THE NINTH DATA RELEASE OF THE SLOAN DIGITAL SKY SURVEY: FIRST SPECTROSCOPIC DATA FROM THE SDSS-III BARYON OSCILLATION SPECTROSCOPIC SURVEY
- Christopher P. Ahn, R. Alexandroff, J. Zinn
- Physics
- 30 July 2012
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III) presents the first spectroscopic data from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). This ninth data release (DR9) of the SDSS project includes…
SDSS-III: MASSIVE SPECTROSCOPIC SURVEYS OF THE DISTANT UNIVERSE, THE MILKY WAY, AND EXTRA-SOLAR PLANETARY SYSTEMS
- D. Eisenstein, D. Weinberg, Bo Zhao
- Physics
- 1 December 2007
Building on the legacy of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-I and II), SDSS-III is a program of four spectroscopic surveys on three scientific themes: dark energy and cosmological parameters, the…
Galaxy Zoo: morphologies derived from visual inspection of galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
- C. Lintott, K. Schawinski, J. V. D. Berg
- Physics
- 29 April 2008
In order to understand the formation and subsequent evolution of galaxies one must first distinguish between the two main morphological classes of massive systems: spirals and early-type systems.…
Galaxy Zoo Green Peas: discovery of a class of compact extremely star-forming galaxies
- C. Cardamone, K. Schawinski, J. vandenBerg
- Physics
- 23 July 2009
We investigate a class of rapidly growing emission line galaxies, known as “Green Peas,” first noted by volunteers in the Galaxy Zoo project because of their peculiar bright green colour and small…
THE BARYON OSCILLATION SPECTROSCOPIC SURVEY OF SDSS-III
- K. Dawson, D. Schlegel, Zheng Zheng
- Physics
- 31 July 2012
The Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) is designed to measure the scale of baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the clustering of matter over a larger volume than the combined efforts of…
THE TENTH DATA RELEASE OF THE SLOAN DIGITAL SKY SURVEY: FIRST SPECTROSCOPIC DATA FROM THE SDSS-III APACHE POINT OBSERVATORY GALACTIC EVOLUTION EXPERIMENT
- Christopher P. Ahn, R. Alexandroff, G. Zhu
- Physics
- 29 July 2013
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has been in operation since 2000 April. This paper presents the Tenth Public Data Release (DR10) from its current incarnation, SDSS-III. This data release includes…
Galaxy Zoo 1: data release of morphological classifications for nearly 900 000 galaxies
- C. Lintott, K. Schawinski, J. vandenBerg
- Physics
- 19 July 2010
Morphology is a powerful indicator of a galaxy’s dynamical and merger history. It is strongly correlated with many physical parameters, including mass, star formation history and the distribution of…
Constraints on local primordial non-Gaussianity from large scale structure
- A. Slosar, C. Hirata, U. Seljak, S. Ho, N. Padmanabhan
- Physics
- 23 May 2008
Recent work has shown that the local non-Gaussianity parameter fNL induces a scale dependent bias, whose amplitude is growing with scale. Here we first rederive this result within the context of the…
The Fourteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data from the Extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey and from the Second Phase of the Apache Point…

- PhysicsThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series
- 28 July 2017
The fourth generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-IV) has been in operation since 2014 July. This paper describes the second data release from this phase, and the 14th from SDSS overall…
Cosmological parameters from combining the Lyman-α forest with CMB, galaxy clustering and SN constraints
- U. Seljak, A. Slosar, P. Mcdonald
- Physics
- 14 April 2006
We combine the Ly-α forest power spectrum (LYA) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and high resolution spectra with cosmic microwave background (CMB) including three-year WMAP, and supernovae…
