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…

Simulation of Stellar Objects in SDSS Color Space

Xiaohui Fan

We present a simulation of the spatial, luminosity and spectral distributions of four types of stellar objects. We simulate: (1) Galactic stars, based on a Galactic structure model…
