The FIRST-2MASS Red Quasar Survey II: An anomalously high fraction of LoBALs in searches for dust-reddened quasars

Tanya Urrutia, Robert H. Becker, Richard L. White +4

We present results on a survey to find extremely dust-reddened Type-1 Quasars. Combining the FIRST radio survey, the 2MASS Infrared Survey and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we have…

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…
