Searches for Rare and New Types of Objects
S. G. Djorgovski, A. A. Mahabal, R. J. Brunner +4
Systematic exploration of the observable parameter space, covered by large digital sky surveys spanning a range of wavelengths, will be one of the primary modes of research with a…
Colors of 2625 Quasars at 0<z<5 Measured in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Photometric System
Gordon T. Richards, Xiaohui Fan, Donald P. Schneider +3
We present an empirical investigation of the colors of quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) photometric system. The sample studied includes 2625 quasars with SDSS photome…
The Luminosity Function of Galaxies in SDSS Commissioning Data
SDSS Collaboration, M. R. Blanton
During commissioning observations, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has produced one of the largest existing galaxy redshift samples selected from CCD images. Using 11,275 galax…
The Digital Sky Project: Prototyping Virtual Observatory Technologies
R. J Brunner, T. Prince, J. Good +3
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…
Exploring the Multi-Wavelength, Low Surface Brightness Universe
R. J. Brunner, S. G. Djorgovski, R. R. Gal +2
Our current understanding of the low surface brightness universe is quite incomplete, not only in the optical, but also in other wavelength regimes. As a demonstration of the type…
Discovery of a Close Pair of z = 4.25 Quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Donald P. Schneider, Xiaohui Fan, Michael A. Strauss +17
We report the discovery of a pair of z = 4.25 quasars with a separation of 33 arcseconds. The brighter of the two objects was identified as a high-redshift quasar candidate from Sl…
