Palomar 5 and its tidal tails: New observational results
M. Odenkirchen, E. K. Grebel, W. Dehnen +4
Sloan Digital Sky Survey data for the field of the globular cluster Pal 5 reveal the existence of a long massive stream of tidal debris spanning an arc of 10 degrees on the sky. Pa…
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…
Spectroscopic Target Selection in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: The Quasar Sample
Gordon T. Richards, Xiaohui Fan, Heidi Jo Newberg +18
We describe the algorithm for selecting quasar candidates for optical spectroscopy in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Quasar candidates are selected via their non-stellar colors in "…
