The SDSS Coadd: 275 deg^2 of Deep SDSS Imaging on Stripe 82
James Annis, Marcelle Soares-Santos, Michael A. Strauss +17
We present details of the construction and characterization of the coaddition of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Stripe 82 \ugriz\ imaging data. This survey consists of 275 deg of…
The Metallicity Distribution Functions of SEGUE G and K dwarfs: Constraints for Disk Chemical Evolution and Formation
Katharine J. Schlesinger, Jennifer A. Johnson, Constance M. Rockosi +14
We present the metallicity distribution function (MDF) for 24,270 G and 16,847 K dwarfs at distances from 0.2 to 2.3 kpc from the Galactic plane, based on spectroscopy from the Slo…
Milky Way Tomography IV: Dissecting Dust
Michael Berry, Željko Ivezić, Branimir Sesar +28
We use SDSS photometry of 73 million stars to simultaneously obtain best-fit main-sequence stellar energy distribution (SED) and amount of dust extinction along the line of sight t…
DECam integration tests on telescope simulator
M. Soares-Santos, J. Annis, M. Bonati +31
The Dark Energy Survey (DES) is a next generation optical survey aimed at measuring the expansion history of the universe using four probes: weak gravitational lensing, galaxy clus…
The Dark Energy Survey Data Management System
I. Sevilla, R. Armstrong, E. Bertin +19
The Dark Energy Survey (DES) is a project with the goal of building, installing and exploiting a new 74 CCD-camera at the Blanco telescope, in order to study the nature of cosmic a…
The Dark Energy Survey: Prospects for Resolved Stellar Populations
B. M. Rossetto, B. X. Santiago, L. Girardi +17
Wide angle and deep surveys, regardless of their primary purpose, always sample a large number of stars in the Galaxy and in its satellite system. We here make a forecast of the ex…
