The Fifteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: First Release of MaNGA Derived Quantities, Data Visualization Tools and Stellar Library
D. S. Aguado, Romina Ahumada, Andres Almeida +230
Twenty years have passed since first light for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Here, we release data taken by the fourth phase of SDSS (SDSS-IV) across its first three years o…
Anomalously low metallicity regions in MaNGA star-forming galaxies: Accretion Caught in Action?
Hsiang-Chih Hwang, Jorge K. Barrera-Ballesteros, Timothy M. Heckman +14
We use data from 1222 late-type star-forming galaxies in the SDSS IV MaNGA survey to identify regions in which the gas-phase metallicity is anomalously-low compared to expectations…
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 Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment
Bela Abolfathi, D. S. Aguado, Gabriela Aguilar +344
The fourth generation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-IV) has been in operation since July 2014. This paper describes the second data release from this phase, and the fourtee…
The SDSS-IV MaNGA Sample: Design, Optimization, and Usage Considerations
David A. Wake, Kevin Bundy, Aleksandar M. Diamond-Stanic +15
We describe the sample design for the SDSS-IV MaNGA survey and present the final properties of the main samples along with important considerations for using these samples for scie…
An advanced scattered moonlight model for Cerro Paranal
Amy Jones, Stefan Noll, Wolfgang Kausch +2
The largest natural source of light at night is the Moon, and it is the major contributor to the astronomical sky background. Being able to accurately predict the sky background, i…
The Data Reduction Pipeline for the SDSS-IV MaNGA IFU Galaxy Survey
David R. Law, Brian Cherinka, Renbin Yan +26
Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) is an optical fiber-bundle integral-field unit (IFU) spectroscopic survey that is one of three core programs in the four…
