The LSST Data Mining Research Agenda
K. D. Borne, J. Becla, I. Davidson +2
We describe features of the LSST science database that are amenable to scientific data mining, object classification, outlier identification, anomaly detection, image quality assur…
LSST: from Science Drivers to Reference Design and Anticipated Data Products
Željko Ivezić, Steven M. Kahn, J. Anthony Tyson +310
(Abridged) We describe here the most ambitious survey currently planned in the optical, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). A vast array of science will be enabled by a sin…
A Hubble Space Telescope Snapshot Survey of Dynamically Close Galaxy Pairs in the CNOC2 Redshift Survey
D. R. Patton, J. K. Grant, L. Simard +3
We compare the structural properties of two classes of galaxies at intermediate redshift: those in dynamically close galaxy pairs, and those which are isolated. Both samples are se…
Optical Imaging of Very Luminous Infrared Galaxy Systems: Photometric Properties and Late Evolution
Santiago Arribas, Howard Bushouse, Ray A. Lucas +2
A sample of 19 low redshift (0.03z0.07) very luminous infrared galaxy (VLIRG: L[8-1000 m] ) systems (30 galaxies) has been imaged in…
Massive star clusters in ongoing galaxy interactions -- clues to cluster formation
William C. Keel, Kirk D. Borne
We present HST WFPC2 observations, supplemented by ground-based H-alpha data, of the star-cluster populations in two pairs of interacting galaxies, selected for being in very diffe…
Chandra Observations of Extended X-ray Emission in Arp 220
J. C. McDowell, D. L. Clements, S. A. Lamb +7
We resolve the extended X-ray emission from the prototypical ultraluminous infrared galaxy Arp 220. Extended, faint edge-brightened, soft X-ray lobes outside the optical galaxy are…
Chandra Observations of Arp 220: The Nuclear Source
D. L. Clements, J. C. McDowell, S. Shaked +5
We present the first results from 60ks of observations of Arp 220 using the ACIS-S instrument on Chandra. We report the detection of several sources near the galaxy's nucleus, incl…
Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies: Atlas of Near-Infrared Images
H. Bushouse, K. Borne, L. Colina +6
A sample of 27 ultraluminous infrared galaxy (ULIRG) systems has been imaged at 1.6 microns using the HST Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS). These ULIRGs…
HST/WFPC2 Imaging of the QDOT Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxy Sample
D. Farrah, M. Rowan-Robinson, S. Oliver +6
We present HST WFPC2 V band imaging for 23 Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxies taken from the QDOT redshift survey. The fraction of sources observed to be interacting is 87%. Most of t…
HST Observations of Young Star Clusters in Interacting Galaxies
K. D. Borne, W. C. Keel, P. N. Appleton +3
We present early results from the analysis of HST imaging observations for several pairs of interacting galaxies. We include two cases that were specifically chosen to represent a…
The Diverse Population of ULIRGs
K. D. Borne, S. Arribas, H. Bushouse +2
We present results from an on-going Hubble Space Telescope (HST) survey of a large sample of ULIRGs (Ultra-Luminous IR Galaxies). New ground-based observations are now being used t…
The Ultra-Luminous IR Galaxy Population
K. D. Borne, H. Bushouse, L. Colina +2
We summarize results from an on-going Hubble Space Telescope (HST) survey of a large sample of ULIRGs (Ultra-Luminous IR Galaxies). New ground-based multi-fiber spectroscopic obser…
Science User Scenarios for a Virtual Observatory Design Reference Mission: Science Requirements for Data Mining
Kirk D. Borne
The knowledge discovery potential of the new large astronomical databases is vast. When these are used in conjunction with the rich legacy data archives, the opportunities for scie…
Detection and Mapping of Decoupled Stellar and Ionized Gas Structures in the Ultraluminous Infrared Galaxy IRAS 12112+0305
Luis Colina, Santiago Arribas, Kirk D. Borne +1
Integral field optical spectroscopy with the INTEGRAL fiber-fed system and HST optical imaging are used to map the complex stellar and warm ionized gas structure in the ultralumino…
Evidence for Multiple Mergers among Ultraluminous IR Galaxies (ULIRGs): Remnants of Compact Groups?
K. D. Borne, H. Bushouse, R. A. Lucas +1
In a large sample of ULIRGs imaged with HST, we have identified a significant subsample that shows evidence for multiple mergers. The evidence is seen among two classes of ULIRGs:…
