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...
متن کاملThe 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...
متن کاملMapping the Cosmic Web with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Wide-angle, moderately deep redshift surveys such as that conducted as part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) allow study of the relationship between the structural elements of the large-scale distribution of galaxies – including groups, cluster, superclusters, and voids – and the dependence of galaxy formation and evolution on these enviroments. We present a progress report on mapping eff...
متن کاملMapping the Global Impact of Sloan Digital Sky Survey
The scientific capacity of a country is essential in today’s increasingly globalized science and technology ecosystem. Scientific capacity has four increasingly advanced levels of capabilities: absorbing, applying, creating, and retaining scientific knowledge [5]. Moving to a advanced level requires additional skills and training. For example, it requires more specialized skills to apply scient...
متن کاملThe shapes of galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
We determine the underlying shapes of spiral and elliptical galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 6 from the observed distribution of projected galaxy shapes, taking into account the effects of dust extinction and reddening. We assume that the underlying shapes of spirals and ellipticals are well approximated by triaxial ellipsoids. The elliptical galaxy data are consistent with...
