Spectral Evolution in High Redshift Quasars from the Final BOSS Sample

Trey W. Jensen, M. Vivek, Kyle S. Dawson +17

We report on the diversity in quasar spectra from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey. After filtering the spectra to mitigate selection effects and Malmquist bias associat…

The Composite Spectrum of BOSS Quasars Selected for Studies of the Lyman-alpha Forest

David W. Harris, Trey W. Jensen, Nao Suzuki +12

The Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) has collected more than 150,000 quasar spectra since 2009. Using this unprecedented sample, we create a com…

Constraints on Type Ia Supernova Progenitor Companions from Early Ultraviolet Observations with Swift

Peter J. Brown, Kyle S. Dawson, David W. Harris +3

We compare early ultraviolet (UV) observations of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) with theoretical predictions for the brightness of the shock associated with the collision between SN…

Scaling Relations and Overabundance of Massive Clusters at z>~1 from Weak-Lensing Studies with HST

M. J. Jee, K. S. Dawson, H. Hoekstra +22

We present weak gravitational lensing analysis of 22 high-redshift (z >~1) clusters based on Hubble Space Telescope images. Most clusters in our sample provide significant lensing…
