Extreme BAL Quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Patrick B. Hall, J. E. Gunn, G. R. Knapp +16
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has discovered a population of broad absorption line quasars with various extreme properties. Many show absorption from metastable states of FeII with…
Comparing the SBF Survey Velocity Field with the Gravity Field from Redshift Surveys
J. P. Blakeslee, M. Davis, J. L. Tonry +2
We compare the predicted local peculiar velocity field from the IRAS 1.2 Jy flux-limited redshift survey and the Optical Redshift Survey (ORS) to the measured peculiar velocities f…
The Supergalactic Plane revisited with the Optical Redshift Survey
O. Lahav, B. X. Santiago, A. M. Webster +4
We re-examine the existence and extent of the planar structure in the local galaxy density field, the so-called Supergalactic Plane (SGP). This structure is studied here in three d…
Resolving the Stellar Populations in a z=4.04 Lensed Galaxy
A. J. Bunker, L. A. Moustakas, M. Davis +3
We have recently obtained deep near-IR Keck imaging of a newly-discovered z=4.04 galaxy (Frye & Broadhurst 1998). This is lensed by the rich foreground cluster Abell 2390 (z=0.23)…
