A Description of Quasar Variability Measured Using Repeated SDSS and POSS Imaging
Chelsea L. MacLeod, Zeljko Ivezic, Branimir Sesar +9
We provide a quantitative description and statistical interpretation of the optical continuum variability of quasars. The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has obtained repeated imag…
Milky Way Tomography IV: Dissecting Dust
Michael Berry, Željko Ivezić, Branimir Sesar +28
We use SDSS photometry of 73 million stars to simultaneously obtain best-fit main-sequence stellar energy distribution (SED) and amount of dust extinction along the line of sight t…
Exploring the Variable Sky with LINEAR. I. Photometric Recalibration with SDSS
Branimir Sesar, J. Scott Stuart, Željko Ivezić +3
We describe photometric recalibration of data obtained by the asteroid survey LINEAR. Although LINEAR was designed for astrometric discovery of moving objects, the dataset describe…
SN2010jp (PTF10aaxi): A Jet-Driven Type II Supernova
Nathan Smith, S. Bradley Cenko, Nat Butler +18
We present photometry and spectroscopy of the peculiar TypeII supernova (SN) 2010jp, also named PTF10aaxi. The light curve exhibits a linear decline with a relatively low peak abso…
PTF1 J071912.13+485834.0: An outbursting AM CVn system discovered by a synoptic survey
David Levitan, Benjamin J. Fulton, Paul J. Groot +14
We present extensive photometric and spectroscopic observations of PTF1 J071912.13+485834.0, an outbursting AM CVn system discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF). AM CVn…
Mapping the Galactic Halo with SDSS, LINEAR and PTF RR Lyrae Stars
Branimir Sesar
We present an analysis of Galactic halo structure and substructure traced by ~500 RR Lyrae stars in the SDSS stripe 82 region. The main result of this study is a 2D map of the Gala…
