Astro 512, Extragalactic Astronomy

A very informative class, and the final paper involved a lot of math (which makes me very happy):

  • Malmquist.pdf
    This paper is a calculation of the effect of Malmquist bias on our ability to measure cosmological parameters with supernovae.
  • gaussian.pdf
    This is a short document in which I derive the general form of the nth gaussian integral - I wrote it out of curiousity while doing the Malmquist Bias calculation.
