The Rest-frame Optical Colors of 99,000 SDSS Galaxies
V. Smolcic, Z. Ivezic, M. Gacesa +17
We synthesize the rest-frame Stroemgren colors using SDSS spectra for 99,088 galaxies selected from Data Release 1. This narrow-band ~200 AA photometric system (uz, vz, bz, yz), fi…
The Milky Way Tomography with SDSS: I. Stellar Number Density Distribution
Mario Juric, Zeljko Ivezic, Alyson Brooks +23
Abridged: We estimate the distances to ~48 million stars detected by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and map their 3D number density distribution in 100 < D < 20 kpc range over 6,500…
Spectroscopic Target Selection in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: The Main Galaxy Sample
Michael A. Strauss, David H. Weinberg, Robert H. Lupton +1
We describe the algorithm that selects the main sample of galaxies for spectroscopy in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey from the photometric data obtained by the imaging survey. Galaxy…
Higher Order Moments of the Angular Distribution of Galaxies from Early SDSS Data
István Szapudi, Joshua A. Frieman, Roman Scoccimarro +13
We present initial results for counts in cells statistics of the angular distribution of galaxies in early data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). We analyze a rectangular s…
The Angular Correlation Function of Galaxies from Early SDSS Data
SDSS Collaboration, Andrew Connolly, Ryan Scranton +22
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey is one of the first multicolor photometric and spectroscopic surveys designed to measure the statistical properties of galaxies within the local Univer…
The 3D Power Spectrum from Angular Clustering of Galaxies in Early SDSS Data
Scott Dodelson, Vijay K. Narayanan, Max Tegmark +22
Early photometric data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) contain angular positions for 1.5 million galaxies. In companion papers, the angular correlation function and…
