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…

The 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO (2SLAQ) Luminous Red Galaxy Survey

R. Cannon, M. Drinkwater, A. Edge +29

We present a spectroscopic survey of almost 15,000 candidate intermediate-redshift Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) brighter than i=19.8, observed with 2dF on the Anglo-Australian Tele…

The White Dwarf Luminosity Function from SDSS Imaging Data

Hugh C. Harris, Jeffrey A. Munn, Mukremin Kilic +16

A sample of white dwarfs is selected from SDSS DR3 imaging data using their reduced proper motions, based on improved proper motions from SDSS plus USNO-B combined data. Numerous S…
