Spectroscopic Target Selection in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: The Main Galaxy Sample
- M. Strauss, D. Weinberg, R. Lupton, Vijay K. Narayanan et al.
- 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, +45 authors 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 0.72h −3 Gpc 3 over…
NEW YORK UNIVERSITY VALUE-ADDED GALAXY CATALOG: A GALAXY CATALOG BASED ON NEW PUBLIC SURVEYS
- M. Blanton, D. Schlegel, +12 authors I. Zehavi
- Physics
- 1 June 2005
Here we present the New York University Value-Added Galaxy Catalog (NYU-VAGC), a catalog of local galaxies (mostly below z ≈ 0.3) based on a set of publicly released surveys matched to the Sloan…
The eleventh and twelfth data releases of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: final data from SDSS-III
- S. Alam, F. D. Albareti, +725 authors Key Laboratory of Optical Astronomy
- Geology, Physics
- 5 January 2015
The third generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-III) took data from 2008 to 2014 using the original SDSS wide-field imager, the original and an upgraded multi-object fiber-fed optical…
The Milky Way Tomography with SDSS. I. Stellar Number Density Distribution
Using the photometric parallax method we estimate the distances to ~48 million stars detected by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and map their three-dimensional number density distribution in the…
The sloan digital sky survey quasar catalog. - V. Seventh data release
- D. Schneider, G. Richards, +45 authors 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 ninth data release of the sloan digital sky survey: First spectroscopic data from the sdss-iii baryon oscillation spectroscopic survey
- SDSS-III Collaboration Christopher P. Ahn, R. Alexandroff, +223 authors 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…
Spectroscopic Target Selection for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: The Luminous Red Galaxy Sample
- D. Eisenstein, J. Annis, +25 authors B. Yanny
- Physics
- 9 August 2001
We describe the target selection and resulting properties of a spectroscopic sample of luminous red galaxies (LRGs) from the imaging data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). These galaxies are…
The Eighth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Data from SDSS-III
- SDSS-III collaboration Hiroaki Aihara, C. Prieto, +177 authors I. Zehavi
- Physics
- 8 January 2011
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) started a new phase in 2008 August, with new instrumentation and new surveys focused on Galactic structure and chemical evolution, measurements of the baryon…
A Survey of z > 5.8 quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey I: Discovery of three new quasars and the spatial density of luminous quasars at z ~ 6
- Xiaohui Fan, V. Narayanan, +11 authors E. al.
- Physics
- 3 August 2001
We present the results from a survey of i-dropout objects selected from ~1550 deg2 of multicolor imaging data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey to search for luminous quasars at z 5.8. Objects with…
