Using 21cm Absorption in Small Impact Parameter Galaxy-QSO Pairs to Probe Low-Redshift Damped and Sub-Damped Lyman-alpha System

Sanchayeeta Borthakur, Todd M. Tripp, Min S. Yun +4

To search for low-redshift damped Lyman-alpha (DLA) and sub-DLA quasar absorbers, we have conducted a 21cm absorption survey of radio-loud quasars at small impact parameters to for…

Optically Selected BL Lacertae Candidates from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release Seven

Richard M. Plotkin, S. F. Anderson, W. N. Brandt +18

We present a sample of 723 optically selected BL Lac candidates from the SDSS DR7 spectroscopic database encompassing 8250 deg^2 of sky; our sample constitutes one of the largest u…

Studies of the Diffuse Interstellar Bands. III. HD 183143

L. M. Hobbs, D. G. York, J. A. Thorburn +8

Echelle spectra of HD 183143 [B7Iae, E(B-V) = 1.27] were obtained on three nights, at a resolving power R = 38,000 and with a signal-to-noise ratio ~1000 at 6400 A in the final, co…

First-year Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II (SDSS-II) Supernova Results: Hubble Diagram and Cosmological Parameters

Richard Kessler, Andrew Becker, David Cinabro +43

We present measurements of the Hubble diagram for 103 Type Ia supernovae (SNe) with redshifts 0.04 < z < 0.42, discovered during the first season (Fall 2005) of the Sloan Digital S…

A Search for Oxygen in the Low-Density Lyman-alpha Forest Using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

Matthew M. Pieri, Stephan Frank, Smita Mathur +3

We use 2167 Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) quasar spectra to search for low-density oxygen in the Intergalactic Medium (IGM). Oxygen absorption is detected on a pixel-by-pixel bas…

Cosmological Constraints from the Clustering of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey DR7 Luminous Red Galaxies

Beth A. Reid, Will J. Percival, Daniel J. Eisenstein +25

We present the power spectrum of the reconstructed halo density field derived from a sample of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Seventh Data Release (…
