The propagation of uncertainties in stellar population synthesis modeling II: The challenge of comparing galaxy evolution models to observations

Charlie Conroy, Martin White, James E. Gunn

Models for the formation and evolution of galaxies readily predict physical properties such as the star formation rates, metal enrichment histories, and, increasingly, gas and dust…

The propagation of uncertainties in stellar population synthesis modeling I: The relevance of uncertain aspects of stellar evolution and the IMF to the derived physical properties of galaxies

Charlie Conroy, James E. Gunn, Martin White

The stellar masses, mean ages, metallicities, and star formation histories of galaxies are now commonly estimated via stellar population synthesis (SPS) techniques. SPS relies on s…

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II Supernova Survey: Technical Summary

Joshua A. Frieman, B. Bassett, A. Becker +98

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II (SDSS-II) has embarked on a multi-year project to identify and measure light curves for intermediate-redshift (0.05 < z < 0.35) Type Ia supernovae (…

Chandra Observations of the Highest Redshift Quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

Ohad Shemmer, W. N. Brandt, Donald P. Schneider +7

We present new Chandra observations of 21 z>4 quasars, including 11 sources at z>5. These observations double the number of X-ray detected quasars at z>5, allowing investigation of…

Comparison of Asteroids Observed in the SDSS with a Catalog of Known Asteroids

M. Juric, Z. Ivezic, H. R. Lupton +2

We positionally correlate asteroids from existing catalogs with a sample of $\about$18,000 asteroids detected by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS, Ivezić {\em et al.} 2001). We f…
