The Cut & Enhance method : selecting clusters of galaxies from the SDSS commissioning data
Tomotsugu Goto, Maki Sekiguchi, Robert C. Nichol +8
We describe an automated method, the Cut & Enhance method (CE) for detecting clusters of galaxies in multi-color optical imaging surveys. This method uses simple color cuts, combin…
VLT observations of the z=6.28 quasar SDSS 1030+0524
L. Pentericci, X. Fan, H. W. Rix +9
We present new VLT spectroscopic observations of the most distant quasar known, SDSS J1030+0524 at z=6.28 which was recently discovered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We confirm…
The XMM-Newton Serendipitous Survey. II. First results from the AXIS high galactic latitude medium sensitivity survey
X. Barcons, F. J. Carrera, M. G. Watson +25
We present the first results on the identifications of a medium sensitivity survey (X-ray flux limit 2E-14 erg/cm2/s in the 0.5-4.5 keV band) at high galactic latitude (|b|>20 deg)…
The Chandra Deep Field South: the 1 Million Second
P. Rosati, P. Tozzi, R. Giacconi +16
We present the main results from our 940 ksec observation of the Chandra Deep Field South (CDFS), using the source catalog described in an accompanying paper (Giacconi et al. 2001)…
A new wide pair of cool white dwarfs in the Solar neighbourhood
R. -D. Scholz, G. P. Szokoly, M. Andersen +2
We report the discovery of a wide pair (93 arcsec angular separation) of extremely cool ( K) white dwarfs with a very large common proper motion ( arcsec/yr)…
Photometric Redshifts of Quasars
Gordon T. Richards, Michael A. Weinstein, Donald P. Schneider +3
We demonstrate that the design of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) filter system and the quality of the SDSS imaging data are sufficient for determining accurate and precise pho…
