The QUEST Data Processing Software Pipeline
Peter Andrews, Charles Baltay, Anne Bauer +5
A program that we call the QUEST Data Processing Software Pipeline has been written to process the large volumes of data produced by the QUEST camera on the Samuel Oschin Schmidt T…
The QUEST Large Area CCD Camera
Charlie Baltay, David Rabinowitz, Peter Andrews +17
We have designed, constructed and put into operation a very large area CCD camera that covers the field of view of the 1.2 m Samuel Oschin Schmidt Telescope at the Palomar Observat…
Nearby Supernova Factory Observations of SN 2005gj: Another Type Ia Supernova in a Massive Circumstellar Envelope
The Nearby Supernova Factory Collaboration, G. Aldering, P. Antilogus +24
We report Nearby Supernova Factory observations of SN 2005gj, the second confirmed case of a "hybrid" Type Ia/IIn supernova. Our early-phase photometry of SN 2005gj shows that the…
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…
Palomar-QUEST: A case study in designing sky surveys in the VO era
Matthew J. Graham, Roy Williams, S. G. Djorgovski +10
The advent of wide-area multicolour synoptic sky surveys is leading to data sets unprecedented in size, complexity and data throughput. VO technology offers a way to exploit these…
