High-Redshift Quasars Found in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Commissioning Data V. Hobby-Eberly Telescope Observations
Donald P. Schneider, Xiaohui Fan, Michael A. Strauss +5
We report the discovery of 27 quasars with redshifts between 3.58 and 4.49. The objects were identified as high-redshift candidates based on their colors in Sloan Digital Sky Surve…
High-Redshift Quasars Found in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Commissioning Data IV: Luminosity Function from the Fall Equatorial Stripe Sampl
X. Fan, M. A. Strauss, D. P. Schneider +7
This is the fourth paper in a series aimed at finding high-redshift quasars from five-color imaging data taken along the Celestial Equator by the SDSS. during its commissioning pha…
High-Redshift Quasars Found in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Commissioning Data III: A Color Selected Sample at i^*<20 in the Fall Equatorial Stripe
X. Fan, M. A. Strauss, G. T. Richards +7
This is the third paper in a series aimed at finding high-redshift quasars from five-color (u'g'r'i'z') imaging data taken along the Celestial Equator by the SDSS during its commis…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey: Technical Summary
D. G. York
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) will provide the data to support detailed investigations of the distribution of luminous and non- luminous matter in the Universe: a photometric…
The Missing Link: Early Methane ("T") Dwarfs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
S. K. Leggett, T. R. Geballe, Xiaohui Fan
We report the discovery of three cool brown dwarfs which fall in the effective temperature gap between the latest L dwarfs currently known, with no methane absorption bands in the…
Candidate RR Lyrae Stars Found in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Commissioning Data
Z. Ivezic, J. Goldston, K. Finlator
We present a sample of 148 candidate RR Lyrae stars selected from Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) commissioning data for about 100 deg2 of sky surveyed twice with Delta(t) = 1.9946…
Identification of A-colored Stars and Structure in the Halo of the Milky Way from SDSS Commissioning Data
B. Yanny, H. J. Newberg, S. Kent +21
A sample of 4208 objects with magnitude 15 < g* < 22 and colors of main sequence A stars has been selected from 370 square degrees of Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) commissioning…
