RI Night sky brightness during sunspot maximum at ESO - Paranal ⋆
In this paper we present and discuss for the first time a large data set of U BV RI night sky brightness measurements collected at ESO-Paranal from April 2000 to September 2001. A total of about 3900 images obtained on 174 different nights with FORS1 were analysed using an automatic algorithm specifically designed for this purpose. This led to the construction of an unprecedented database that ...
متن کاملMultiepoch Sky Surveys and the Lifetime of Quasars
We present a new method to measure the episodic lifetime of quasars with current and future large-scale sky surveys. Future photometric observations of large samples of confirmed quasars can provide a direct measurement (or interesting lower limit) to the lifetime of an individual episode of quasar activity (tQ) and potentially enable the study of post-quasar host galaxies. Photometric observat...
متن کاملCross-correlating the Microwave Sky with Galaxy Surveys
We present results for the cross-correlation between the WMAP 1st-year cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropy data and optical galaxy surveys: the APM and SDSS DR1 catalogs. Our measurement of a positive CMB-galaxy correlation on large angles (θ > 4◦) yields significant detections of the Integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect and provides a new estimate of dark-energy in the universe, ΩΛ = 0...
متن کاملThe All-sky Asiago-eso/rass Qso Survey: Clustering and Luminosity Function
The AERQS is a project aimed at the construction of an all-sky statistically well-defined sample of local (z ≤ 0.3) and bright (R ≤ 15.5) QSOs. Present uncertainties on the theoretical modeling of the QSO evolution are to be ascribed to the relatively small number of objects observed in this magnitude and redshift domain. We are filling this gap with a sample of 392 AGN covering all the sky at ...
متن کاملUsing All-Sky Surveys to Find Planetary Transits
Transits of bright stars offer a unique opportunity to study detailed properties of extrasolar planets that cannot be determined through radial-velocity observations. We propose a new technique to find such systems using all-sky small-aperture transit surveys. We derive a general formula for the number of stars that can be probed for such systems as a function of the characteristics of the star...
