Quantifying correlations between galaxy emission lines and stellar continua
Róbert Beck, László Dobos, Ching-Wa Yip +2
We analyse the correlations between continuum properties and emission line equivalent widths of star-forming and active galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Since upcoming l…
Objective Identification of Informative Wavelength Regions in Galaxy Spectra
Ching-Wa Yip, Michael Mahoney, Alex Szalay +4
Understanding the diversity in spectra is the key to determining the physical parameters of galaxies. The optical spectra of galaxies are highly convoluted with continuum and lines…
SDSS DR7 White Dwarf Catalog
S. J. Kleinman, S. O. Kepler, D. Koester +13
We present a new catalog of spectroscopically-confirmed white dwarf stars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 spectroscopic catalog. We find 20,407 white dwarf spectra…
A High Resolution Atlas of Composite SDSS Galaxy Spectra
László Dobos, István Csabai, Ching-Wa Yip +3
In this work we present an atlas of composite spectra of galaxies based on the data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 (SDSS DR7). Galaxies are classified by colour, nu…
Extinction in Nebular Luminosities & Star Formation Rate of Disk Galaxies: Inclination Correction
Ching-Wa Yip, Alex S. Szalay
Star formation is one of the most important processes in galaxy formation. The luminosity of Halpha recombination and [OII] forbidden emissions remain to be most used in measuring…
Effect of Inclination of Galaxies on Photometric Redshift
Ching-Wa Yip, Alex S. Szalay, Samuel Carliles +1
The inclination of galaxies induces both reddening and extinction to their observed spectral energy distribution, which in turn impact the derived properties of the galaxies. Here…
