This paper describes the Sloan Digital Sky Survey photometric system, a new five-color (u‧ g‧ r‧ i‧ z‧) wide-band CCD system with wavelength coverage from 3000 to 11 000 Å. The ...
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Photometric Camera
We have constructed a large format mosaic CCD camera for the Sloan Digital\nSky Survey. The camera consists of two arrays, a photometric array which uses\n30 2048 x 2048 SITe/Te...
The Discovery of a Luminous [CLC][ITAL]z[/ITAL][/CLC] = 5.80 Quasar from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
We present observations of SDSSp J104433.04--012502.2, a luminous quasar at z=5.80 discovered from Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) multicolor imaging data. This object was selec...
Candidate RR Lyrae Stars Found in Sloan Digital Sky SurveyCommissioning Data*
We present a sample of 148 candidate RR Lyrae stars selected from Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) commissioning data for about 100 deg 2 of sky surveyed twice with Δ t = 1.9946 ...
The Missing Link: Early Methane (“T”) Dwarfs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
We report the discovery of three cool brown dwarfs that fall in the effective temperature gap between the latest L dwarfs currently known, with no methane absorption bands in th...
L Dwarfs Found in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Commissioning Imaging Data
This paper describes the discovery of seven dwarf objects of spectral type `L' (objects cooler than the latest M dwarfs) in commissioning imaging data taken by the Sloan Digital...
The Discovery of a High-Redshift Quasar without Emission Lines from Sloan Digital Sky Survey Commissioning Data
We report observations of a luminous unresolved object at redshift z=4.62, with a featureless optical spectrum redward of the Lyalpha forest region, discovered from Sloan Digita...
High-Redshift Quasars Found in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Commissioning Data
We present photometric and spectroscopic observations of 15 high-redshift quasars (z > 3.6) discovered from ~140 deg^2 of five-color (u'g'r'i'z') imaging data taken by the Sloan...
High-Redshift Quasars Found in Sloan Digital Sky Survey Commissioning Data. II. The Spring Equatorial Stripe
This is the second paper in a series aimed at finding high-redshift quasars from five-color (u'g'r'i'z') imaging data taken along the Celestial Equator by the Sloan Digital Sky ...
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Abstract The concept and the present status of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey are described, with emphasis on the instrumentation aspect of the project.
