The Fifth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (2007, methodology): “This paper presents the Fifth Data Release (DR5) of the SDSS, which follows the Early Data Release (EDR) of commissioning data (Stoughton et al. 2002) and the regular data releases DR1– DR4 (Abazajian et al. 2003, 2004, 2005; Adelman-McCarthy et al. 2006).”
THE SLOAN DIGITAL SKY SURVEY-II SUPERNOVA SURVEY: SEARCH ALGORITHM AND FOLLOW-UP OBSERVATIONS (2007, methodology): “The third and final weight is the “dust weight”, which estimates the amount of dust extinction from both host galaxy morphology and color, and is defined to be, WD = e −deff/d × (1 + 3 fdeV + 5 cellip), (7) The quantity fdeV is the fractional probability of the source being well represented by a de ”
The number and size of subhalo-induced gaps in stellar streams (2016, background): “Unfortunately, only global estimates of the SDSS completeness exist (see e.g. Stoughton et al. 2002; Abazajian et al. 2004).”
EFFICIENT PHOTOMETRIC SELECTION OF QUASARS FROM THE SLOAN DIGITAL SKY SURVEY. II. ∼1, 000, 000 QUASARS FROM DATA RELEASE 6 (2004, methodology): “The characterization of the photometric system is discussed by Fukugita et al. (1996), Hogg et al. (2001), Smith et al. (2002), and Stoughton et al. (2002).”
Clustering of High-Redshift (z ≥ 2.9) Quasars from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (2007, methodology): “In particular: • The version of the quasar target selection algorithm used for the SDSS Early Data Release (Stoughton et al. 2002) and the First Data Release (DR1; Abazajian et al. 2003) did a poor job of selecting objects withz≈ 3.5.”
OPTICAL DISCOVERY OF PROBABLE STELLAR TIDAL DISRUPTION FLARES (2010, methodology): “Using the SDSS morphological star-galaxy separation (Lupton et al. 2001; Stoughton et al. 2002) and the standard checks on quality flags (Stoughton et al. 2002), we extracted ∼ 2.5 106 galaxies from this data set.”
The Ensemble Photometric Variability of ~25,000 Quasars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (2003, methodology): “Objects are selected for spectroscopic follow-up as candidate galaxies (Strauss et al. 2002; Eisenstein et al. 2001), quasars (Richards et al. 2002), and stars (Stoughton et al. 2002).”
The Milky Way’s Circular Velocity Curve to 60 kpc and an Estimate of the Dark Matter Halo Mass from the Kinematics of ~2400 SDSS Blue Horizontal-Branch Stars (2008, methodology): “Photometric calibration is provided by simultaneous observations with a 20-inch telescope at the same site (Hogg et al. 2001; Smith et al. 2002; Stoughton et al. 2002; Tucker et al. 2006).”
Virgo Cluster Early-Type Dwarf Galaxies with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. II. Early-Type Dwarfs with Central Star Formation (2006, background): “It provides reduced and calibrated images taken in the u, g, r, i, and z bands with an effective exposure time of 54s in each band (see also Stoughton et al. 2002).”
A SURVEY OF z ∼ 6 QUASARS IN THE SLOAN DIGITAL SKY SURVEY DEEP STRIPE. I. A FLUX-LIMITED SAMPLE AT zAB < 21 (2007, methodology): “We rejected sources with one or more of the following SDSS processing flags: BRIGHT, EDGE, BLENDED, SATUR, MAYBE CR, and MAYBE EGHOST (see Stoughton et al. 2002).”
The Origin of the Mass-Metallicity Relation: Insights from 53,000 Star-forming Galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (2004, background): “The details of the survey strategy can be found in York et al. (2000) and an overview of the data pipelines and products is provided in the Early Data Release paper (Stoughton et al. 2002).”
Spectroscopic Target Selection in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: The Quasar Sample (2002, methodology): “The imaging survey is done in five broad bands, ugriz (Fukugita et al. 1996; Stoughton et al. 2002), that were specially designed for the survey.”
Soft X-Ray and Ultraviolet Emission Relations in Optically Selected AGN Samples (2005, methodology): “We ensure that all SDSS AGNs considered here were targeted as one of the QSO target subclasses (Stoughton et al. 2002; Richards et al. 2002), excluding objects targeted solely as FIRST or ROSAT sources.”
The Velocity Dispersion Function of Early-Type Galaxies (2003, background): “(See York et al. 2000 for a technical summary of the SDSS project; Stoughton et al. 2002 for a description of the Early Data Release; Gunn et al. 1998 for details about the camera; Fukugita et al. 1996, Hogg et al. 2001 and Smith et al. 2002 for details of the photometric system and calibration;…”
The Optical and Near-Infrared Properties of Galaxies. I. Luminosity and Stellar Mass Functions (2003, methodology): “We find that the area covered by the SDSS spectroscopic sample is 414 square degrees, 90% of the 462 square degrees covered by the EDR imaging data (Stoughton et al. 2002).”
