The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Quasar Catalog IV. Fifth Data Release

Donald P. Schneider, Patrick B. Hall, Gordon T. Richards +41

We present the fourth edition of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Quasar Catalog. The catalog contains 77,429 objects; this is an increase of over 30,000 entries since the previ…

Clustering of High Redshift () Quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

Yue Shen, Michael A. Strauss, Masamune Oguri +13

(Abridged) We study the two-point correlation function of a uniformly selected sample of 4,426 luminous optical quasars with redshift selected over 4041 deg…

The SDSS Quasar Survey: Quasar Luminosity Function from Data Release Three

Gordon T. Richards, Michael A. Strauss, Xiaohui Fan +19

We determine the number counts and z=0-5 luminosity function for a well-defined, homogeneous sample of quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We conservatively define th…

Broad Emission Line Shifts in Quasars: An Orientation Measure for Radio-Quiet Quasars?

Gordon T. Richards, Daniel E. Vanden Berk, Timothy A. Reichard +5

Using a sample of 3814 quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we confirm that high-ionization, broad, emission lines such as CIV are significantly blueshifted with respect to l…

Stellar Masses and Star Formation Histories for 10^5 Galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

Guinevere Kauffmann, Timothy M. Heckman, Simon D. M. White +19

We develop a new method to constrain the star formation histories, dust attenuation and stellar masses of galaxies. It is based on two stellar absorption line indices, the 4000 Ang…
