The Bright SHARC Survey: The Selection Function and its Impact on the Cluster X-ray Luminosity Function
C. Adami, M. P. Ulmer, A. K. Romer +3
We present the results of a set of simulations designed to quantify the selection function of the Bright SHARC survey for distant clusters. The statistical significance of the simu…
Simulations Applied to the Bright SHARC XCLF: Results and Implications
M. P. Ulmer, C. Adami, R. Pildis +3
We have performed simulations of the effectiveness of the Serendipitous High-redshift Archival ROSAT Cluster (SHARC) survey for various model universes. We find, in agreement with…
The Bright SHARC Survey: The Cluster Catalog
A. K Romer, R. C. Nichol, B. P. Holden +9
We present the Bright SHARC (Serendipitous High-Redshift Archival ROSAT Cluster) Survey, which is an objective search for serendipitously detected extended X-ray sources in 460 dee…
The Bright SHARC Survey: The X-ray Cluster Luminosity Function
R. C. Nichol, A. K. Romer, B. P. Holden +6
We present here initial results on the X-ray Cluster Luminosity Function (XCLF) from the Bright SHARC sample of distant X-ray clusters of galaxies. This sample is 97% complete in i…
Gas-Rich Dwarf Galaxies from the PSS-II --- II. Optical Properties
R. A. Pildis, J. M. Schombert, J. Eder
We describe the optical properties of a sample of 101 gas-rich field dwarf galaxies found on PSS-II (Second Palomar Sky Survey) plates, most newly discovered as part of a survey to…
Gas Rich Dwarfs from the PSS-II I. Catalog and Characteristics
James Schombert, Rachel Pildis, Jo Ann Eder
This project is a visual search for field dwarf galaxies using Second Palomar Sky Survey photographic plates. A morphologically selected sample of 310 objects yielded 145 detection…
