SDSS J0806+2006 and SDSS J1353+1138: Two New Gravitationally Lensed Quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Naohisa Inada, Masamune Oguri, Robert H. Becker +18
We report the discoveries of two, two-image gravitationally lensed quasars selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: SDSS J0806+2006 at z_s=1.540 and SDSS J1353+1138 at z_s=1.629…
A Survey of z>5.7 Quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV: Discovery of Seven Additional Quasars
Xiaohui Fan, Michael A. Strauss, Gordon T. Richards +27
We present the discovery of seven quasars at z>5.7, selected from ~2000 deg^2 of multicolor imaging data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The new quasars have redshifts z fr…
SDSSJ103913.70+533029.7: A Super Star Cluster in the Outskirts of a Galaxy Merger
G. R. Knapp, C. A. Tremonti, C. M. Rockosi
We describe the serendipitous discovery in the spectroscopic data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey of a star-like object, SDSSJ103913.70+533029.7, at a heliocentric radial velocity…
The Milky Way Tomography with SDSS: I. Stellar Number Density Distribution
Mario Juric, Zeljko Ivezic, Alyson Brooks +23
Abridged: We estimate the distances to ~48 million stars detected by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and map their 3D number density distribution in 100 < D < 20 kpc range over 6,500…
SDSSJ102111.02+491330.4: A Newly Discovered Gravitationally Lensed Quasar
Bart Pindor, Daniel J. Eisenstein, Michael D. Gregg +24
We report follow-up observations of two gravitational lens candidates identified in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) dataset. We have confirmed that SDSS J102111.02+491330.4 is…
Candidate spectroscopic binaries in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
D. Pourbaix, G. R. Knapp, P. Szkody +11
We have examined the radial velocity data for stars spectroscopically observed by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) more than once to investigate the incidence of spectroscopic b…
The Fourth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
J. K. Adelman-McCarthy et al.
This paper describes the fourth data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), including all survey-quality data taken through June 2004. The data release includes five-band…
Ultracompact AM CVn Binaries from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: Three Candidates Plus the First Confirmed Eclipsing System
Scott F. Anderson, Daryl Haggard, Lee Homer +23
AM CVn systems are a rare (about a dozen previously known) class of cataclysmic variables, arguably encompassing the shortest orbital periods (down to about 10 minutes) of any know…
New Low Accretion-Rate Magnetic Binary Systems and their Significance for the Evolution of Cataclysmic Variables
G. D. Schmidt, P. Szkody, K. M. Vanlandingham +14
Discoveries of two new white dwarf plus M star binaries with striking optical cyclotron emission features from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) brings to six the total number of…
The Fall 2004 SDSS Supernova Survey
Masao Sako, Roger Romani, Josh Frieman +38
In preparation for the Supernova Survey of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) II, a proposed 3-year extension to the SDSS, we have conducted an early engineering and science run d…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Quasar Catalog III. Third Data Release
D. P. Schneider, P. B. Hall, G. T. Richards +50
We present the third edition of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Quasar Catalog. The catalog consists of the 46,420 objects in the SDSS Third Data Release that have luminosities…
