Description:
The present catalog is a subset of the third data release of the Sloan
Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), restricted to primary and secondary photo
objects (i.e. objects from PhotoPrimary of PhotoSecondary tables) and
restricted to the columns described in the "Byte-by-Byte" description
below. The complete SDSS data release 3 catalog is available from
http://www.sdss.org/dr3/
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) will map in detail one-quarter of
the entire sky, determining the positions and absolute brightnesses
of more than 100 million celestial objects. It will also measure the
distances to more than a million galaxies and quasars. Apache Point
Observatory, site of the SDSS telescopes, is operated by the
Astrophysical Research Consortium (ARC).
Funding for the SDSS has been provided by the Alfred P. Sloan
Foundation, the Participating Institutions, the National Aeronautics
and Space Administration, the National Science Foundation, the U.S.
Department of Energy, the Japanese Monbukagakusho, the Max Planck
Society, and the Higher Education Funding Council for England.
The SDSS is a joint project of The University of Chicago, Fermilab,
the Institute for Advanced Study, the Japan Participation Group, The
Johns Hopkins University, the Korean Scientist Group, Los Alamos
National Laboratory, the Max-Planck-Institute for Astronomy (MPIA),
the Max-Planck-Institute for Astrophysics (MPA), New Mexico State
University, University of Pittsburgh, University of Portsmouth,
Princeton University, the United States Naval Observatory, and the
University of Washington.
