The 13th data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First spectroscopic data from the SDSS-IV survey mapping nearby galaxies at Apache Point Observatory


Abstract:

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has been observing the universe using the 2.5 m Sloan Foundation Telescope (Gunn et al. 2006) at Apache Point Observatory (APO) for over 15 yr. The goal of the original survey (2000–2005; York et al. 2000) was to map large-scale structure with five-band imaging over∼ π sr of the sky and spectra of∼ 106 galaxies and∼ 105 quasars. This program was accomplished using a driftscan camera (Gunn et al. 1998) and two fiber-fed optical R∼ 1800 spectrographs (Smee et al. 2013), each with 320 fibers.
