The Twentieth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First All-Sky BOSS Spectra, eROSITA-SDSS-V Mapper Coordinated Observations, and a Preview of the Local Volume Mapper
SDSS Collaboration, Mojgan Aghakhanloo, David Aguilar +273
The paper describes the twentieth data release (DR20) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, providing over 3 million new optical spectra from the SDSS‑V Milky Way, Black Hole, and Local…
Optimal and Unbiased Fluxes from Up-the-Ramp Detectors under Variable Illumination
Bowen Li, Kevin A. McKinnon, Andrew K. Saydjari +6
Near-infrared (NIR) detectors -- which use non-destructive readouts to measure time-series counts-per-pixel -- play a crucial role in modern astrophysics. Standard NIR flux extract…
robostrategy: Field and Target Assignment Optimization in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey V
Michael R. Blanton, Joleen K. Carlberg, Tom Dwelly +12
We present an algorithmic method for efficiently planning a long-term, large-scale multi-object spectroscopy program. The Sloan Digital Sky Survey V (SDSS-V) Focal Plane System per…
The Importance of Standardizing Spectra in the Era of Large Spectroscopic Surveys: A Case Study of M Dwarfs in SDSS-V
Ilija Medan, Zachary Way, Bárbara Rojas-Ayala +8
SDSS-V will obtain 100,000s of medium-resolution, optical spectra of M dwarfs with the BOSS instrument. M dwarfs have complex atmospheres, and their spectra contain many wide and d…
Procedures for Constraining Robotic Fiber Positioning for Highly Multiplexed Spectroscopic Surveys: The Case of FPS for SDSS-V
Ilija Medan, Tom Dwelly, Kevin R. Covey +12
One crucial aspect of planning any large scale astronomical survey is constructing an observing strategy that maximizes reduced data quality. This is especially important for surve…
Mapping the Distant and Metal-Poor Milky Way with SDSS-V
Vedant Chandra, Phillip A. Cargile, Alexander P. Ji +28
The fifth-generation Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-V) is conducting the first all-sky low-resolution spectroscopic survey of the Milky Way's stellar halo. We describe the stellar…
