Prime Focus Spectrograph on the Subaru Telescope: Overview of Science Operations
Masayuki Tanaka, Akira Arai, Wanqiu He +30
The paper presents the science operation framework for Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS or 'Onohi'ula in its Hawaiian name) installed at the 8.2m Subaru Telescope on the summit of Mau…
Pioneering high contrast science instruments for planet characterization on giant segmented mirror telescopes
N. Jovanovic, O. Guyon, J. Lozi +36
A suite of science instruments is critical to any high contrast imaging facility, as it defines the science capabilities and observing modes available. SCExAO uses a modular approa…
The Eighth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Data from SDSS-III
III collaboration, Hiroaki Aihara, Carlos Allende Prieto +178
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) started a new phase in August 2008, with new instrumentation and new surveys focused on Galactic structure and chemical evolution, measurements…
Chromospheric Variability in SDSS M Dwarfs. II. Short-Timescale H-alpha Variability
E. A. Kruse, E. Berger, G. R. Knapp +4
[Abridged] We present the first comprehensive study of short-timescale chromospheric H-alpha variability in M dwarfs using the individual 15 min spectroscopic exposures for 52,392…
SEGUE: A Spectroscopic Survey of 240,000 stars with g=14-20
II SEGUE Collaboration, Brian Yanny, Constance Rockosi +2
The SEGUE survey obtained 240,000 moderate resolution (R = 1800) spectra from 3900 - 9000 Angstroms of fainter Milky Way stars (14.0 < g < 20.3) of a wide variety of spectral types…
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…
