The Ghost of Sagittarius and Lumps in the Halo of the Milky Way
Heidi Jo Newberg, Brian Yanny, Constance M. Rockosi +16
We identify new structures in the halo of the Milky Way Galaxy from positions, colors and magnitudes of five million stars detected in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Most of these s…
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…
SDSS J124602.54+011318.8: A Highly Luminous Optical Transient at z=0.385
D. E. Vanden Berk, B. C. Lee, B. C. Wilhite +13
We report the discovery of a highly luminous optical transient (OT), SDSS J124602.54+011318.8, associated with a galaxy at a redshift of 0.385. In this paper we consider the possib…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Quasar Catalog I. Early Data Release
Donald P. Schneider, Gordon T. Richards, Xiaohui Fan +9
We present the first edition of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Quasar Catalog. The catalog consists of the 3814 objects (3000 discovered by the SDSS) in the initial SDSS publi…
Early-type galaxies in the SDSS
M. Bernardi, R. K. Sheth, J. Annis +28
A sample of nearly 9000 early-type galaxies, in the redshift range 0.01<z<0.3, was selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey using morphological and spectral criteria. The sample…
Gamma-Ray Bursts as a Probe of Cosmology
Donald Q. Lamb, Daniel E. Reichart
We show that, if the long GRBs are produced by the collapse of massive stars, GRBs and their afterglows may provide a powerful probe of cosmology and the early universe.
