Journal ArticleDOI

The Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

Kevork N. Abazajian, +223 more
TL;DR: A series of improvements to the spectroscopic reductions are described, including better flat fielding and improved wavelength calibration at the blue end, better processing of objects with extremely strong narrow emission lines, and an improved determination of stellar metallicities.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Sixth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

Jennifer K. Adelman-McCarthy, +173 more
TL;DR: The Sixth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDS) as discussed by the authors contains images and parameters of roughly 287 million objects over 9583 deg(2), including scans over a large range of Galactic latitudes and longitudes.
Journal ArticleDOI

SEGUE: A SPECTROSCOPIC SURVEY OF 240,000 STARS WITH g = 14-20

Brian Yanny, +112 more
TL;DR: The Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Exploration (SEGUE) Survey as mentioned in this paper obtained approximately 240,000 moderate-resolution spectra from 3900 to 9000 of fainter Milky Way stars (14.0 10 per resolution element).
Journal ArticleDOI

Two stellar components in the halo of the Milky Way

TL;DR: It is shown that the halo is indeed clearly divisible into two broadly overlapping structural components—an inner and an outer halo—that exhibit different spatial density profiles, stellar orbits and stellar metallicities (abundances of elements heavier than helium).
Journal ArticleDOI

The Milky Way Tomography with SDSS. II. Stellar Metallicity

TL;DR: In this article, a polynomial model for estimating the metallicity and rotational velocity distributions of SDSS spectra was proposed, which is similar to random and systematic uncertainties in spectroscopic determinations.
