AGN torus properties with WISE

Robert Nikutta, Maia Nenkova, Zeljko Ivezic +2

The Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) has scanned the entire sky with unprecedented sensitivity in four infrared bands, at 3.4, 4.6, 12, and 22 micron. The WISE Point Sour…

Variability-based AGN selection using image subtraction in the SDSS and LSST era

Yumi Choi, Robert R. Gibson, Andrew C. Becker +5

With upcoming all sky surveys such as LSST poised to generate a deep digital movie of the optical sky, variability-based AGN selection will enable the construction of highly-comple…

Optical variability of quasars: a damped random walk

Zeljko Ivezic, Chelsea L. MacLeod

A damped random walk is a stochastic process, defined by an exponential covariance matrix that behaves as a random walk for short time scales and asymptotically achieves a finite v…

Optical selection of quasars: SDSS and LSST

Zeljko Ivezic, W. Niel Brandt, Xiaohui Fan +3

Over the last decade, quasar sample sizes have increased from several thousand to several hundred thousand, thanks mostly to SDSS imaging and spectroscopic surveys. LSST, the next-…

All Weather Calibration of Wide Field Optical and NIR Surveys

David L. Burke, Abhijit Saha, Jenna Claver +7

The science goals for ground-based large-area surveys, such as the Dark Energy Survey, Pan-STARRS, and the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope, require calibration of broadband photome…

High-precision 2MASS JHKs light curves and other data for RR Lyrae star SDSS J015450+001501: strong constraints for non-linear pulsation models

R. Szabó, Z. Ivezić, L. L. Kiss +6

We present and discuss an extensive data set for the non-Blazhko ab-type RR Lyrae star SDSSJ015450+001501, including optical SDSS ugriz light curves and spectroscopic data, LINEAR…
