The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II Supernova Survey: Technical Summary
Joshua A. Frieman, B. Bassett, A. Becker +98
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II (SDSS-II) has embarked on a multi-year project to identify and measure light curves for intermediate-redshift (0.05 < z < 0.35) Type Ia supernovae (…
Discovery of an Unusual Dwarf Galaxy in the Outskirts of the Milky Way
M. J. Irwin, V. Belokurov, N. W. Evans +24
In this Letter, we announce the discovery of a new dwarf galaxy, Leo T, in the Local Group. It was found as a stellar overdensity in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 5 (SD…
Cats and Dogs, Hair and A Hero: A Quintet of New Milky Way Companions
V. Belokurov, D. B. Zucker, N. W. Evans +31
We present five new satellites of the Milky Way discovered in Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) imaging data, four of which were followed-up with either the Subaru or the Isaac Newto…
The 2.5 m Telescope of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
James E. Gunn, Walter A. Siegmund, Edward J. Mannery et al
We describe the design, construction, and performance of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Telescope located at Apache Point Observatory. The telescope is a modified two-corrector Ritch…
A Lyman-alpha-only AGN from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Patrick B. Hall, Erik A. Hoversten, Christy A. Tremonti +7
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has discovered a z=2.4917 radio-loud active galactic nucleus (AGN) with a luminous, variable, low-polarization UV continuum, H I two-photon emission, a…
Magnetic White Dwarfs from the SDSS. The First Data Release
Gary D. Schmidt
Beyond its goals related to the extragalactic universe, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is an effective tool for identifying stellar objects with unusual spectral energy distri…
