Real-world ballistics: A dropped bucket
David W. Hogg
I discuss an apparently simple ballistics problem: the time it takes an object to fall a small vertical distance near the surface of the Earth. It turns out to be not so simple; I…
The growth of luminous red galaxies by merging
Morad Masjedi, David W. Hogg, Michael R. Blanton
We study the role of major and minor mergers in the mass growth of luminous red galaxies. We present small-scale ($0.01<r<8\,\hMpc$) projected cross-correlation functions of $23043…
The accretion origin of the Milky Way's stellar halo
Eric F. Bell, Daniel B. Zucker, Vasily Belokurov +15
We have used data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 5 to explore the overall structure and substructure of the stellar halo of the Milky Way using about 4 milli…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Quasar Catalog IV. Fifth Data Release
Donald P. Schneider, Patrick B. Hall, Gordon T. Richards +41
We present the fourth edition of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Quasar Catalog. The catalog contains 77,429 objects; this is an increase of over 30,000 entries since the previ…
An Improved Photometric Calibration of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Imaging Data
N. Padmanabhan, D. J. Schlegel, D. P. Finkbeiner +21
We present an algorithm to photometrically calibrate wide field optical imaging surveys, that simultaneously solves for the calibration parameters and relative stellar fluxes using…
