The SDSS Coadd: 275 deg^2 of Deep SDSS Imaging on Stripe 82
James Annis, Marcelle Soares-Santos, Michael A. Strauss +17
We present details of the construction and characterization of the coaddition of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Stripe 82 \ugriz\ imaging data. This survey consists of 275 deg of…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Quasar Catalog V. Seventh Data Release
Donald P. Schneider, Gordon T. Richards, Patrick B. Hall +45
We present the fifth edition of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Quasar Catalog, which is based upon the SDSS Seventh Data Release. The catalog, which contains 105,783 spectrosc…
Selecting Quasars by their Intrinsic Variability
Kasper B. Schmidt, Philip J. Marshall, Hans-Walter Rix +3
We present a new and simple technique for selecting extensive, complete and pure quasar samples, based on their intrinsic variability. We parametrize the single-band variability by…
Light Curve Templates and Galactic Distribution of RR Lyrae Stars from Sloan Digital Sky Survey Stripe 82
Branimir Sesar, Zeljko Ivezic, Skyler H. Grammer +14
We present an improved analysis of halo substructure traced by RR Lyrae stars in the SDSS stripe 82 region. With the addition of SDSS-II data, a revised selection method based on n…
Polarimetry and the High-Energy Emission Mechanisms in Quasar Jets
M. Cara, E. S. Perlman, Y. Uchiyama +15
The emission mechanisms in extragalactic jets include synchrotron and various inverse-Compton processes. At low (radio through infrared) energies, it is widely agreed that synchrot…
NIR spectroscopy of SDSS J0303-0019: a low luminosity, high Eddington ratio quasar at z~6
J. D. Kurk, F. Walter, X. Fan +4
We present sensitive near--infrared VLT ISAAC spectroscopic observations of the z=6.08 quasar SDSS J030331.40-001912.9. This QSO is more than a magnitude fainter than other QSOs at…
