Artificial Star Test for Crowded Field CCD Photometry
A new method of performing an artificial star test (AST) for crowded field stellar CCD photometry is proposed. This AST method is superior in the cases when it is necessary to account for varying photometric quality across the study field, arising due to

Improved Point Source Detection in Crowded Fields using Probabilistic Cataloging [PDF]
Cataloging is challenging in crowded fields because sources are extremely covariant with their neighbors and blending makes even the number of sources ambiguous. We present the first optical probabilistic catalog, cataloging a crowded (~0.1 sources per pixel brighter than 22nd magnitude in F606W) Sloan Digital Sky Survey r band image from M2 ...

The GUSBAD Catalog of Gamma-Ray Bursts [PDF]
The GUSBAD catalog of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is based on archival BATSE DISCLA data covering the full 9.1 years of the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory mission. The catalog contains 2204 GRBs, including 589 bursts not listed in the Current BATSE Burst Catalog.

Are optically-selected QSO catalogs biased ? [PDF]
A thorough study of QSO-galaxy correlations has been done on a region close to the North Galactic Pole using a complete subsample of the optically selected CFHT/MMT QSO survey and the galaxy catalog of Odewahn and Aldering (1995).

ON THE RELATIONSHIP OF UC H ii REGIONS AND CLASS II METHANOL MASERS. I. SOURCE CATALOGS [PDF]
We conducted Very Large Array C-configuration observations to measure positions and luminosities of Galactic Class II 6.7 GHz methanol masers and their associated ultra-compact H ii regions.

Building IoT-Based Applications for Smart Cities: How Can Ontology Catalogs Help?
The Internet of Things (IoT) plays an ever-increasing role in enabling smart city applications. An ontology-based semantic approach can help improve interoperability between a variety of IoT-generated as well as complementary data needed to drive these ...

Approximate methods for the generation of dark matter halo catalogs in the age of precision cosmology [PDF]
Precision cosmology has recently triggered new attention on the topic of approximate methods for the clustering of matter on large scales, whose foundations date back to the period from the late 1960s to early 1990s.

Determination of Abundances of Chemical Elements in Open Star Clusters of the Galaxy
Spectroscopic determinations of the relative abundances of chemical elements produced in different nuclear-synthesis processes, [el/Fe], are collected for 90 open star clusters of the Galaxy using data from 109 papers published between 1991 and 2015 ...
