Beginning of ReadMe : V/139 The SDSS Photometric Catalog, Release 9 (Adelman-McCarthy+, 2012) ================================================================================ The SDSS Photometric Catalog, Release 9 Ahn C.P. et al. <Astrophys. J. Suppl. Ser. 203, 21 (2012)> =2012ApJS..203...21A =2013yCat.5139....0A ================================================================================ ADC_Keywords: Surveys; Photometry, SDSS ; Redshifts Keywords: atlases - catalogs - surveys Abstract: The Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III) presents the first spectroscopic data from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). This ninth data release (DR9) of the SDSS project includes 535,995 new galaxy spectra (median z   0.52), 102,100 new quasar spectra (median z   2.32), and 90,897 new stellar spectra, along with the data presented in previous data releases. These spectra were obtained with the new BOSS spectrograph and were taken between 2009 December and 2011 July. In addition, the stellar parameters pipeline, which determines radial velocities, surface temperatures, surface gravities, and metallicities of stars, has been updated and refined with improvements in temperature estimates for stars with T_eff_<5000K and in metallicity estimates for stars with [Fe/H]>-0.5. DR9 includes new stellar parameters for all stars presented in DR8, including stars from SDSS-I and II, as well as those observed as part of the SEGUE-2. The astrometry error introduced in the DR8 imaging catalogs has been corrected in the DR9 data products. The next data release for SDSS-III will be in Summer 2013, which will present the first data from the APOGEE along with another year of data from BOSS, followed by the final SDSS-III data release in 2014 December. Description: Data Release 9 is the first release of the spectra from the SDSS-III's Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), which includes more than 800,000 spectra over 3,300 square degrees of sky, observed with the new 1,000-fiber BOSS spectrograph. DR9 also includes better stellar parameter estimates, provided by an updated SEGUE Stellar Parameter Pipeline (SSPP). The principal changes from DR8 are summarized at http://www.sdss3.org/dr9/whatsnew.php Official SDSS-III Acknowledgement: We request that the following be added to the acknowledgement section of any paper using data from the SDSS-III.
