- 1 April 2008
In addition to optical photometry of unprecedented quality, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is producing a massive spectroscopic database which already contains over 280,000 stellar spectra.… Expand
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Quasar Catalog IV. Fifth Data Release
- D. Schneider, P. Hall, +41 authors J. Wu
- Physics
- 5 April 2007
We present the fourth edition of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Quasar Catalog. The catalog contains 77,429 objects; this is an increase of over 30,000 entries since the previous edition. The… Expand
A Catalog of broad absorption line quasars from the sloan digital sky survey third data release
We present a total of 4784 unique broad absorption line quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Third Data Release. An automated algorithm was used to match a continuum to each quasar and to… Expand
White dwarf mass distribution in the SDSS
- S. O. Kepler, S. Kleinman, +5 authors L. Althaus
- Physics
- 11 December 2006
We determined masses for the 7167 DA and 507 DB white dwarf stars classified as single and non-magnetic in Data Release 4 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We obtained revised T eff and log g… Expand
Cats and dogs, hair and a hero: A quintet of new milky way companions
- V. Belokurov, D. Zucker, +31 authors S. Snedden
- Physics
- 21 August 2006
We present five new satellites of the Milky Way discovered in Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) imaging data, four of which were followed-up with either the Subaru or the Isaac Newton Telescopes. They… Expand
An Improved Photometric Calibration of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Imaging Data
- N. Padmanabhan, D. Schlegel, +21 authors D. Tucker

We present an algorithm to photometrically calibrate wide field optical imaging surveys, that simultaneously solves for the calibration parameters and relative stellar fluxes using overlapping… Expand
Photometric Response Functions of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Imager
The monochromatic illumination system is constructed to carry out in situ measurements of the response function of the mosaicked CCD imager used in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The system is… Expand
