Cosmic homogeneity demonstrated with luminous red galaxies

David W. Hogg, Daniel J. Eisenstein, Michael R. Blanton +4

We test the homogeneity of the Universe at with the Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) spectroscopic sample of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. First, the mean number of LRG…

The Third Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

K. Abazajian et al.

This paper describes the Third Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). This release, containing data taken up through June 2003, includes imaging data in five bands ov…

NYU-VAGC: a galaxy catalog based on new public surveys

Michael R. Blanton, David J. Schlegel, Michael A. Strauss +12

Here we present the New York University Value-Added Galaxy Catalog (NYU-VAGC), a catalog of local galaxies (mostly below a redshift of about 0.3) based on a set of publicly-release…

Efficient Photometric Selection of Quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: 100,000 z<3 Quasars from Data Release One

Gordon T. Richards, Robert C. Nichol, Alexander G. Gray +15

We present a catalog of 100,563 unresolved, UV-excess (UVX) quasar candidates to g=21 from 2099 deg^2 of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release One (DR1) imaging data. Ex…

An Empirical Algorithm for Broad-band Photometric Redshifts of Quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

Michael A. Weinstein, Gordon T. Richards, Donald P. Schneider +7

We present an empirical algorithm for obtaining photometric redshifts of quasars using 5-band Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) photometry. Our algorithm generates an empirical model…

The Luminosity and Color Dependence of the Galaxy Correlation Function

I. Zehavi, Z. Zheng, D. H. Weinberg +24

We study the luminosity and color dependence of the galaxy 2-point correlation function in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, starting from a sample of 200,000 galaxies over 2500 deg^2.…
