We present a census of the 12,060 spectra of blue objects () in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 8 (DR8). As part of the data release, all of the spe…
Fixing the Reference Frame for PPMXL Proper Motions Using Extragalactic Sources
Kathleen Grabowski, Jeffrey L. Carlin, Heidi Jo Newberg +14
We quantify and correct systematic errors in PPMXL proper motions using extragalactic sources from the first two LAMOST data releases and the Veron-Cetty & Veron Catalog of Quasars…
The K giant stars from the LAMOST survey data I: identification, metallicity, and distance
Chao Liu, Li-Cai Deng, Jeffrey L. Carlin +10
We present a support vector machine classifier to identify the K giant stars from the LAMOST survey directly using their spectral line features. The completeness of the identificat…
