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…
Optical and Radio Properties of Extragalactic Sources Observed by the FIRST and SDSS Surveys
Z. Ivezic, K. Menou, M. Strauss +6
We discuss the optical and radio properties of 30,000 FIRST sources positionally associated with an SDSS source in 1230 deg of sky. The majority (83%) of the FIRST sources iden…
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 "…
