The Multi-Object, Fiber-Fed Spectrographs for SDSS and the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey
Stephen Smee, James E. Gunn, Alan Uomoto +61
We present the design and performance of the multi-object fiber spectrographs for the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and their upgrade for the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Sur…
GALEX and Pan-STARRS1 Discovery of SN IIP 2010aq: The First Few Days After Shock Breakout in a Red Supergiant Star
S. Gezari, A. Rest, M. E. Huber +34
We present the early UV and optical light curve of Type IIP supernova (SN) 2010aq at z=0.0862, and compare it to analytical models for thermal emission following SN shock breakout…
SN 2009kf : a UV bright type IIP supernova discovered with Pan-STARRS 1 and GALEX
M. T. Botticella, C. Trundle, A. Pastorello +43
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of a luminous type IIP Supernova 2009kf discovered by the Pan-STARRS 1 (PS1) survey and detected also by GALEX. The SN shows a…
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…
The First Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
The SDSS collaboration, Kevork Abazajian
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has validated and made publicly available its First Data Release. This consists of 2099 square degrees of five-band (u, g, r, i, z) imaging data, 186,2…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Quasar Catalog I. Early Data Release
Donald P. Schneider, Gordon T. Richards, Xiaohui Fan +9
We present the first edition of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Quasar Catalog. The catalog consists of the 3814 objects (3000 discovered by the SDSS) in the initial SDSS publi…
Composite Quasar Spectra From the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
SDSS Collaboration, Daniel E. Vanden Berk
We have created a variety of composite quasar spectra using a homogeneous data set of over 2200 spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The quasar sample spans a redshift…
High-Redshift Quasars Found in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Commissioning Data VI. Sloan Digital Sky Survey Spectrograph Observations
Scott F. Anderson, Xiaohui Fan, Gordon T. Richards +4
We present results on over 100 high-redshift quasars found in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), using automated selection algorithms applied to SDSS imaging data and with spectr…
Colors of 2625 Quasars at 0<z<5 Measured in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Photometric System
Gordon T. Richards, Xiaohui Fan, Donald P. Schneider +3
We present an empirical investigation of the colors of quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) photometric system. The sample studied includes 2625 quasars with SDSS photome…
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…
The Luminosity Function of Galaxies in SDSS Commissioning Data
SDSS Collaboration, M. R. Blanton
During commissioning observations, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has produced one of the largest existing galaxy redshift samples selected from CCD images. Using 11,275 galax…
