Sdss-iii: massive spectroscopic surveys of the distant universe, the milky way, and extra-solar planetary systems

Daniel J. Eisenstein, +263 more
TL;DR: SDSS-III as mentioned in this paper is a program of four spectroscopic surveys on three scientific themes: dark energy and cosmological parameters, the history and structure of the Milky Way, and the population of giant planets around other stars.

CANDELS: The Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey

Norman A. Grogin, +108 more
TL;DR: The Cosmic Assembly Near-IR Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS) as discussed by the authors was designed to document the first third of galactic evolution, from z approx. 8 - 1.5 to test their accuracy as standard candles for cosmology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Candels: The cosmic assembly near-infrared deep extragalactic legacy survey - The hubble space telescope observations, imaging data products, and mosaics

Anton M. Koekemoer, +124 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the Hubble Space Telescope imaging data products and data reduction procedures for the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS).
Journal ArticleDOI

The baryon oscillation spectroscopic survey of sdss-iii

Kyle S. Dawson, +184 more
TL;DR: The Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) as discussed by the authors was designed to measure the scale of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the clustering of matter over a larger volume than the combined efforts of all previous spectroscopic surveys of large-scale structure.

The discovery of the first luminous z∼ 6 quasar in the UKIDSS Large Area Survey

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the initial results from their search for high redshift, z & 6, quasars using near infrared data from the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) Large Area Survey (LAS).
Journal ArticleDOI

Deep near-IR observations of the Chandra Deep Field and of the HDF South - Color and number counts

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented near-IR (J and Ks) number counts and colors of galaxies detected in deep VLT-ISAAC images centered on the Chandra Deep Field and Hubble Deep Field-South for a total area of 13.6 arcmin 2.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Hubble Space Telescope lensing survey of X-ray-luminous galaxy clusters — II. A search for gravitationally lensed EROs

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the results of a survey for extremely red objects (EROs) undertaken in the fields of 10 massive galaxy cluster lenses at z ∼ 0.2, combining sensitive, high-resolution Hubble Space Telescope imaging with deep, halfarcsecond K-band imaging from UKIRT.
Journal ArticleDOI

Brown dwarfs in the Pleiades and the initial mass function across the stellar/substellar boundary

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a new sample of brown dwarf (BD) candidates from a survey covering 68 · 68 centred on the Pleiades, which was constructed using I- and R-band photographic plates, measured using the new high-precision microdensitometer SuperCOSMOS at the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh.
