The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Monitor Telescope Pipeline

D. L. Tucker, S. Kent, M. W. Richmond +31

The photometric calibration of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is a multi-step process which involves data from three different telescopes: the 1.0-m telescope at the US Naval…

Cosmological Constraints from the SDSS Luminous Red Galaxies

M Tegmark, D Eisenstein, M Strauss +64

We measure the large-scale real-space power spectrum P(k) using luminous red galaxies (LRGs) in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and use this measurement to sharpen constraints…

Nearby Supernova Factory Observations of SN 2005gj: Another Type Ia Supernova in a Massive Circumstellar Envelope

The Nearby Supernova Factory Collaboration, G. Aldering, P. Antilogus +24

We report Nearby Supernova Factory observations of SN 2005gj, the second confirmed case of a "hybrid" Type Ia/IIn supernova. Our early-phase photometry of SN 2005gj shows that the…

Spectroscopic Observations and Analysis of the Unusual Type Ia SN 1999ac

The Supernova Cosmology Project, :, G. Garavini +55

We present optical spectra of the peculiar Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) 1999ac. The data extend from -15 to +42 days with respect to B-band maximum and reveal an event that is unusual…

Merging Galaxies in the SDSS EDR

S. S. Allam, D. L. Tucker, J. A. Smith +5

We present a new catalog of merging galaxies obtained through an automated systematic search routine. The 1479 new pairs of merging galaxies were found in approximately 462 sq deg…
