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…
Detection of Cosmic Magnification with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Ryan Scranton, Brice Menard, Gordon T. Richards +15
We present an 8 sigma detection of cosmic magnification measured by the variation of quasar density due to gravitational lensing by foreground large scale structure. To make this m…
SDSS Catalog of Stars in the Draco Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
Heather A. Rave, Chongshan Zhao, Heidi Jo Newberg +4
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has scanned the entire region containing the Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy to 23rd magnitude in g*. We present a catalog of stars found in a 453…
Higher Order Moments of the Angular Distribution of Galaxies from Early SDSS Data
István Szapudi, Joshua A. Frieman, Roman Scoccimarro +13
We present initial results for counts in cells statistics of the angular distribution of galaxies in early data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We analyze a rectangular s…
The 3D Power Spectrum from Angular Clustering of Galaxies in Early SDSS Data
Scott Dodelson, Vijay K. Narayanan, Max Tegmark +22
Early photometric data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) contain angular positions for 1.5 million galaxies. In companion papers, the angular correlation function and…
Analysis of Systematic Effects and Statistical Uncertainties in Angular Clustering of Galaxies from Early SDSS Data
SDSS Collaboration, Ryan Scranton, David Johnston +21
The angular distribution of galaxies encodes a wealth of information about large scale structure. Ultimately, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) will record the angular positions…
