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…
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…
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…
Exploring the Variable Sky with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Branimir Sesar, Zeljko Ivezic, Robert H. Lupton +29
We quantify the variability of faint unresolved optical sources using a catalog based on multiple SDSS imaging observations. The catalog covers SDSS Stripe 82, and contains 58 mill…
An Improved Photometric Calibration of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Imaging Data
N. Padmanabhan, D. J. Schlegel, D. P. Finkbeiner +21
We present an algorithm to photometrically calibrate wide field optical imaging surveys, that simultaneously solves for the calibration parameters and relative stellar fluxes using…
SDSS spectroscopic survey of stars
Z. Ivezic, D. Schlegel, A. Uomoto +37
In addition to optical photometry of unprecedented quality, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is also producing a massive spectroscopic database. We discuss determination of stel…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Monitor Telescope Pipeline
D. L. Tucker, S. Kent, M. W. Richmond +31
The photometric calibration of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is a multi-step process which involves data from three different telescopes: the 1.0-m telescope at the US Naval…
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…
The Third Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
K. Abazajian et al.
This paper describes the Third Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). This release, containing data taken up through June 2003, includes imaging data in five bands ov…
Cosmological parameter analysis including SDSS Ly-alpha forest and galaxy bias: constraints on the primordial spectrum of fluctuations, neutrino mass, and dark energy
U. Seljak, A. Makarov, P. McDonald +18
We combine the constraints from the recent Ly-alpha forest and bias analysis of the SDSS with previous constraints from SDSS galaxy clustering, the latest supernovae, and WMAP . Co…
The Second Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
K. Abazajian et al.
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has validated and made publicly available its Second Data Release. This data release consists of 3324 square degrees of five-band (u g r i z) imaging d…
Cosmological Parameters from Eigenmode Analysis of Sloan Digital Sky Survey Galaxy Redshifts
Adrian C. Pope, Takahiko Matsubara, Alexander S. Szalay +23
We present estimates of cosmological parameters from the application of the Karhunen-Loeve transform to the analysis of the 3D power spectrum of density fluctuations using Sloan Di…
A Gravitationally Lensed Quasar with Quadruple Images Separated by 14.62 Arcseconds
N. Inada, M. Oguri, B. Pindor +29
Gravitational lensing is a powerful tool for the study of the distribution of dark matter in the Universe. The cold-dark-matter model of the formation of large-scale structures pre…
The 3D power spectrum of galaxies from the SDSS
M Tegmark, M Blanton, M Strauss +32
We measure the large-scale real-space power spectrum P(k) using a sample of 205,443 galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, covering 2417 square degrees with mean redshift z~0.…
Cosmological parameters from SDSS and WMAP
M. Tegmark, M. Strauss, M. Blanton +34
We measure cosmological parameters using the three-dimensional power spectrum P(k) from over 200,000 galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) in combination with WMAP and ot…
A Low Latitude Halo Stream around the Milky Way
Brian Yanny, Heidi Jo Newberg, Eva K. Grebel +11
We present evidence for a ring of stars in the plane of the Milky Way, extending at least from l = 180 deg to l = 227 deg with turnoff magnitude ; the ring could encir…
Astrometric Calibration of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Jeffrey R. Pier, Jeffrey A. Munn, Robert B. Hindsley +4
The astrometric calibration of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey is described. For point sources brighter than r ~ 20 the astrometric accuracy is 45 milliarcseconds (mas) rms per coordi…
