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…
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…
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…
Automated Probabilistic Classification of Transients and Variables
A. A. Mahabal, S. G. Djorgovski, M. Turmon +6
There is an increasing number of large, digital, synoptic sky surveys, in which repeated observations are obtained over large areas of the sky in multiple epochs. Likewise, there i…
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…
