Photometric Covariance in Multi-Band Surveys: Understanding the Photometric Error in the SDSS
Ryan Scranton, Andrew J. Connolly, Alexander S. Szalay +5
In this paper we describe a detailed analysis of the photometric uncertainties present within the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) imaging survey based on repeat observations of app…
Batch is back: CasJobs, serving multi-TB data on the Web
William OMullane, Nolan Li, Maria Nieto-Santisteban +3
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) science database describes over 140 million objects and is over 1.5 TB in size. The SDSS Catalog Archive Server (CAS) provides several levels of…
When Database Systems Meet the Grid
Maria A. Nieto-Santisteban, Alexander S. Szalay, Aniruddha R. Thakar +3
We illustrate the benefits of combining database systems and Grid technologies for data-intensive applications. Using a cluster of SQL servers, we reimplemented an existing Grid ap…
Where the Rubber Meets the Sky: Bridging the Gap between Databases and Science
Jim Gray, Alexander S. Szalay
Scientists in all domains face a data avalanche - both from better instruments and from improved simulations. We believe that computer science tools and computer scientists are in…
Scientific Data Management in the Coming Decade
Jim Gray, David T. Liu, Maria Nieto-Santisteban +3
This is a thought piece on data-intensive science requirements for databases and science centers. It argues that peta-scale datasets will be housed by science centers that provide…
There Goes the Neighborhood: Relational Algebra for Spatial Data Search
Jim Gray, Alexander S. Szalay, Aniruddha R. Thakar +5
We explored ways of doing spatial search within a relational database: (1) hierarchical triangular mesh (a tessellation of the sphere), (2) a zoned bucketing system, and (3) repres…
