The Sloan Digital Sky Survey quasar catalog: tenth data release
Isabelle Pâris, Patrick Petitjean, Éric Aubourg +47
We present the Data Release 10 Quasar (DR10Q) catalog from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey III. The catalog includes all BOSS obj…
Broad Absorption Line Variability on Multi-Year Timescales in a Large Quasar Sample
N. Filiz Ak, W. N. Brandt, P. B. Hall +10
We present a detailed investigation of the variability of 428 C IV and 235 Si IV Broad Absorption Line (BAL) troughs identified in multi-epoch observations of 291 quasars by the Sl…
Probing the Circumgalactic Medium at High-Redshift Using Composite BOSS Spectra of Strong Lyman-alpha Forest Absorbers
Matthew M. Pieri, Michael J. Mortonson, Stephan Frank +17
We present composite spectra constructed from a sample of 242,150 Lyman-alpha (Lya) forest absorbers at redshifts 2.4<z<3.1 identified in quasar spectra from the Baryon Oscillation…
Characterizing unknown systematics in large scale structure surveys
Nishant Agarwal, Shirley Ho, Adam D. Myers +13
Photometric large scale structure (LSS) surveys probe the largest volumes in the Universe, but are inevitably limited by systematic uncertainties. Imperfect photometric calibration…
A glance at the host galaxy of high-redshift quasars using strong damped Lyman-alpha systems as coronagraphs
Hayley Finley, Patrick Petitjean, Isabelle Pâris +14
We searched quasar spectra from the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) for the rare occurrences where a strong damped Lyman-alpha absorber (DLA) blocks the Bro…
The Tenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data from the SDSS-III Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment
Christopher P. Ahn, Rachael Alexandroff, Carlos Allende Prieto +232
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has been in operation since 2000 April. This paper presents the tenth public data release (DR10) from its current incarnation, SDSS-III. This da…
