The LOFAR LBA Sky Survey [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2023
Context. The Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) is the only existing radio interferometer able to observe at ultra-low frequencies (<100 MHz) with high resolution (<15") and high sensitivity (<1 mJy beam−1). To exploit these capabilities, the LOFAR Surveys Key Science Project is using the LOFAR Low Band Antenna (LBA) to carry out a sensitive wide ...

The Eighteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: Targeting and First Spectra from SDSS-V [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
The eighteenth data release (DR18) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is the first one for SDSS-V, the fifth generation of the survey. SDSS-V comprises three primary scientific programs or “Mappers”: the Milky Way Mapper (MWM), the Black Hole Mapper (

Deep co-added sky from Catalina Sky Survey images [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2021
ABSTRACT A number of synoptic sky surveys are underway or being planned. Typically, they are done with small telescopes and relatively short exposure times. A search for transient or variable sources involves comparison with deeper baseline images, ideally obtained through the same telescope and camera. With that in mind, we have stacked

LiteBIRD satellite: JAXA's new strategic L-class mission for all-sky surveys of cosmic microwave background polarization [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomical Telescopes + Instrumentation, 2020
LiteBIRD, the Lite (Light) satellite for the study of B-mode polarization and Inflation from cosmic background Radiation Detection, is a space mission for primordial cosmology and fundamental physics.

Seeing-limited Imaging Sky Surveys—Small versus Large Telescopes [PDF]

open access: yesPublications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2020
Typically large telescope construction and operation costs scale up faster than their collecting area. This slows scientific progress, making it expensive and complicated to increase telescope size.

Target Selection and Validation of DESI Quasars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey will measure large-scale structures using quasars as direct tracers of dark matter in the redshift range 0.9 < z < 2.1 and using Ly α forests in quasar spectra at z > 2.1.

A Southern Photometric Quasar Catalog from the Dark Energy Survey Data Release 2

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2022
We present a catalog of 1.4 million photometrically selected quasar candidates in the southern hemisphere over the ∼5000 deg ^2 Dark Energy Survey (DES) wide survey area. We combine optical photometry from the DES second data release (DR2) with available

Completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Cosmological implications from two decades of spectroscopic surveys at the Apache Point Observatory [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review D, 2020
We present the cosmological implications from final measurements of clustering using galaxies, quasars, and Ly$\alpha$ forests from the completed Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) lineage of experiments in large-scale structure. These experiments, composed
