Two More Candidate AM Canum Venaticorum (AM CVn) Binaries from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

S. F. Anderson, A. C. Becker, D. Haggard +18

AM CVn systems are a select group of ultracompact binaries with the shortest orbital periods of any known binary subclass; mass-transfer is likely from a low-mass (partially-)degen…

Estimating the Redshift Distribution of Faint Galaxy Samples

Marcos Lima, Carlos E. Cunha, Hiroaki Oyaizu +3

We present an empirical method for estimating the underlying redshift distribution N(z) of galaxy photometric samples from photometric observables. The method does not rely on phot…

Cross-correlation Weak Lensing of SDSS galaxy Clusters II: Cluster Density Profiles and the Mass--Richness Relation

David E. Johnston, Erin S. Sheldon, Risa H. Wechsler +7

We interpret and model the statistical weak lensing measurements around 130,000 groups and clusters of galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey presented by Sheldon et al. 2007 (Pa…

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II Supernova Survey: Search Algorithm and Follow-up Observations

Masao Sako, B. Bassett, A. Becker +47

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II Supernova Survey has identified a large number of new transient sources in a 300 sq. deg. region along the celestial equator during its first two se…
