Exploring the Variable Sky with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Branimir Sesar, Zeljko Ivezic, Robert H. Lupton +29
We quantify the variability of faint unresolved optical sources using a catalog based on multiple SDSS imaging observations. The catalog covers SDSS Stripe 82, and contains 58 mill…
SDSS Standard Star Catalog for Stripe 82: the Dawn of Industrial 1% Optical Photometry
Zeljko Ivezic, J. Allyn Smith, Gajus Miknaitis +2
We describe a standard star catalog constructed using multiple SDSS photometric observations (at least four per band, with a median of ten) in the system. The catalog inclu…
An Improved Photometric Calibration of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Imaging Data
N. Padmanabhan, D. J. Schlegel, D. P. Finkbeiner +21
We present an algorithm to photometrically calibrate wide field optical imaging surveys, that simultaneously solves for the calibration parameters and relative stellar fluxes using…
A Systematic Search for High Surface Brightness Giant Arcs in a Sloan Digital Sky Survey Cluster Sample
J. Estrada, J. Annis, H. T. Diehl +8
We present the results of a search for gravitationally-lensed giant arcs conducted on a sample of 825 SDSS galaxy clusters. Both a visual inspection of the images and an automated…
A Survey of Open Clusters in the u'g'r'i'z' Filter System: III. Results for the Cluster NGC 188
Bartosz Fornal, Douglas L. Tucker, J. Allyn Smith +3
We continue our series of papers describing the results of a photometric survey of open star clusters, primarily in the southern hemisphere, taken in the u'g'r'i'z' filter system.…
The Universe on Very Large Scales: A View from the Las Campanas Redshift Survey
D. L. Tucker, H. Lin, S. Shectman
The Las Campanas Redshift Survey (LCRS) is among the first galaxy redshift surveys to sample a reasonably fair volume of the local Universe. On the largest scales (>> 100/h Mpc), t…
