Optically-selected Cluster Catalogs as a Precision Cosmology Tool
We introduce a framework for describing the halo selection function of optical cluster finders. We treat the problem as being separable into a term that describes the intrinsic galaxy content of a halo (the Halo Occupation Distribution, or HOD) and a term that captures the effects of projection and selection by the particular cluster finding algorithm. Using mock galaxy catalogs tuned to reprod...
متن کاملOptically identified QSO absorption systems and galaxy evolution
A comprehensive set of all available magnitudes, colors and redshifts for optically identified QSO absorbers is compiled from the literature. This results in a largely unbiased sample of galaxies at high redshifts, the size of the sample being reasonably large to allow for a first comparison with galaxy evolution models. We use our evolutionary spectral synthesis models describing various spect...
متن کاملMultivendor Catalogs: Smart Catalogs and Virtual Catalogs
We discuss how distributed multivendor catalogs can be created and used by multiple retailers. Currently, there are a variety of proprietary approaches to electronic catalogs. These include WWW catalogs built with stovepipe architectures that allow only one catalog to be used at a time. Also, proprietary catalogs are created using EDI 832 transactions that limit flexibility and technological gr...
متن کاملMolecular Gas in Optically Selected Mergers
We have mapped the 2.6 mm CO J = 1 → 0 emission in three optically selected “Toomre Sequence” mergers (NGC 520, NGC 3921, NGC 4676). The molecular gas distribution is well resolved by the observations. For NGC 520 and NGC 4676A, the nuclear gas concentrations form a diskor a ring-like structure, and the gas kinematics are regular and are consistent with simple rotation. Discrete molecular gas c...
متن کاملHighly Polarized Optically-selected Bl Lacertae Objects
Observations of candidate BL Lacertae objects spectroscopically selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) reveal a large fraction with high polarization (P > 3%). This result confirms that synchrotron radiation makes an important contribution to the observed optical continuum for most objects in the sample. The SDSS sample can be divided into separate categories, with objects of undeter...
