APOGEE: The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment
C. Allende Prieto, S. R. Majewski, R. Schiavon +8
APOGEE is a large-scale, NIR, high-resolution (R~20,000) spectroscopic survey of Galactic stars. It is one of the four experiments in SDSS-III. Because APOGEE will observe in the H…
Delving Deeper into the Tumultuous Lives of Galactic Dwarfs: Modeling Star Formation Histories
Chris Orban, Oleg Y. Gnedin, Daniel R. Weisz +3
The paucity of observed dwarf galaxies in the Local Group relative to the abundance of predicted dark matter halos remains one of the greatest puzzles of the LCDM paradigm. Solving…
CLOUDS search for variability in brown dwarf atmospheres
B. Goldman, M. C. Cushing, M. S. Marley +21
Context: L-type ultra-cool dwarfs and brown dwarfs have cloudy atmospheres that could host weather-like phenomena. The detection of photometric or spectral variability would provid…
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…
A Comparison of SDSS Standard Star Catalog for Stripe 82 with Stetson's Photometric Standards
Z. Ivezic, J. A. Smith, G. Miknaitis +21
We compare Stetson's photometric standards with measurements listed in a standard star catalog constructed using repeated SDSS imaging observations. The SDSS catalog includes over…
The First Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
The SDSS collaboration, Kevork Abazajian
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has validated and made publicly available its First Data Release. This consists of 2099 square degrees of five-band (u, g, r, i, z) imaging data, 186,2…
