    The Scattering Polarization of the Sr I λ4607 Line at the Diffraction Limit Resolution of a 1 m Telescope
    One of the greatest challenges in solar and stellar physics in the coming years will be to observe the second solar spectrum with a spatial resolution...

    The SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: The Quasar Luminosity Function from Data Release Nine
    We present a new measurement of the optical quasar luminosity function (QLF), using data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-III: Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic...

    The SDSS-UKIDSS Fundamental Plane of Early-Type Galaxies
    We derive the fundamental plane (FP) relation for a sample of 1430 early-type galaxies in the optical (r band) and the near-infrared (K band), by combining SDSS...

    The SEGUE K Giant Survey. II. A Catalog of Distance Determinations for the SEGUE K Giants in the Galactic Halo
    We present an online catalog of distance determinations for 6036 K giants, most of which are members of the Milky Way's stellar halo. Their medium-resolution...

    The Similarity of Abundance Ratio Trends and Nucleosynthetic Patterns in the Milky Way Disk and Bulge
    We compare abundance ratio trends in a sample of ∼11,000 Milky Way bulge stars (R GC < 3 kpc) from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment...

    The Size Evolution of Galaxies since z~3: Combining SDSS, GEMS, and FIRES
    We present the evolution of the luminosity-size and stellar mass-size relations of luminous (LV>~3.4×1010 h-270 Lsolar) and massive (M*>~3×1010 h-270 Msolar)...

    The Soft X-ray and Narrow-line Emission of Mrk 573 on Kiloparsec Scales
    We present a study of the circumnuclear region of the nearby Seyfert galaxy Mrk 573 using Chandra, XMM-Newton, and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) data. We have...

    The Solar Internetwork. I. Contribution to the Network Magnetic Flux
    The magnetic network (NE) observed on the solar surface harbors a sizable fraction of the total quiet Sun flux. However, its origin and maintenance are not well...

    The Solar Internetwork. II. Flux Appearance and Disappearance Rates
    Small-scale internetwork magnetic fields are important ingredients of the quiet Sun. In this paper we analyze how they appear and disappear on the solar surface...
