SDSS-V: Pioneering Panoptic Spectroscopy
Juna A. Kollmeier, Gail Zasowski, Hans-Walter Rix +47
SDSS-V will be an all-sky, multi-epoch spectroscopic survey of over six million objects. It is designed to decode the history of the Milky Way, trace the emergence of the chemical…
The SDSS-IV MaNGA Sample: Design, Optimization, and Usage Considerations
David A. Wake, Kevin Bundy, Aleksandar M. Diamond-Stanic +15
We describe the sample design for the SDSS-IV MaNGA survey and present the final properties of the main samples along with important considerations for using these samples for scie…
An efficient, compact, and versatile fiber double scrambler for high precision radial velocity instruments
Samuel Halverson, Arpita Roy, Suvrath Mahadevan +5
We present the design and test results of a compact optical fiber double-scrambler for high-resolution Doppler radial velocity instruments. This device consists of a single optic:…
Observing Strategy for the SDSS-IV/MaNGA IFU Galaxy Survey
David R. Law, Renbin Yan, Matthew A. Bershady +11
MaNGA (Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory) is an integral-field spectroscopic survey of 10,000 nearby galaxies that is one of three core programs in the fourth-gen…
P-MaNGA: Gradients in Recent Star Formation Histories as Diagnostics for Galaxy Growth and Death
Cheng Li, Enci Wang, Lin Lin +31
We present an analysis of the data produced by the MaNGA prototype run (P-MaNGA), aiming to test how the radial gradients in recent star formation histories, as indicated by the 40…
