Colors of 2625 Quasars at 0<z<5 Measured in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Photometric System
Gordon T. Richards, Xiaohui Fan, Donald P. Schneider +3
We present an empirical investigation of the colors of quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) photometric system. The sample studied includes 2625 quasars with SDSS photome…
Detection of massive tidal tails around the globular cluster Pal 5 with SDSS commissioning data
M. Odenkirchen, E. K. Grebel, C. M. Rockosi +17
We report the discovery of two well-defined tidal tails emerging from the sparse remote globular cluster Palomar 5. These tails stretch out symmetrically to both sides of the clust…
The Luminosity Function of Galaxies in SDSS Commissioning Data
SDSS Collaboration, M. R. Blanton
During commissioning observations, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has produced one of the largest existing galaxy redshift samples selected from CCD images. Using 11,275 galax…
The First Hour of Extra-galactic Data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Spectroscopic Commissioning: The Coma Cluster
SDSS Collaboration, Francisco J. Castander, Robert C. Nichol +6
On 26 May 1999, one of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) fiber-fed spectrographs saw astronomical first light. This was followed by the first spectroscopic commissioning run duri…
Discovery of a Close Pair of z = 4.25 Quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Donald P. Schneider, Xiaohui Fan, Michael A. Strauss +17
We report the discovery of a pair of z = 4.25 quasars with a separation of 33 arcseconds. The brighter of the two objects was identified as a high-redshift quasar candidate from Sl…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey: Technical Summary
D. G. York
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) will provide the data to support detailed investigations of the distribution of luminous and non- luminous matter in the Universe: a photometric…
