Astronomical Archives of the Future: A Virtual Observatory
A. S. Szalay, R. J. Brunner
Astronomy is entering a new era as multiple, large area, digital sky surveys are in production. The resulting datasets are truly remarkable in their own right; however, a revolutio…
The Statistical Approach to Quantifying Galaxy Evolution
R. J. Brunner, A. J. Connolly, A. S. Szalay
Studies of the distribution and evolution of galaxies are of fundamental importance to modern cosmology; these studies, however, are hampered by the complexity of the competing eff…
The Palomar Digital Sky Survey (DPOSS)
S. G. Djorgovski, R. R. Gal, S. C. Odewahn +4
We describe DPOSS, a new digital survey of the northern sky, based on the POSS-II photographic sky atlas. The survey covers the entire sky north of delta = -3 deg in 3 bands, calib…
Evolution of the Angular Correlation Function
A. J. Connolly, A. S. Szalay, R. J. Brunner
For faint photometric surveys our ability to quantify the clustering of galaxies has depended on interpreting the angular correlation function as a function of the limiting magnitu…
A blind test of photometric redshift prediction
David W. Hogg, Judith G. Cohen, Roger Blandford +16
Results of a blind test of photometric redshift predictions against spectroscopic galaxy redshifts obtained in the Hubble Deep Field with the Keck Telescope are presented. The best…
