light in late 2009. One of the key goals of BOSS is to…
