The Galaxy Luminosity Function and Luminosity Density at Redshift z=0.1
Michael R. Blanton, David W. Hogg, J. Brinkmann +16
Using a catalog of 147,986 galaxy redshifts and fluxes from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) we measure the galaxy luminosity density at z=0.1 in five optical bandpasses corresp…
The Broad-band Optical Properties of Galaxies with Redshifts 0.0 < z < 0.2
M. R. Blanton, D. W. Hogg, N. A. Bahcall +18
Using photometry and spectroscopy of 144,609 galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, we present bivariate distributions of pairs of seven galaxy properties: four optical colors…
Two-Dimensional Topology of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Fiona Hoyle, Michael S. Vogeley, J. Richard Gott +6
We present the topology of a volume-limited sample of 11,884 galaxies, selected from an apparent-magnitude limited sample of over 100,000 galaxies observed as part of the Sloan Dig…
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…
Estimating Fixed Frame Galaxy Magnitudes in the SDSS
Michael R. Blanton, J. Brinkmann, Istvan Csabai +6
Broad-band measurements of flux for galaxies at different redshifts measure different regions of the rest-frame galaxy spectrum. Certain astronomical questions, such as the evoluti…
The luminosity density of red galaxies
David W. Hogg, Michael Blanton, Iskra Strateva
A complete sample of galaxies with five-band imaging and spectroscopic redshifts from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey is used to determine the fraction of the optical…
