Weak Lensing with SDSS Commissioning Data: The Galaxy-Mass Correlation Function To 1/h Mpc

SDSS Collaboration, Fischer

(abridged) We present measurements of galaxy-galaxy lensing from early commissioning imaging data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We measure a mean tangential shear aroun…

Reconstructing Galaxy Spectral Energy Distributions from Broadband Photometry

I. Csabai, A. J. Connolly, A. S. Szalay +1

We present a novel approach to photometric redshifts, one that merges the advantages of both the template fitting and empirical fitting algorithms, without any of their disadvantag…

The Low Resolution Spectrograph of the Hobby-Eberly Telescope II. Observations of Quasar Candidates from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

D. P. Schneider, Gary J. Hill, X. Fan +1

This paper describes spectra of quasar candidates acquired during the commissioning phase of the Low-Resolution Spectrograph of the Hobby-Eberly Telescope. The objects were identif…

High-Redshift Quasars Found in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Commissioning Data II: The Spring Equatorial Stripe

SDSS Collaboration, Xiaohui Fan

This is the second paper in a series aimed at finding high-redshift quasars from five-color (u'g'r'i'z') imaging data taken along the Celestial Equator by the Sloan Digital Sky Sur…

The Discovery of a High-redshift Quasar without Emission Lines from Sloan Digital Sky Survey Commissioning Data

SDSS Collaboration, Xiaohui Fan

We report observations of a luminous unresolved object at redshift z = 4.62, with a featureless optical spectrum redward of the Lyman alpha forest region, discovered from Sloan Dig…

L Dwarfs Found in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Commissioning Imaging Data

SDSS Collaboration, Xiaohui Fan

This paper describes the discovery of seven dwarf objects of spectral type `L' (objects cooler than the latest M dwarfs) in commissioning imaging data taken by the Sloan Digital Sk…
