The shapes of galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (2008, methodology): “Shao et al. (2007) measured dust extinction in spiral SDSS DR2 (Abazajian et al. 2004) galaxies by studying the luminosity function (LF) of galaxies with different inclination angles, and using the intrinsic galaxy shapes as inferred from the distribution of projected axis ratios.”
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).”
The clustering of galaxies in the completed SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: observational systematics and baryon acoustic oscillations in the correlation function (2016, unknown): “…(via the Schlegel, Finkbeiner & Davis 1998 dust maps), ifib2 is the i-band magnitude within a 2′′ aperture, the subscript mod denotes ‘model’ magnitudes (Stoughton et al. 2002), the subscript cmod denotes ‘cmodel’ magnitudes (Abazajian et al. 2004), and d⊥ = rmod − imod − (gmod − rmod)/8.0.”
THE ELEVENTH AND TWELFTH DATA RELEASES OF THE SLOAN DIGITAL SKY SURVEY: FINAL DATA FROM SDSS-III (2015, methodology): “The Early Data Release (EDR; Stoughton et al. 2002), and Data Releases 1–5 (DR1; Abazajian et al. 2003, DR2; Abazajian et al. 2004, DR3; Abazajian et al. 2005, DR4; Adelman-McCarthy et al. 2006, and DR5; AdelmanMcCarthy et al. 2007) included data from SDSS-I.”
The kinematic connection between galaxies and dark matter haloes (2010, background): “The SDSS (York et al. 2000; Stoughton et al. 2002; Abazajian et al. 2004; AdelmanMcCarthy et al. 2006) is an extensive photometric and spectroscopic survey of the local universe.”
EMERGE – an empirical model for the formation of galaxies since z ∼ 10 (2017, methodology): “All data sets are are based on the Sloan Digital Sky Survery (York et al. 2000), but while Li et al. (2006) use the Data Release 2 (DR2; Abazajian et al. 2004), Guo et al. (2011) and Yang et al. (2012) use the Data Release 7 (DR7; Abazajian et al. 2009).”
KEPLER INPUT CATALOG: PHOTOMETRIC CALIBRATION AND STELLAR CLASSIFICATION (2011, methodology): “Changes in methods for fitting “model” magnitudes gave modest reductions in the scatter for stellar magnitudes, but left the mean zero points unchanged (Abazajian et al. 2004).”
Properties of galaxy groups in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey – I. The dependence of colour, star formation and morphology on halo mass (2005, methodology): “The NYU-VAGC is based on the SDSS Data Release 2 (DR2) (Abazajian et al. 2004), but with an independent set of significantly improved reductions.”
Great Optically Luminous Dropout Research Using Subaru HSC (GOLDRUSH). I. UV Luminosity Functions at $z \sim 4-7$ Derived with the Half-Million Dropouts on the 100 deg$^2$ Sky (2017, methodology): “In this study, we estimate total magnitudes and colors of sources by using the cmodel magni- tude, which is a weighted combination of exponential and de Vaucouleurs fits to the light profile of each object (Abazajian et al. 2004; Bosch et al. 2017).”
The WFCAM Science Archive (2006, methodology): “…science applications of the infrared surveys, and include the Sloan Digital Sky Survey catalogue data releases, e.g. Data Releases 2, 3 and 5 (Abazajian et al. 2004; Abazajian et al. 2005; Adelman–McCarthy et al. 2007); the 2MASS point and extended source catalogues (Skrutskie et al. 2006);…”
GALEX–SDSS–WISE LEGACY CATALOG (GSWLC): STAR FORMATION RATES, STELLAR MASSES, AND DUST ATTENUATIONS OF 700,000 LOW-REDSHIFT GALAXIES (2016, methodology): “…modest calibration errors (determined from repeat observations) of (0.052, 0.026, 0.02, 0.01, 0.01, 0.01, 0.01) mag in (FUV, NUV, u, g, r, i, z), plus the u-band red leak error of σu,RL = 0.0865(r − i)2 + 0.0679(r − i), derived in S07 based on the description of red leak in Abazajian et al. 2004.”
The dependence of clustering on galaxy properties (2005, methodology): “In this paper we use the New York University Value Added Catalog (NYU-VAGC)1, which is a catalog of local galaxies (mostly below z ≈ 0.3) constructed by Blanton et al. (2005a) based on the SDSS Data Release Two (DR2, Abazajian et al. 2004).”
Galaxy And Mass Assembly (GAMA): the input catalogue and star–galaxy separation (2009, result): “…versus(g − i)model for objects with∆sg < 1.0 and 17.8 < rpetro < 19.8 (i.e. fainter than SDSS MGS within GAMA 3 ∆sg > 0.3 is the MGS criteria quoted in Strauss et al. (2002) but the limit was later reduced to 0.24 following the change in the model magnitude code at DR2 (Abazajian et al. 2004).”
The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: modelling the clustering and halo occupation distribution of BOSS CMASS galaxies in the Final Data Release (2015, background): “…represent the best fit of the DeVaucouleurs and exponential profile in the r band (Stoughton et al. 2002) and the cmodel magnitudes denote the best-fitting linear combination of the exponential and DeVaucouleurs models (Abazajian et al. 2004). d⊥ is defined as d⊥ = rmod − imod − (gmod − rmod)/8.0.”
NOAO Fundamental Plane Survey. II. Age and Metallicity along the Red Sequence from Line-Strength Data (2005, result): “Comparisons with other surveys We compare our linestrengths with data from two other surveys: ∼140 galaxies overlapping with the second data release from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (Abazajian et al 2004) and 33 Coma Cluster galaxies fromMoore et al. (2002).”
Cosmic Homogeneity Demonstrated with Luminous Red Galaxies (2004, background): “The SDSS (York et al. 2000; Stoughton et al. 2002; Abazajian et al. 2003, 2004) is conducting an imaging survey of 104 deg2 in five bandpasses: u, g, r, i, and z (Fukugita et al. 1996; Gunn et al. 1998).”
Soft X-Ray and Ultraviolet Emission Relations in Optically Selected AGN Samples (2005, methodology): “…area that are targeted) is 95% for point sources with i < 19:1, which drops to 60% for the high-redshift selection at i ¼ 20:2 (Richards et al. 2005; Vanden Berk et al. 2005).7 SDSS DR2 contains over 35,000 AGN spectra in 2630 deg2, covering the observed 3800–91008 region (Abazajian et al. 2004).”
