Using as case study the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) project in the Astronomy field, we analyzed texts from bibliographic records of publications along three cultural and geographic axes: US only publications, non-US publications and international collaboration. Using ...
متن کاملNight sky at the Indian Astronomical Observatory during 2000 − 2008
This paper presents an analysis of the optical night sky brightness and extinction coefficient measurements in UBVRI at the Indian Astronomical Observatory (IAO), Hanle, during the period 2003−2008. They are obtained from an analysis of CCD images acquired at the 2 m Himalayan Chandra Telescope (HCT) at IAO. Night sky brightness was estimated using 210 HFOSC images obtained on 47 nights and cov...
متن کاملNonparametric density estimation and clustering in astronomical sky surveys
We present a nonparametric method for galaxy clustering in astronomical sky surveys. We show that the cosmological definition of clusters of galaxies is equivalent to density contour clusters (Hartigan , 1975) Sc = {f > c} where f is a probability density function. The plug-in estimator Ŝc = {f̂ > c} is used to estimate Sc where f̂ is the multivariate kernel density estimator. To choose the optim...
