Automated Analysis of a Large-Scale Sky Survey: The SKICAT System (2004)
Fayyad, U., Weir, N., Djorgovski, S.
We describe the application of decision tree based classification techniques to the development of an automated tool for the reduction of a large scientific data set. The primary benefits of the...
Young Stars and Non-Stella Emission in the Aligned Radio Galaxy 3C 256 (2004)
Eisenhardt, P., Simpson, C., Armus, L., Chokshi, A., Dicksinson, M., Djorgovski, S., ...
We present ground-based images of the z=1.824 radio galaxy 3C 256 in the standard BVRIJHK filters and an interference filter centered at 8800 A, a Hubble Space Telescope image in a filter dominated...
A New Sample of Distant Compact Groups From DPOSS (2003)
Iovino, A., De Carvalho, R., Gal, R., Odewahn, S., Lopes, P., Mahabal, A., ...
We have identified eighty-four small, high density groups of galaxies out to z ~ 0.2 in a region of ~ 2000 square degrees around the north galactic pole using DPOSS (the Digitized Second Palomar...
Groups and clusters detection on DPOSS catalogs (2000)
Puddu, E., De Filippis, E., Strazzullo, V., Andreon, S., Longo, G., Gal, R., ...
We discuss the implementation and validation of a procedure aimed to detect groups and clusters of galaxies in DPOSS catalogs.
Discovery of the Optical Transient of the Gamma Ray Burst 990308 (1999)
Schaefer, Bradley E., Snyder, J. A., Hernandez, J., Roscherr, B., Deng, M., Ellmann, N., ...
The optical transient of the faint Gamma Ray Burst 990308 was detected by the QUEST camera on the Venezuelan 1-m Schmidt telescope starting 3.28 hours after the burst. Our photometry gives $V = 18.32...
