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 Luminosity and Mass Functions of Low-Mass Stars in the Galactic Disk: I. The Calibration Region
Kevin R. Covey, Suzanne L. Hawley, John J. Bochanski +6
We present measurements of the luminosity and mass functions of low-mass stars constructed from a catalog of matched Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and 2 Micron All Sky Survey (2M…
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 Fifth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Jennifer K. Adelman-McCarthy
This paper describes the Fifth Data Release (DR5) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). DR5 includes all survey quality data taken through June 2005 and represents the completion…
Optical Multicolor Photometry of Spectrophotometric Standard Stars
Arlo U. Landolt, Alan K. Uomoto
Photoelectric data on the Johnson-Kron-Cousins UBVRI broadband photometric system are provided for a set of stars which have been used as spectrophotometric standard stars at the H…
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…
