Early-Time Observations of the GRB 050319 Optical Transient
R. M. Quimby, E. S. Rykoff, S. A. Yost +18
We present the unfiltered ROTSE-III light curve of the optical transient associated with GRB 050319 beginning 4 s after the cessation of gamma-ray activity. We fit a power-law func…
A Catalog of 1022 Bright Contact Binary Stars
S. J. Gettel, M. T. Geske, T. A. McKay
In this work we describe a large new sample of contact binary stars extracted in a uniform manner from sky patrol data taken by the ROTSE-I telescope. Extensive ROTSE-I light curve…
Prompt Optical Detection of GRB 050401 with ROTSE-IIIa
E. S. Rykoff, S. A. Yost, H. A. Krimm +20
The ROTSE-IIIa telescope at Siding Spring Observatory, Australia, detected prompt optical emission from Swift GRB 050401. In this letter, we present observations of the early optic…
The Fourth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
J. K. Adelman-McCarthy et al.
This paper describes the fourth data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), including all survey-quality data taken through June 2004. The data release includes five-band…
Cross-Correlation Lensing: Determining Galaxy and Cluster Mass Profiles from Statistical Weak Lensing Measurements
David E. Johnston, Erin S. Sheldon, Argyro Tasitsiomi +3
We present a new non-parametric method for determining mean 3D density and mass profiles from weak lensing measurements around stacked samples of galaxies or clusters, that is, fro…
A Search for Untriggered GRB Afterglows with ROTSE-III
E. S. Rykoff, F. Aharonian, C. W. Akerlof +17
We present the results of a search for untriggered gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows with the Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment-III (ROTSE-III) telescope array. This searc…
