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 Milky Way Tomography with SDSS: II. Stellar Metallicity
Zeljko Ivezic, Branimir Sesar, Mario Juric +50
Using effective temperature and metallicity derived from SDSS spectra for ~60,000 F and G type main sequence stars (0.2<g-r<0.6), we develop polynomial models for estimating these…
The SDSS Discovery of a Strongly Lensed Post-Starburst Galaxy at z=0.766
Min-Su Shin, Michael A. Strauss, Masamune Oguri +4
We present the first result of a survey for strong galaxy-galaxy lenses in Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) images. SDSS J082728.70+223256.4 was selected as a lensing candidate usin…
Optical Cluster-Finding with An Adaptive Matched-Filter Technique: Algorithm and Comparison with Simulations
Feng Dong, Elena Pierpaoli, James E. Gunn +1
We present a modified adaptive matched filter algorithm designed to identify clusters of galaxies in wide-field imaging surveys such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The cluster-fi…
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 (…
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…
