Two More Candidate AM Canum Venaticorum (AM CVn) Binaries from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (2008)
Anderson, S. F., Becker, A. C., Haggard, D., Prieto, J. L., Knapp, G. R., Sako, M., ...
AM CVn systems are a select group of ultracompact binaries with the shortest orbital periods of any known binary subclass; mass-transfer is likely from a low-mass (partially-)degenerate secondary...
Dilday, Benjamin, Kessler, R., Frieman, J. A., Holtzman, J., Marriner, J., Miknaitis, G., ...
We present a measurement of the rate of type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the first of three seasons of data from the SDSS-II Supernova Survey. For this measurement, we include 17 SNe Ia at redshift...

The u'g'r'i'z' Standard Star Network (2002)
Smith, J. A., Tucker, D. L., Kent, S., Richmond, M. W., Fukugita, M., Ichikawa, T., ...
We present the 158 standard stars that define the u'g'r'i'z' photometric system. These stars form the basis for the photometric calibration of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). The defining...
Sloan Digital Sky Survey: Early data release (2002)
Stoughton, C., Lupton, R. H., Bernardi, M., Blanton, M. R., Burles, S., Castander, F. J., ...
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is an imaging and spectroscopic survey that will eventually cover approximately one-quarter of the celestial sphere and collect spectra of 10 6 galaxies, 100,000...
