一句话总结

DR18 标志着 SDSS-V 的首次数据发布,详述靶向数据库和首批光谱,约有 ~25,000 份新的 SDSS 光谱和 eFEDS X 射线源光谱,以及软件和 VAC 更新。

ABSTRACT

The eighteenth data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys (SDSS) is the first one for SDSS-V, the fifth generation of the survey. SDSS-V comprises three primary scientific programs, or "Mappers": Milky Way Mapper (MWM), Black Hole Mapper (BHM), and Local Volume Mapper (LVM). This data release contains extensive targeting information for the two multi-object spectroscopy programs (MWM and BHM), including input catalogs and selection functions for their numerous scientific objectives. We describe the production of the targeting databases and their calibration- and scientifically-focused components. DR18 also includes ~25,000 new SDSS spectra and supplemental information for X-ray sources identified by eROSITA in its eFEDS field. We present updates to some of the SDSS software pipelines and preview changes anticipated for DR19. We also describe three value-added catalogs (VACs) based on SDSS-IV data that have been published since DR17, and one VAC based on the SDSS-V data in the eFEDS field.

研究动机与目标

  • 描述 SDSS-V 的科学目标和硬件,并概括 DR18 的范围与数据访问。
  • 展示 MOS 靶向数据库、目录交叉匹配,以及用于 SDSS-V 靶向选择的 carton 概念。
  • 介绍新光谱,包括 eFEDS,以及随之更新的 VAC 和软件。

提出的方法

  • 介绍 SDSS-V MOS 靶向架构,以及通过交叉匹配的输入目录创建统一的 mos_catalog。
  • 将 cartons 定义为按科学计划分组的靶向选择算法,并通过 mos_carton_to_target 将其与可观测设计关联。
  • 详细说明通过 CAS/SAS 的数据访问路径以及用于 DR18 的数据模型。
  • 描述 eFEDS 光谱的处理及相关 VAC。
  • 概述 SDSS 软件的更新,特别是 BOSS 光谱还原包。

主要发现

  • DR18 提供了用于 MWM 和 BHM 的靶向信息,总计约 269.5 GB 存在 MOS_TARGET_DIR。
  • DR18 引入 carton 概念,以按选择算法和科学目标组织目标。
  • 大约释放约 25,000 份新的 SDSS 光谱,其中包括 eFEDS 光学光谱,向 BOSS_SPECTRO_REDUX 增加了 301.9 GB。
  • 与 DR18 一起发布了基于 DR17 的新的 VAC,以及基于 DR15 的更新 VAC。
  • SDSS-V 数据访问仍通过 CAS SkyServer 和 SAS 提供,并提供大量教程和数据模型。
