Early-type galaxies in the SDSS
M. Bernardi, R. K. Sheth, J. Annis +28
A sample of nearly 9000 early-type galaxies, in the redshift range 0.01<z<0.3, was selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey using morphological and spectral criteria. The sample…
Infrared Colors of L and T Dwarfs
S. K. Leggett, D. A. Golimowski, X. Fan +2
We discuss the behaviour of the JHKL'M' colors of L and T dwarfs, based on photometric and spectroscopic data obtained at the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope in Hawaii. We have m…
Infrared Classification of L and T Dwarfs
T. R. Geballe, G. R. Knapp, S. K. Leggett +2
We use new and published medium resolution 0.6--2.5 m spectra of L and T dwarfs to develop a unified classification system for both of these new spectral classes. Two indices of…
Extreme BAL Quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Patrick B. Hall, J. E. Gunn, G. R. Knapp +16
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has discovered a population of broad absorption line quasars with various extreme properties. Many show absorption from metastable states of FeII with…
Infrared Spectroscopy of Brown Dwarfs: the onset of methane absorption in L dwarfs and the L/T transition
T. R. Geballe, K. S. Noll, S. K. Leggett +3
We present infrared spectra of brown dwarfs with spectral types from mid-L to T. The 0.9-2.5 m spectra of three dwarfs found by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey contain absorption b…
The SDSS Imaging Pipelines
Robert Lupton, James E. Gunn, Zeljko Ivezic +3
We summarise the properties of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) project, discuss our software infrastructure, and outline the architecture of the SDSS image processing pipelines…
