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…
The SDSS Quasar Survey: Quasar Luminosity Function from Data Release Three
Gordon T. Richards, Michael A. Strauss, Xiaohui Fan +19
We determine the number counts and z=0-5 luminosity function for a well-defined, homogeneous sample of quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We conservatively define th…
The SDSS View of the Palomar-Green Bright Quasar Survey
Sebastian Jester, Donald P. Schneider, Gordon T. Richards +12
We investigate the extent to which the Palomar-Green (PG) Bright Quasar Survey (BQS) is complete and representative of the general quasar population by comparing with imaging and s…
The Lyman-alpha Forest Power Spectrum from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Patrick McDonald, Uros Seljak, Scott Burles +8
We measure the power spectrum, P_F(k,z), of the transmitted flux in the Ly-alpha forest using 3035 high redshift quasar spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. This sample is al…
Observations and Theoretical Implications of the Large Separation Lensed Quasar SDSS J1004+4112
M. Oguri, N. Inada, C. R. Keeton +25
We study the recently discovered gravitational lens SDSS J1004+4112, the first quasar lensed by a cluster of galaxies. It consists of four images with a maximum separation of 14.62…
Angular Clustering with Photometric Redshifts in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: Bimodality in the Clustering Properties of Galaxies
Tamas Budavari, Andrew J. Connolly, Alexander S. Szalay +18
Understanding the clustering of galaxies has long been a goal of modern observational cosmology. Utilizing our photometric redshift technique a volume limited sample containing mor…
