We identify 3113 highly variable objects in 7200 deg^2 of the Palomar-QUEST (PQ) Survey, which each varied by more than 0.4 mag simultaneously in two broadband optical filters on timescales from...

We identify 3,113 highly variable objects in 7,200 square degrees of the Palomar-QUEST Survey, which each varied by more than 0.4 magnitudes simultaneously in two broadband optical filters on...
Blazar Optical Variability in the Palomar-QUEST Survey (2009)
Bauer, Anne, Baltay, Charles, Coppi, Paolo, Ellman, Nancy, Jerke, Jonathan, Rabinowitz, David, ...
We study the ensemble optical variability of 276 FSRQs and 86 BL Lacs in the Palomar-QUEST Survey with the goal of searching for common fluctuation properties, examining the range of behavior across...
Quasar Optical Variability in the Palomar-QUEST Survey (2009)
Bauer, Anne, Baltay, Charles, Coppi, Paolo, Ellman, Nancy, Jerke, Jonathan, Rabinowitz, David, ...
The ensemble variability properties of nearly 23,000 quasars are studied using the Palomar-QUEST Survey. The survey has covered 15,000 square degrees multiple times over 3.5 years using 7 optical...
Effective Hamiltonian Theory and Its Applications in Quantum Information (2007)
James, Daniel F. V., Jerke, Jonathan
This paper presents a useful compact formula for deriving an effective Hamiltonian describing the time-averaged dynamics of detuned quantum systems. The formalism also works for ensemble-averaged...
The QUEST Data Processing Software Pipeline (2007)
Andrews, Peter, Baltay, Charles, Bauer, Anne, Ellman, Nancy, Jerke, Jonathan, Lauer, Rochelle, ...
A program that we call the QUEST Data Processing Software Pipeline has been written to process the large volumes of data produced by the QUEST camera on the Samuel Oschin Schmidt Telescope at the...
The QUEST Large Area CCD Camera (2007)
Baltay, Charlie, Rabinowitz, David, Andrews, Peter, Bauer, Anne, Ellman, Nancy, Emmet, William, ...
We have designed, constructed and put into operation a very large area CCD camera that covers the field of view of the 1.2 m Samuel Oschin Schmidt Telescope at the Palomar Observatory. The camera...
