New Approaches to Object Classification in Synoptic Sky Surveys
C. Donalek, A. Mahabal, S. G. Djorgovski +5
Digital synoptic sky surveys pose several new object classification challenges. In surveys where real-time detection and classification of transient events is a science driver, the…
An Exploratory Search for z~6 Quasars in the UKIDSS Early Data Release
Eilat Glikman, Alexander Eigenbrod, S. G. Djorgovski +4
We conducted an exploratory search for quasars at z~ 6 - 8, using the Early Data Release from United Kingdom Infrared Deep Sky survey (UKIDSS) cross-matched to panoramic optical im…
The Palomar-Quest Digital Synoptic Sky Survey
S. G. Djorgovski, C. Baltay, A. A. Mahabal +10
We describe briefly the Palomar-Quest (PQ) digital synoptic sky survey, including its parameters, data processing, status, and plans. Exploration of the time domain is now the cent…
The FIRST-2MASS Red Quasar Survey
Eilat Glikman, David J. Helfand, Richard L. White +3
Combining radio observations with optical and infrared color selection -- demonstrated in our pilot study to be an efficient selection algorithm for finding red quasars -- we have…
Discovery of a Probable Physical Triple Quasar
S. G. Djorgovski, F. Courbin, G. Meylan +4
We report the discovery of the first known probable case of a physical triple quasar (not a gravitational lens). A previously known double system, QQ 1429-008 at z = 2.076, is show…
Signals from the Noise: Image Stacking for Quasars in the FIRST Survey
Richard L. White, David J. Helfand, Robert H. Becker +2
We present a technique to explore the radio sky into the nanoJansky regime by employing image stacking using the FIRST survey. We first discuss the non-intuitive relationship betwe…
