Genus Topology of the Cosmic Microwave Background from the WMAP 3-Year Data
J. Richard Gott, Wesley N. Colley, Chan-Gyung Park +2
We have independently measured the genus topology of the temperature fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background seen in the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) 3-year…
Map Projections Minimizing Distance Errors
J. Richard Gott, Charles Mugnolo, Wesley N. Colley
It is useful to have mathematical criteria for evaluating errors in map projections. The Chebyshev criterion for minimizing rms (root mean square) local scale factor errors for con…
A Rapid Microlensing Event in the Q0957+561 A,B Gravitational Lens System
Wesley N. Colley, Rudolph E. Schild
We re-analyze brightness data sampled intensively over 5 nights at two epochs separated by the quasar lens time delay, to examine the nature of the observed microlensing. We find s…

Wesley N. Colley, J. Richard Gott
We have independently measured the genus topology of the temperature fluctuations in the cosmic microwave background seen by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP). A genu…
Around the Clock Observations of the Q0957+561 A,B Gravitationally Lensed Quasar II: Results for the second observing season
Wesley N. Colley, Rudolph E. Schild, Cristina Abajas +35
We report on an observing campaign in March 2001 to monitor the brightness of the later arriving Q0957+561 B image in order to compare with the previously published brightness obse…
Optical monitoring of the gravitationally lensed quasar Q2237+0305 from APO between June 1995 and January 1998
R. W. Schmidt, T. Kundic, U. -L. Pen +12
We present a data set of images of the gravitationally lensed quasar Q2237+0305, that was obtained at the Apache Point Observatory (APO) between June 1995 and January 1998. Althoug…
