The Milky Way Tomography with SDSS: III. Stellar Kinematics
N. A. Bond, Z. Ivezic, B. Sesar +2
We study Milky Way kinematics using a sample of 18.8 million main-sequence stars with r<20 and proper-motion measurements derived from SDSS and POSS astrometry, including ~170,000…
The Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
K. Abazajian
This paper describes the Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), marking the completion of the original goals of the SDSS and the end of the phase known as SDS…
Lessons Learned from Sloan Digital Sky Survey Operations
S. J. Kleinman, J. E. Gunn, B. Boroski +12
Astronomy is changing. Large projects, large collaborations, and large budgets are becoming the norm. The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is one example of this new astronomy, and…
The Milky Way Tomography with SDSS: II. Stellar Metallicity
Zeljko Ivezic, Branimir Sesar, Mario Juric +50
Using effective temperature and metallicity derived from SDSS spectra for ~60,000 F and G type main sequence stars (0.2<g-r<0.6), we develop polynomial models for estimating these…
First-Year Spectroscopy for the SDSS-II Supernova Survey
Chen Zheng, Roger W. Romani, Masao Sako +77
This paper presents spectroscopy of supernovae discovered in the first season of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II Supernova Survey. This program searches for and measures multi-band…
A Measurement of the Rate of type-Ia Supernovae at Redshift 0.1 from the First Season of the SDSS-II Supernova Survey
Benjamin Dilday, R. Kessler, J. A. Frieman +50
We present a measurement of the rate of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the first of three seasons of data from the SDSS-II Supernova Survey. For this measurement, we include 17 S…
