The Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
K. Abazajian
This paper describes the Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), marking the completion of the original goals of the SDSS and the end of the phase known as SDS…
Lessons Learned from Sloan Digital Sky Survey Operations
S. J. Kleinman, J. E. Gunn, B. Boroski +12
Astronomy is changing. Large projects, large collaborations, and large budgets are becoming the norm. The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is one example of this new astronomy, and…
Measuring the undetectable: Proper motions and parallaxes of very faint sources
Dustin Lang, David W. Hogg, Sebastian Jester +1
The near future of astrophysics involves many large solid-angle, multi-epoch, multi-band imaging surveys. These surveys will, at their faint limits, have data on large numbers of s…
Retardation magnification and the appearance of relativistic jets
Sebastian Jester
Thanks to the availability of high-resolution high-sensitivity telescopes such as the Very Large Array, the Hubble Space Telescope, and the Chandra X-ray Observatory, there is now…
Expected z>5 QSO number counts in large area deep near-infrared surveys
Fabio Fontanot, Rachel S. Somerville, Sebastian Jester
The QSO luminosity function at z>5 provides strong constraints on models of joint evolution of QSO and their hosts. However, these observations are challenging because the low spac…
Measuring the accretion rate and kinetic luminosity functions of supermassive black holes
E. G. Koerding, S. Jester, R. Fender
We derive accretion rate functions (ARFs) and kinetic luminosity functions (KLF) for jet-launching supermassive black holes. The accretion rate as well as the kinetic power of an a…
