Foreground Predictions for the Cosmic Microwave Background Power Spectrum from Measurements of Faint Inverted Radio Sources at 5 GHz

Michael D. Schneider, Robert H. Becker, Willem de Vries +1

We present measurements of a population of matched radio sources at 1.4 and 5 GHz down to a flux limit of 1.5 mJy in 7 sq. degs. of the NOAO Deep Field South. We find a significant…

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…

Quasar Selection Based on Photometric Variability

C. L. MacLeod, K. Brooks, Z. Ivezic +7

We develop a method for separating quasars from other variable point sources using SDSS Stripe 82 light curve data for ~10,000 variable objects. To statistically describe quasar va…

Modeling the Time Variability of SDSS Stripe 82 Quasars as a Damped Random Walk

C. L. MacLeod, Ž. Ivezić, C. S. Kochanek +10

We model the time variability of ~9,000 spectroscopically confirmed quasars in SDSS Stripe 82 as a damped random walk. Using 2.7 million photometric measurements collected over 10…

The Transitional Stripped-Envelope SN 2008ax: Spectral Evolution and Evidence for Large Asphericity

R. Chornock, A. V. Filippenko, W. Li +19

Supernova (SN) 2008ax in NGC 4490 was discovered within hours after shock breakout, presenting the rare opportunity to study a core-collapse SN beginning with the initial envelope-…

Lower bounds on photometric redshift errors from Type Ia supernovae templates

S. Asztalos, S. Nikolaev, W. de Vries +3

Cosmology with Type Ia supernovae heretofore has required extensive spectroscopic follow-up to establish a redshift. Though tolerable at the present discovery rate, the next genera…
