Cosmic Structure Traced by Precision Measurements of the X-Ray Brightest Galaxy Clusters in the Sky

Thomas H. Reiprich, Craig L. Sarazin, Joshua C. Kempner +4

The current status of our efforts to trace cosmic structure with 10^6 galaxies (2MASS), 10^3 galaxy clusters (NORAS II cluster survey), and precision measurements for 10^2 galaxy c…

The 2MASS Wide-Field T Dwarf Search. I. Discovery of a Bright T Dwarf Within 10 pc of the Sun

Adam J. Burgasser, J. Davy Kirkpatrick, Michael W. McElwain +3

We present the discovery of a bright (J = 13.940.03) T dwarf, 2MASS 1503+2525, identified in a new, wide-field search for T dwarfs using the recently completed Two Micron All…

Analysis of the diffuse near-IR emission from 2MASS deep integration data: foregrounds vs the cosmic infrared background

S. Odenwald, A. Kashlinsky, J. C. Mather +2

This is one of two papers in which we report the detection of structure in the cosmic infrared background (CIB) between 1.25 - 2.2 micron through the use of data from the Two Micro…

Detection of small scale fluctuations in the near-IR cosmic infrared background from long exposure 2MASS fields

A. Kashlinsky, S. Odenwald, J. Mather +2

We report first results for the cosmic infrared background (CIB) fluctuations at 1.25, 1.65 and 2.17 micron obtained from long exposures constructed from 2MASS standard star fields…

Astrometry with Hubble Space Telescope: A Parallax of the Fundamental Distance Calibrator delta Cephei

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, delta Cep. We obtain these with astrometric data from FGS 3, a white-light…

Near-Infrared Photometric Variability of Stars Toward the Chamaeleon I Molecular Cloud

John M. Carpenter, Lynne A. Hillenbrand, M. F. Skrutskie +1

We present the results of a J, H, and K_s photometric monitoring campaign of a 0.72 x 6 sq deg. area centered on the Chamaeleon I star forming region. Data were obtained on 15 sepa…
