Quasar-Lyman Forest Cross-Correlation from BOSS DR11 : Baryon Acoustic Oscillations
Andreu Font-Ribera, David Kirkby, Nicolas Busca +40
We measure the large-scale cross-correlation of quasars with the Lyman alpha forest absorption, using over 164,000 quasars from Data Release 11 of the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation S…
The Field of Streams: Sagittarius and its Siblings
V. Belokurov, D. B. Zucker, N. W. Evans +18
We use Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 5 (DR5) u,g,r,i,z photometry to study Milky Way halo substructure in the area around the North Galactic Cap. A simple color cut…
Chandra Observations of the Highest Redshift Quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Ohad Shemmer, W. N. Brandt, Donald P. Schneider +7
We present new Chandra observations of 21 z>4 quasars, including 11 sources at z>5. These observations double the number of X-ray detected quasars at z>5, allowing investigation of…
The 2.5 m Telescope of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
James E. Gunn, Walter A. Siegmund, Edward J. Mannery et al
We describe the design, construction, and performance of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Telescope located at Apache Point Observatory. The telescope is a modified two-corrector Ritch…
Magnetic White Dwarfs from the SDSS. The First Data Release
Gary D. Schmidt
Beyond its goals related to the extragalactic universe, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is an effective tool for identifying stellar objects with unusual spectral energy distri…
Galaxy Clustering in Early SDSS Redshift Data
SDSS Collaboration, Idit Zehavi, Michael R. Blanton +4
We present the first measurements of clustering in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) galaxy redshift survey. Our sample consists of 29,300 galaxies with redshifts 5,700 km/s < cz…
