چکیده

APOGEE-2 is a dual-hemisphere, near-infrared (NIR), spectroscopic survey with the goal of producing chemo-dynamical mapping Milky Way Galaxy. The targeting for complex and has evolved time. In this paper, we present updates additions to initial strategy APOGEE-2N presented in Zasowski et al. (2017). These modifications come two implementation modes: (i) "Ancillary Science Programs" competitively awarded SDSS-IV PIs through proposal calls 2015 2017 pursuit new scientific avenues outside main survey, (ii) an effective 1.5-year expansion known as Bright Time Extension, made possible accrued efficiency gains over first years project. For 23 distinct ancillary programs, provide descriptions aims, target selection, how identify these targets within sample. Extension permitted changes strategy, inclusion programs response discoveries or exploit major datasets not available at outset design, expansions existing enhance their success reach. After describing motivations, implementation, assessment also leave summary lessons learned from nearly decade APOGEE-1 operations. A companion Santana (submitted), provides complementary presentation relevant operations Southern Hemisphere.

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) will carry out a digital photometric and spectroscopic survey over π steradians in the northern Galactic cap. An array of CCD detectors used in drift-scan mode will image the sky in five passbands to a limiting magnitude of r′ ∼ 23. Selected from the imaging survey, 10 galaxies, 10 quasars and selected samples of stars will be observed spectroscopically. In a...

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey is an ambitious, multi-institutional project to create a huge digital imaging and spectroscopic data bank of 25% of the celestial sphere, approximately 10,000 deg2 centred on the north galactic polar cap. The photometric atlas will be in 5 specially-chosen colours, covering the π ster of the Survey area to a limiting magnitude of r′∼23.1, on 0′′ . 4 pixels, resultin...

An Efficient Targeting Strategy for Multiobject Spectrograph Surveys: the Sloan Digital Sky Survey "Tiling" Algorithm

Large surveys using multiobject spectrographs require automated methods for deciding how to efficiently point observations and how to assign targets to each pointing. The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) will observe around 106 spectra from targets distributed over an area of about 10,000 deg2, using a multiobject fiber spectrograph that can simultaneously observe 640 objects in a circular field...

The clustering of active galactic nuclei in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

We present the two-point correlation function (2PCF) of narrow-line active galactic nuclei (AGNs) selected within the First Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Using a sample of 13,605 AGNs in the redshift range , we find that the AGN autocorrelation function is consistent with the observed galaxy 0.055 ! z ! 0.2 autocorrelation function on scales from 0.2 to greater than 100 h 1 Mpc....
