LOTIS, Super-LOTIS, SDSS and Tautenburg Observations of GRB 010921
H. S. Park, G. G. Williams, D. H. Hartmann +36
We present multi-instrument optical observations of the High Energy Transient Explorer (HETE-2)/Interplanetary Network (IPN) error box of GRB 010921. This event was the first gamma…
The Ghost of Sagittarius and Lumps in the Halo of the Milky Way
Heidi Jo Newberg, Brian Yanny, Constance M. Rockosi +16
We identify new structures in the halo of the Milky Way Galaxy from positions, colors and magnitudes of five million stars detected in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Most of these s…
Higher Order Moments of the Angular Distribution of Galaxies from Early SDSS Data
István Szapudi, Joshua A. Frieman, Roman Scoccimarro +13
We present initial results for counts in cells statistics of the angular distribution of galaxies in early data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We analyze a rectangular s…
SDSS J124602.54+011318.8: A Highly Luminous Optical Transient at z=0.385
D. E. Vanden Berk, B. C. Lee, B. C. Wilhite +13
We report the discovery of a highly luminous optical transient (OT), SDSS J124602.54+011318.8, associated with a galaxy at a redshift of 0.385. In this paper we consider the possib…
The Angular Clustering of Galaxy Pairs
Leopoldo Infante, Michael A. Strauss, Neta A. Bahcall +13
We identify close pairs of galaxies from 278 deg^2 of Sloan Digital Sky Survey commissioning imaging data. The pairs are drawn from a sample of 330,041 galaxies with 18 < r^* < 20.…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Quasar Catalog I. Early Data Release
Donald P. Schneider, Gordon T. Richards, Xiaohui Fan +9
We present the first edition of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Quasar Catalog. The catalog consists of the 3814 objects (3000 discovered by the SDSS) in the initial SDSS publi…
