Efficient Photometric Selection of Quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: II. ~1,000,000 Quasars from Data Release Six
Gordon T. Richards, Adam D. Myers, Alexander G. Gray +6
We present a catalog of 1,172,157 quasar candidates selected from the photometric imaging data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The objects are all point sources to a limiti…
Efficient intra- and inter-night linking of asteroid detections using kd-trees
Jeremy Kubica, Larry Denneau, Tommy Grav +7
The Panoramic Survey Telescope And Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS) under development at the University of Hawaii's Institute for Astronomy is creating the first fully automated…
The Effect of Large-Scale Structure on the SDSS Galaxy Three-Point Correlation Function
R. C. Nichol, R. K. Sheth, Y. Suto +21
We present measurements of the normalised redshift-space three-point correlation function (Q_z) of galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) main galaxy sample. We have app…
Statistical Computations with AstroGrid and the Grid
Robert C Nichol, Garry Smith, Christopher J Miller +6
We outline our first steps towards marrying two new and emerging technologies; the Virtual Observatory (e.g, AstroGrid) and the computational grid. We discuss the construction of V…
Massive Science with VO and Grids
Robert Nichol, Garry Smith, Christopher Miller +7
There is a growing need for massive computational resources for the analysis of new astronomical datasets. To tackle this problem, we present here our first steps towards marrying…
Multi-Tree Methods for Statistics on Very Large Datasets in Astronomy
Alexander G. Gray, Andrew W. Moore, Robert C. Nichol +3
Many fundamental statistical methods have become critical tools for scientific data analysis yet do not scale tractably to modern large datasets. This paper will describe very rece…
