Improved photometry of SDSS crowded field images: Structure and dark matter content in the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Leo I
V. Smolcic, D. Zucker, E. F. Bell +5
We explore how well crowded field point-source photometry can be accomplished with SDSS data: We present a photometric pipeline based on DoPhot, and tuned for analyzing crowded-fie…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Quasar Lens Search. II. Statistical Lens Sample from the Third Data Release
Naohisa Inada, Masamune Oguri, Robert H. Becker +31
We report the first results of our systematic search for strongly lensed quasars using the spectroscopically confirmed quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Among 46,420…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Quasar Lens Search. III. Constraints on Dark Energy from the Third Data Release Quasar Lens Catalog
Masamune Oguri, Naohisa Inada, Michael A. Strauss +31
We present cosmological results from the statistics of lensed quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Quasar Lens Search. By taking proper account of the selection function,…
The Elongated Structure of the Hercules dSph from Deep LBT Imaging
Matthew G. Coleman, Jelte T. A. De Jong, Nicolas F. Martin +16
We present a deep, wide-field photometric survey of the newly-discovered Hercules dwarf spheroidal galaxy, based on data from the Large Binocular Telescope. Images in B, V and r we…
The Luminosity Function of the Milky Way Satellites
S. Koposov, V. Belokurov, N. W. Evans +8
We quantify the detectability of stellar Milky Way satellites in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 5. We show that the effective search volumes for the recently disc…
The accretion origin of the Milky Way's stellar halo
Eric F. Bell, Daniel B. Zucker, Vasily Belokurov +15
We have used data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 5 to explore the overall structure and substructure of the stellar halo of the Milky Way using about 4 milli…
