Constraining the Projected Radial Distribution of Galactic Satellites with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Jacqueline Chen, Andrey V. Kravtsov, Francisco Prada +5
We use the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) spectroscopic sample to constrain the projected radial distribution of satellites around isolated ~ L* galaxies. We employ mock galaxy ca…
The Fourth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
J. K. Adelman-McCarthy et al.
This paper describes the fourth data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), including all survey-quality data taken through June 2004. The data release includes five-band…
Detection of Cosmic Magnification with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Ryan Scranton, Brice Menard, Gordon T. Richards +15
We present an 8 sigma detection of cosmic magnification measured by the variation of quasar density due to gravitational lensing by foreground large scale structure. To make this m…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Quasar Catalog III. Third Data Release
D. P. Schneider, P. B. Hall, G. T. Richards +50
We present the third edition of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Quasar Catalog. The catalog consists of the 46,420 objects in the SDSS Third Data Release that have luminosities…
Batch is back: CasJobs, serving multi-TB data on the Web
William OMullane, Nolan Li, Maria Nieto-Santisteban +3
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) science database describes over 140 million objects and is over 1.5 TB in size. The SDSS Catalog Archive Server (CAS) provides several levels of…
When Database Systems Meet the Grid
Maria A. Nieto-Santisteban, Alexander S. Szalay, Aniruddha R. Thakar +3
We illustrate the benefits of combining database systems and Grid technologies for data-intensive applications. Using a cluster of SQL servers, we reimplemented an existing Grid ap…
