The Third Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
K. Abazajian et al.
This paper describes the Third Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). This release, containing data taken up through June 2003, includes imaging data in five bands ov…
SDSS Data Management and Photometric Quality Assessment
Z. Ivezic, R. H. Lupton, D. Schlegel +24
We summarize the Sloan Digital Sky Survey data acquisition and processing steps, and describe runQA, a pipeline designed for automated data quality assessment. In particular, we sh…
The DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey: First results on galaxy groups
Brian F. Gerke, Jeffrey A. Newman, Marc Davis +13
We use the first 25% of the DEEP2 Galaxy Redshift Survey spectroscopic data to identify groups and clusters of galaxies in redshift space. The data set contains 8370 galaxies with…
NYU-VAGC: a galaxy catalog based on new public surveys
Michael R. Blanton, David J. Schlegel, Michael A. Strauss +12
Here we present the New York University Value-Added Galaxy Catalog (NYU-VAGC), a catalog of local galaxies (mostly below a redshift of about 0.3) based on a set of publicly-release…
Sloan Digital Sky Survey Imaging of Low Galactic Latitude Fields: Technical Summary and Data Release
Douglas P. Finkbeiner, Nikhil Padmanabhan, David J. Schlegel
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) mosaic camera and telescope have obtained five-band optical-wavelength imaging near the Galactic plane outside of the nominal survey boundaries.…
WMAP Microwave Emission Interpreted as Dark Matter Annihilation in the Inner Galaxy
Douglas P. Finkbeiner
Excess microwave emission observed in the inner Galaxy (inner ~1 kpc) is consistent with synchrotron emission from highly relativistic electron-positron pairs produced by dark matt…
Anomalously low PAH emission from low-luminosity galaxies
David W. Hogg, Christy A. Tremonti, Michael R. Blanton +5
The Spitzer Space Telescope First Look Survey Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) near and mid-infrared imaging data partially overlaps the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), with 313 visua…
The V1647 Ori (IRAS 05436-0007) Protostar and its Environment
Peregrine M. McGehee, J. Allyn Smith, Arne A. Henden +5
We present Sloan Digital Sky Survey and United States Naval Observatory observations of the V1647 Ori protostar and surrounding field near NGC 2068. V1647 Ori, the likely driving s…
Microwave ISM Emission in the Green Bank Galactic Plane Survey: Evidence for Spinning Dust
Douglas P. Finkbeiner, Glen I. Langston, Anthony H. Minter
We observe significant dust-correlated emission outside of H II regions in the Green Bank Galactic Plane Survey (-4 < b < 4 degrees) at 8.35 and 14.35 GHz. The rising spectral slop…
Near-Infrared Photometry and Spectroscopy of L and T Dwarfs: the Effects of Temperature, Clouds, and Gravity
G. R. Knapp, S. K. Leggett, X. Fan +3
We present JHK photometry and spectroscopy for a sample of newly identified L and T dwarfs from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and known dwarfs from the SDSS and the Two Micro…
The Second Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
K. Abazajian et al.
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has validated and made publicly available its Second Data Release. This data release consists of 3324 square degrees of five-band (u g r i z) imaging d…
Variable Faint Optical Sources Discovered by Comparing POSS and SDSS Catalogs
B. Sesar, D. Svilkovic, Z. Ivezic +14
We present a study of variable faint optical sources discovered by comparing the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the Palomar Observatory Sky Survey (POSS) catalogs. We use SDSS…
