The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Reverberation Mapping Project: Biases in z>1.46 Redshifts due to Quasar Diversity
K. D. Denney, Keith Horne, W. N. Brandt +5
We use the coadded spectra of 32 epochs of Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Reverberation Mapping Project observations of 482 quasars with z>1.46 to highlight systematic biases in t…
An equatorial ultra iron-poor star identified in BOSS
C. Allende Prieto, E. Fernandez-Alvar, D. S. Aguado +6
We report the discovery of SDSS J131326.89-001941.4, an ultra iron-poor red giant star ([Fe/H] ~ -4.3) with a very high carbon abundance ([C/Fe]~ +2.5). This object is the fifth st…
A connection between extremely strong Damped Lyman-alpha Systems and Lyman-alpha Emitting Galaxies at small impact parameters
P. Noterdaeme, P. Petitjean, I. Paris +5
We present a study of ~100 high redshift (z~2-4) extremely strong damped Lyman-alpha systems (ESDLA, with N(HI)>0.5x10^22 cm^-2) detected in quasar spectra from the Baryon Oscillat…
The Eighth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Data from SDSS-III
III collaboration, Hiroaki Aihara, Carlos Allende Prieto +178
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) started a new phase in August 2008, with new instrumentation and new surveys focused on Galactic structure and chemical evolution, measurements…
A Dusty Mg~II absorber Associated with the Quasar SDSS J003545.13+011441.2
P. Jiang, J. Ge, J. X. Prochaska +3
We report on a dusty Mg~II absorber associated with the quasar SDSSJ003545.13+011441.2 (hereafter J0035+0114) at =1.5501, which is the strongest one among the three Mg~II absorb…
Discovery of superstrong, fading, iron line emission and double-peaked Balmer lines of the galaxy SDSSJ0952+2143 - the light echo of a huge flare
S. Komossa, H. Zhou, T. Wang +9
We report the discovery of superstrong, fading, high-ionization iron line emission in the galaxy SDSSJ095209.56+214313.3 (SDSSJ0952+2143 hereafter), which must have been caused by…
