Mining archival data from wide-field astronomical surveys in search of near-Earth objects
Teymoor Saifollahi, Gijs Verdoes Kleijn, Rees Williams +5
Increasing our knowledge of the orbits and compositions of Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) is important for a better understanding of the evolution of the Solar System and of life. The d…
The SAMI Galaxy Survey: The cluster redshift survey, target selection and cluster properties
M. S. Owers, J. T. Allen, I. Baldry +40
We describe the selection of galaxies targeted in eight low redshift clusters (APMCC0917, A168, A4038, EDCC442, A3880, A2399, A119 and A85; ) as part of the Sydn…
The first and second data releases of the Kilo-Degree Survey
Jelte T. A. de Jong, Gijs A. Verdoes Kleijn, Danny R. Boxhoorn +46
The Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS) is an optical wide-field imaging survey carried out with the VLT Survey Telescope and the OmegaCAM camera. KiDS will image 1500 square degrees in four…
Gravitational Lensing Analysis of the Kilo Degree Survey
Konrad Kuijken, Catherine Heymans, Hendrik Hildebrandt +32
The Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS) is a multi-band imaging survey designed for cosmological studies from weak lensing and photometric redshifts. It uses the ESO VLT Survey Telescope wit…
The Astro-WISE approach to quality control for astronomical data
J. P. McFarland, E. M. Helmich, E. A. Valentijn
We present a novel approach to quality control during the processing of astronomical data. Quality control in the Astro-WISE Information System is integral to all aspects of data h…
The Astro-WISE Optical Image Pipeline: Development and Implementation
J. P. McFarland, G. Verdoes-Kleijn, G. Sikkema +3
We have designed and implemented a novel way to process wide-field astronomical data within a distributed environment of hardware resources and humanpower. The system is characteri…
Astro-WISE: Chaining to the Universe
Edwin A. Valentijn, John P. McFarland, Jan Snigula +18
The recent explosion of recorded digital data and its processed derivatives threatens to overwhelm researchers when analysing their experimental data or when looking up data items…
