Lessons Learned from Sloan Digital Sky Survey Operations
S. J. Kleinman, J. E. Gunn, B. Boroski +12
Astronomy is changing. Large projects, large collaborations, and large budgets are becoming the norm. The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is one example of this new astronomy, and…
The Milky Way Tomography with SDSS: II. Stellar Metallicity
Zeljko Ivezic, Branimir Sesar, Mario Juric +50
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…
The SDSS Discovery of a Strongly Lensed Post-Starburst Galaxy at z=0.766
Min-Su Shin, Michael A. Strauss, Masamune Oguri +4
We present the first result of a survey for strong galaxy-galaxy lenses in Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) images. SDSS J082728.70+223256.4 was selected as a lensing candidate usin…
Optical Cluster-Finding with An Adaptive Matched-Filter Technique: Algorithm and Comparison with Simulations
Feng Dong, Elena Pierpaoli, James E. Gunn +1
We present a modified adaptive matched filter algorithm designed to identify clusters of galaxies in wide-field imaging surveys such as the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The cluster-fi…
A New Technique for Galaxy Photometric Redshifts in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
James J. Wray, James E. Gunn
Traditional photometric redshift methods use only color information about the objects in question to estimate their redshifts. This paper introduces a new method utilizing colors,…
A Catalogue of Morphologically Classified Galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: North Equatorial Region
Masataka Fukugita, Osamu Nakamura, Sadanori Okamura +10
We present a catalogue of morphologically classified bright galaxies in the north equatorial stripe (230 deg) derived from the Third Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surve…
