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 influence of tight binaries on proto-planetary disk masses
Kevin Flaherty, Peter Knowlton, Tasan Smith-Gandy +5
Binary systems are a common site of planet formation, despite the destructive effects of the binary on the disk. While surveys of planet forming material have found diminished disk…
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…
The Nineteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
SDSS Collaboration, Gautham Adamane Pallathadka, Mojgan Aghakhanloo +209
Mapping the local and distant Universe is key to our understanding of it. For decades, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has made a concerted effort to map millions of celestial…
Sloan Digital Sky Survey-V: Pioneering Panoptic Spectroscopy
Juna A. Kollmeier, Hans-Walter Rix, Conny Aerts +217
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-V (SDSS-V) is pioneering panoptic spectroscopy: it is the first all-sky, multi-epoch, optical-to-infrared spectroscopic survey. SDSS-V is mapping the s…
The eROSITA Final Equatorial Depth Survey (eFEDS): SDSS spectroscopic observations of X-ray sources
Catarina Aydar, Andrea Merloni, Tom Dwelly +45
We present one of the largest uniform optical spectroscopic surveys of X-ray selected sources to date that were observed as a pilot study for the Black Hole Mapper (BHM) survey. Th…
