The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: baryon acoustic oscillations in the Data Release 9 spectroscopic galaxy sample

We present measurements of galaxy clustering from the Baryon Oscillation\nSpectroscopic Survey (BOSS), which is part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III\n(SDSS-III). These use t...

Survey Questions: Handcrafting the Standardized Questionnaire

This book reviews the experimental literature on how survey questions behave as well as the lore of professional experience and culls from them those guiding principles and spec...

Precision photometry of early-type galaxies in the Coma and Virgo clusters: a test of the universality of the colour-magnitude relation - II. Analysis

We have undertaken a detailed comparison of the colours of early-type galaxies in the Virgo and Coma clusters. In Paper I (this issue), we presented our system of homogeneous U,...

Nebular emission from star-forming galaxies

We present a new model for computing consistently the line and continuum\nemission from galaxies, based on a combination of recent population synthesis\nand photoionization code...

Empirical development of an MMPI subscale for the assessment of combat-related posttraumatic stress disorder.

Few guidelines exist for the psychological assessment of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in Vietnam combat veterans. The focus of the present study was to develop empirical...

A Modified Magnitude System that Produces Well-Behaved Magnitudes, Colors, and Errors Even for Low Signal-to-Noise Ratio Measurements

We describe a modification of the usual definition of astronomical magnitudes, replacing the usual logarithm with an inverse hyperbolic sine function; we call these modified mag...

The ROSAT Brightest Cluster Sample -- III. Optical spectra of the central cluster galaxies

We present new spectra of dominant galaxies in X-ray selected clusters, which combine with our previously published spectra to form a sample of 256 dominant galaxies in 215 clus...
