The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) will provide the data to support detailed investigations of the distribution of luminous and nonluminous matter in the universe: a photometrically and…
THE SEVENTH DATA RELEASE OF THE SLOAN DIGITAL SKY SURVEY
- K. Abazajian, J. Adelman-McCarthy, D. Zucker
- Physics
- 3 December 2008
A series of improvements to the spectroscopic reductions are described, including better flat fielding and improved wavelength calibration at the blue end, better processing of objects with extremely strong narrow emission lines, and an improved determination of stellar metallicities.
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…
Detection of the Baryon Acoustic Peak in the Large-Scale Correlation Function of SDSS Luminous Red Galaxies
- D. Eisenstein, I. Zehavi, D. York
- Physics
- 10 January 2005
We present the large-scale correlation function measured from a spectroscopic sample of 46,748 luminous red galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The survey region covers 0.72 h-3 Gpc3 over…
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 SLOAN DIGITAL SKY SURVEY QUASAR CATALOG. V. SEVENTH DATA RELEASE
- D. Schneider, G. Richards, D. Weinberg
- Physics
- 7 April 2010
We present the fifth edition of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Quasar Catalog, which is based upon the SDSS Seventh Data Release. The catalog, which contains 105,783 spectroscopically confirmed…
The Sixth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
- J. Adelman-McCarthy, M. Agüeros, D. Zucker
- Physics
- 23 July 2007
This paper describes the Sixth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. With this data release, the imaging of the northern Galactic cap is now complete. The survey contains images and…
Improved cosmological constraints from a joint analysis of the SDSS-II and SNLS supernova samples
- M. Betoule, R. Kessler, C. Wheeler
- Physics
- 16 January 2014
Aims. We present cosmological constraints from a joint analysis of type Ia supernova (SN Ia) observations obtained by the SDSS-II and SNLS collaborations. The dataset includes several low-redshift…
Cosmological parameters from SDSS and WMAP
- Max Tegmark, M. Strauss, E. al.
- Physics
- 27 October 2003
We measure cosmological parameters using the three-dimensional power spectrum P(k) from over 200,000 galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) in combination with WMAP and other data. Our…
Spectroscopic Target Selection in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: The Quasar Sample
- G. Richards, X. Fan, D. York
- Physics
- 13 February 2002
We describe the algorithm for selecting quasar candidates for optical spectroscopy in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Quasar candidates are selected via their nonstellar colors in ugriz broadband…
