The Cut & Enhance method : selecting clusters of galaxies from the SDSS commissioning data
Tomotsugu Goto, Maki Sekiguchi, Robert C. Nichol +8
We describe an automated method, the Cut & Enhance method (CE) for detecting clusters of galaxies in multi-color optical imaging surveys. This method uses simple color cuts, combin…
VLT observations of the z=6.28 quasar SDSS 1030+0524
L. Pentericci, X. Fan, H. W. Rix +9
We present new VLT spectroscopic observations of the most distant quasar known, SDSS J1030+0524 at z=6.28 which was recently discovered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We confirm…
Keck Spectroscopy and HST Imaging of GRB 000926: Probing a Host Galaxy at z = 2. 038
S. Castro, T. J. Galama, F. A. Harrison +4
We present early-time Keck spectroscopic observations and late-time Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging of GRB 000926. The HST images show a small offset between the optical trans…
Astrometry with Hubble Space Telescope: A Parallax of the Fundamental Distance Calibrator RR Lyrae
G. Fritz Benedict, B. E. McArthur, L. W. Fredrick +16
We present an absolute parallax and relative proper motion for the fundamental distance scale calibrator, RR Lyr. We obtain these with astrometric data from FGS 3, a white-light in…
LCDM-based models for the Milky Way and M31 I: Dynamical Models
Anatoly Klypin, HongSheng Zhao, Rachel S. Somerville
We apply standard disk formation theory with adiabatic contraction within cuspy halo models predicted by the standard LCDM cosmology. The resulting models score remarkably well whe…
Cataclysmic Variables from SDSS I. The First Results
P. Szkody, S. F. Anderson, M. Agueros +27
The commissioning year of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey has demonstrated that many cataclysmic variables have been missed in previous surveys with brighter limits. We report the ide…
