Higher Order Moments of the Angular Distribution of Galaxies from Early SDSS Data
István Szapudi, Joshua A. Frieman, Roman Scoccimarro +13
We present initial results for counts in cells statistics of the angular distribution of galaxies in early data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We analyze a rectangular s…
SDSS J124602.54+011318.8: A Highly Luminous Optical Transient at z=0.385
D. E. Vanden Berk, B. C. Lee, B. C. Wilhite +13
We report the discovery of a highly luminous optical transient (OT), SDSS J124602.54+011318.8, associated with a galaxy at a redshift of 0.385. In this paper we consider the possib…
Early-type galaxies in the SDSS
M. Bernardi, R. K. Sheth, J. Annis +28
A sample of nearly 9000 early-type galaxies, in the redshift range 0.01<z<0.3, was selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey using morphological and spectral criteria. The sample…
Evidence for Reionization at z ~ 6: Detection of a Gunn-Peterson Trough in a z=6.28 Quasar
Robert H. Becker, Xiaohui Fan, Richard L. White +27
We present moderate resolution Keck spectroscopy of quasars at z=5.82, 5.99 and 6.28, discovered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We find that the Ly Alpha absorption in the…
The Angular Correlation Function of Galaxies from Early SDSS Data
SDSS Collaboration, Andrew Connolly, Ryan Scranton +22
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey is one of the first multicolor photometric and spectroscopic surveys designed to measure the statistical properties of galaxies within the local Univer…
Color Separation of Galaxy Types in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Imaging Data
Iskra Strateva, Zeljko Ivezic, Gillian R. Knapp +2
We study the optical colors of 147,920 galaxies brighter than g* = 21, observed in five bands by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) over ~100 sq. deg. of high Galactic latitude sk…
