The Catalina Real-time Transient Survey
A. J. Drake, S. G. Djorgovski, A. Mahabal +8
The Catalina Real-time Transient Survey (CRTS) currently covers 33,000 deg^2 of the sky in search of transient astrophysical events, with time baselines ranging from 10 minutes to…
The Discovery and Nature of Optical Transient CSS100217:102913+404220
A. J. Drake, S. G. Djorgovski, A. Mahabal +32
We report on the discovery and observations of the extremely luminous optical transient CSS100217:102913+404220 (CSS100217 hereafter). Spectroscopic observations show this transien…
First Results from the Catalina Real-time Transient Survey
A. J. Drake, S. G. Djorgovski, A. Mahabal +10
We report on the results from the first six months of the Catalina Real-time Transient Survey (CRTS). In order to search for optical transients with timescales of minutes to years,…
Virtual Observatory: From Concept to Implementation
S. G. Djorgovski, R. Williams
We review the origins of the Virtual Observatory (VO) concept, and the current status of the efforts in this field. VO is the response of the astronomical community to the challeng…
Time Domain Explorations With Digital Sky Surveys
A. A. Mahabal, S. G. Djorgovski, M. J. Graham +17
One of the new frontiers of astronomical research is the exploration of time variability on the sky at different wavelengths and flux levels. We have carried out a pilot project us…
Exploring the Time Domain with the Palomar-QUEST Sky Survey
A. Mahabal, S. G. Djorgovski, M. J. Graham +16
Exploration of the time variability on the sky over a broad range of flux levels and wavelengths is rapidly becoming a new frontier of astronomical research. We describe here brief…
