Identifying Thematic Variations in SDSS Research
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is the largest ongoing sky survey. It regularly makes data releases to the astronomical community. From a macroscopic point of view, a profound question is: what is the role of SDSS data releases in the evolution of the relevant scientific fields? In this paper, we introduce an integrated approach by combining statistical, information-theoretical, and symbolic methods for text data analysis and show how this combined approach can distinguish thematic variations associated with the different data releases.

Post Common Envelope Binaries from SDSS . I : 101 white dwarf main sequence binaries with multiple SDSS spectroscopy
We present a detailed analysis of 101 white dwarf-main sequence binaries (WDMS) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) for which multiple SDSS spectra are available. We detect significant radial velocity variations in 18 WDMS, identifying them as post common envelope binaries (PCEBs) or strong PCEB candidates. Strict upper limits to the orbital periods are calculated, ranging from 0.43 to 788...
متن کاملReliability and Validity of A Persian Version of Substance Dependence Severity Scale (SDSS)
Abstract Background: Iran (I.R.) is suffering the growing problem of opiate abuse. In evaluation of the treatment plan for opium dependent patients, a valid and reliable instrument is needed to measure patients' severity of dependence. This study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of the Persian version of the "Substance Dependence Severity Scale" (SDSS). Methods: After tr...
متن کاملThe influence of halo assembly on galaxies and galaxy groups
We study the variations of group galaxy properties according to their assembly history in groups identified in the SDSS-DR6 (hereafter SDSS) catalogue. Using mock SDSS group catalogues, we find that the isolation and concentration of a galaxy group are good observational discriminators of group assembly. However, analysing the mean spectral type of SDSS groups as a function of concentration and...

The results of 27 hours of time series photometry of SDSS 121209.31+013627.7 are presented. The binary period established from spectroscopy is confirmed and refined to 0.061412 d (88.43 minutes). The photometric variations are dominated by a brightening of about 16 mmag, lasting a little less than half a binary cycle. The amplitude is approximately the same in V , R and white light. A secondary...

We present a search for O i in the spectra of nine 4.9 ≤ zQSO ≤ 6.4 QSOs taken with Keck/HIRES. We detect six systems with NO I > 10 13.7 cm in the redshift intervals where O i λ1302 falls redward of the Lyα forest. Four of these lie towards SDSS J1148+5251 (zQSO = 6.42). This imbalance is unlikely to arise from variations in sensitivity among our data or from a statistical fluctuation. The exc...
