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...
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...
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. 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 ...
