Spectroscopic Target Selection in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: The Main Galaxy Sample
- M. Strauss, D. Weinberg, I. Zehavi
- Physics
- 13 June 2002
We describe the algorithm that selects the main sample of galaxies for spectroscopy in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) from the photometric data obtained by the imaging survey. Galaxy photometric…
Sloan Digital Sky Survey: Early Data Release
- C. Stoughton, R. Lupton, Wei Zheng
- Physics
- 2002
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is an imaging and spectroscopic survey that will eventually cover approximately one-quarter of the celestial sphere and collect spectra of ≈106 galaxies, 100,000…
The Milky Way Tomography with SDSS. II. Stellar Metallicity
Using effective temperature and metallicity derived from SDSS spectra for ~60,000 F- and G-type main-sequence stars (0.2 < g − r < 0.6), we develop polynomial models for estimating these parameters…
A NEW GENERATION OF PARSEC-COLIBRI STELLAR ISOCHRONES INCLUDING THE TP-AGB PHASE
- P. Marigo, L. Girardi, P. Wood
- Physics
- 19 January 2017
We introduce a new generation of PARSEC–COLIBRI stellar isochrones that includes a detailed treatment of the thermally pulsing asymptotic giant branch (TP-AGB) phase, covering a wide range of initial…
The Luminosity Function of Galaxies in SDSS Commissioning Data
- M. Blanton, J. Dalcanton, D. York
- Physics
- 5 December 2000
In the course of its commissioning observations, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has produced one of the largest redshift samples of galaxies selected from CCD images. Using 11,275 galaxies…
THE ACS NEARBY GALAXY SURVEY TREASURY
- J. Dalcanton, B. Williams, T. Quinn
- Physics
- 1 December 2007
The ACS Nearby Galaxy Survey Treasury (ANGST) is a systematic survey to establish a legacy of uniform multi-color photometry of resolved stars for a volume-limited sample of nearby galaxies (D < 4…
COMPARISON OF Hα AND UV STAR FORMATION RATES IN THE LOCAL VOLUME: SYSTEMATIC DISCREPANCIES FOR DWARF GALAXIES
- Janice C. Lee, A. Gil de Paz, D. Weisz
- Physics
- 29 September 2009
Using a complete sample of ∼300 star-forming galaxies within 11 Mpc of the Milky Way, we evaluate the consistency between star formation rates (SFRs) inferred from the far ultraviolet (FUV)…
The Fourth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
- J. Adelman-McCarthy, M. Agüeros, D. Zucker
- Physics
- 29 July 2005
This paper describes the Fourth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), including all survey-quality data taken through 2004 June. The data release includes five-band photometric data…
The Fifth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
- J. Adelman-McCarthy, M. Agüeros, D. Zucker
- Physics
- 23 July 2007
This paper describes the Fifth Data Release (DR5) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). DR5 includes all survey quality data taken through 2005 June and represents the completion of the SDSS-I…
Galaxy Clustering in Early Sloan Digital Sky Survey Redshift Data
- I. Zehavi, M. Blanton, D. York
- Physics
- 20 May 2002
We present the first measurements of clustering in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) galaxy redshift survey. Our sample consists of 29,300 galaxies with redshifts 5700 km s-1 ≤ cz ≤ 39,000 km s-1,…
