catsHTM: A Tool for Fast Accessing and Cross-matching Large Astronomical Catalogs [PDF]
Publications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2018 Fast access to large catalogs is required for some astronomical applications. Here we introduce the catsHTM tool, consisting of several large catalogs reformatted into HDF5-based file format, which can be downloaded and used locally. To allow fast access,

Making Siberian Turkic Printed Collections Visible
Библиосфера, 2022 In the age of big data, small collections are often overlooked. Too numerically few to cause waves, the issues and problems that affect them are rarely addressed by cataloguing institutions. In the present paper, the author focuses on one such collection

CANDELS Multi-wavelength Catalogs: Source Identification and Photometry in the CANDELS Extended Groth Strip [PDF]
, 2017 We present a 0.4–8 μm multi-wavelength photometric catalog in the Extended Groth Strip (EGS) field. This catalog is built on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) WFC3 and ACS data from the Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey ...

Spitzer Matching Survey of the UltraVISTA Ultra-deep Stripes (SMUVS): Full-mission IRAC Mosaics and Catalogs [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2018 This paper describes new deep 3.6 and 4.5 μm imaging of three UltraVISTA near-infrared survey stripes within the COSMOS field. The observations were carried out with Spitzer’s Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) for the Spitzer Matching Survey of the UltraVISTA

A Robust Distance Measurement and Dark Energy Constraints from the Spherically-Averaged Correlation Function of Sloan Digital Sky Survey Luminous Red Galaxies [PDF]
, 2012 We measure the effective distance to z=0.35, D_V(0.35), from the overall shape of the spherically-averaged two-point correlation function of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 (DR7) luminous red galaxy (LRG) sample.

Automatic Classification of Variable Stars in Catalogs with missing data
, 2013 We present an automatic classification method for astronomical catalogs with missing data. We use Bayesian networks, a probabilistic graphical model, that allows us to perform inference to pre- dict missing values given observed data and dependency ...

The Two-Point Angular Correlation Function and BATSE Sky Exposure [PDF]
, 1997 The Two-Point Angular Correlation Function is a standard analysis tool used to study angular anisotropies. Since BATSE's sky exposure (the angular sampling of gamma-ray bursts) is anisotropic, the TPACF should at some point identify anisotropies in BATSE
