White Dwarf Luminosity And Mass Functions From Sloan Digital Sky Survey Spectra
(2008-01)
We present the first phase in our ongoing work to use Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data to create separate white dwarf (WD) luminosity functions (LFs) for two or more different mass ranges. In this paper, we determine ...
The Century Survey Galactic Halo Project. III. A Complete 4300 Deg(2) Survey Of Blue Horizontal Branch Stars In The Metal-Weak Thick Disk And Inner Halo
(2008-02)
We present a complete spectroscopic survey of 2414 2MASS-selected blue horizontal branch ( BHB) candidates selected over 4300 deg(2) of the sky. We identify 655 BHB stars in this non-kinematically selected sample. We ...
An Improved Photometric Calibration Of The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Imaging Data
(2008-02)
We present an algorithm to photometrically calibrate wide-field optical imaging surveys, which simultaneously solves for the calibration parameters and relative stellar fluxes using overlapping observations. The algorithm ...
Distances To Galactic High-Velocity Clouds: Complex C
(2007-12)
We report the first determination of a distance bracket for the high- velocity cloud (HVC) complex C. Combined with previous measurements showing that this cloud has a metallicity of 0.15 times solar, these results provide ...
