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…
The First Hour of Extra-galactic Data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Spectroscopic Commissioning: The Coma Cluster
SDSS Collaboration, Francisco J. Castander, Robert C. Nichol +6
On 26 May 1999, one of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) fiber-fed spectrographs saw astronomical first light. This was followed by the first spectroscopic commissioning run duri…
High-Redshift Quasars Found in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Commissioning Data IV: Luminosity Function from the Fall Equatorial Stripe Sampl
X. Fan, M. A. Strauss, D. P. Schneider +7
This is the fourth paper in a series aimed at finding high-redshift quasars from five-color imaging data taken along the Celestial Equator by the SDSS. during its commissioning pha…
High-Redshift Quasars Found in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Commissioning Data III: A Color Selected Sample at i^*<20 in the Fall Equatorial Stripe
X. Fan, M. A. Strauss, G. T. Richards +7
This is the third paper in a series aimed at finding high-redshift quasars from five-color (u'g'r'i'z') imaging data taken along the Celestial Equator by the SDSS during its commis…
