A Synoptic, Multiwavelength Analysis of a Large Quasar Sample
Adam W. Rengstorf, Robert J. Brunner, Brian C. Wilhite
We present variability and multi-wavelength photometric information for the 933 known quasars in the QUEST Variability Survey. These quasars are grouped into variable and non-varia…
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…
New Quasars Detected via Variability in the QUEST1 Survey
A. W. Rengstorf, S. L. Mufson, C. Abad +31
By observing the high galactic latitude equatorial sky in drift scan mode with the QUEST (QUasar Equatorial Survey Team) Phase 1 camera, multi-bandpass photometry on a large strip…
The QUEST RR Lyrae Survey: Confirmation of the Clump at 50 kpc and Other Over-Densities in the Outer Halo
A. K. Vivas, R. Zinn, P. Andrews +33
We have measured the periods and light curves of 148 RR Lyrae variables from V=13.5 to 19.7 from the first 100 sq. degrees of the QUEST RR Lyrae survey. Approximately 55% of these…
Discovery of the Bright Trans-Neptunian Object 2000 EB173
Ignacio Ferrin, D. Rabinowitz, B. Schaefer +45
We describe the discovery circumstances and photometric properties of 2000 EB173, now one of the brightest trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) with opposition magnitude m_R=18.9 and als…
Discovery of the Optical Transient of the Gamma Ray Burst 990308
Bradley E. Schaefer, J. A. Snyder, J. Hernandez +53
The optical transient of the faint Gamma Ray Burst 990308 was detected by the QUEST camera on the Venezuelan 1-m Schmidt telescope starting 3.28 hours after the burst. Our photomet…
