Wide-Field Surveys from the SNAP Mission
The Supernova / Acceleration Probe (SNAP) is a proposed space-borne observatory that will survey the sky with a wide-field optical/near-infrared (NIR) imager. The images produced by SNAP will have an unprecedented combination of depth, solid-angle, angular resolution, and temporal sampling. For 16 months each, two 7.5 square-degree fields will be observed every four days to a magnitude depth of...
متن کاملLarge-Scale Structure from Wide-Field Surveys
In this introductory talk I give an elementary overview of the development, current status, and near term outlook for three probes of large scale structure; galaxy clustering, bulk flows and weak lensing observations. 1 The Paradigm for Structure Formation This meeting is largely concerned with the major observational expansion occurring in the field of wide-field cosmological surveys. These ad...
متن کاملAstrometry in Wide-field Surveys
We present a robust and fast algorithm for performing astrometry and source cross-identification on two dimensional point lists, such as between a catalogue and an astronomical image, or between two images. The method is based on minimal assumptions: the lists can be rotated, magnified and inverted with respect to each other in an arbitrary way. The algorithm is tailored to work efficiently on ...
متن کاملQuantifying angular clustering in wide-area radio surveys
We quantify the angular clustering of radio galaxies in the NVSS and FIRST surveys using the two-point correlation function and the moments of counts-incells – both important points of comparison with theory. These investigations consistently demonstrate that the slope of the correlation function for radio galaxies agrees with that for optically-selected galaxies, γ ≈ 1.8. We describe how to di...
متن کاملTwo - Point Angular Correlation Function )
The Two Point Angular Correlation Function (TPACF) is a mathematical equation that has applications in many areas. In our project, the Two Point Angular Correlation Function is used as a way to measure the probability of finding an astronomical body at a given angular distance from another astronomical body. We were given working sequential code as a starting point. The sequential code took in ...
