Optically identified BL Lacertae objects from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

Matthew J. Collinge, Michael A. Strauss, Patrick B. Hall +12

We present a sample of 386 BL Lacertae (BL Lac) candidates identified from 2860 deg^2 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) spectroscopic database. The candidates are primarily se…

Correlating the CMB with Luminous Red Galaxies : The Integrated Sachs-Wolfe Effect

Nikhil Padmanabhan, Christopher M. Hirata, Uros Seljak +3

We present a 2.5 sigma detection of the Integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect and discuss the constraints it places on cosmological parameters. We cross-correlate microwave temperatu…

The properties and luminosity function of extremely low luminosity galaxies

Michael R. Blanton, Robert H. Lupton, David J. Schlegel +4

We examine a sample of low redshift (10 < d < 150 Mpc) galaxies including galaxies with r-band absolute magnitudes as faint as -12.5 (for h=1), selected from the Sloan Digital Sky…
