Description:

Building on the Legacy of theSloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)and SDSS-II, the SDSS-III Collaboration is working to map theMilky Way, search for extrasolar planets, and solve themystery of dark energy.SDSS-III's newest release is Data Release 12 (DR12).DR12 contains the final data from SDSS-III, including the first spectra of theMulti-object APO Radial Velocity Exoplanet Large-area Survey (MARVELS),additional data from theAPO Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE),as well as additional sky coverage and better galaxy parameter estimates fromBOSS.All of the SDSS-III's images, spectra, and measurements are available to anyone online.You can browsethrough sky images, look up datafor individual objects, or search for objectsanywhere using any criteria.Data releases are cumulative, so all previously-released images, spectra, andmeasurements are still available in DR12. To enable direct comparison with priorstudies, we continue to host all prior data releases. The SDSS-III's prior releases,Data Release 10, Data Release 9 and Data Release 8, are availablefrom this site. Older data releases are available from the original SDSS website,classic.sdss.org.SDSS-III began to collect data in 2008, and will continue until 2014, usingthe Sloan Foundation 2.5-meter Telescopeat Apache Point Observatory in New Mexico. SDSS-III consists of four surveys,each focused on a different scientific theme. Click on one of the images below for moreinformation about each survey.The SDSS-III Collaborationincludes many institutions from around the globe. Inquiries frominterested parties to join the collaboration are welcome. For adetailed description of SDSS-III, see theProject Description,available as a PDF document.Funding for SDSS-III has been provided by the Alfred P. SloanFoundation, the Participating Institutions, the National ScienceFoundation, and the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science.The SDSS-III web site is http://www.sdss3.org/.SDSS-III is managed by the Astrophysical Research Consortium for theParticipating Institutions of the SDSS-III Collaboration including theUniversity of Arizona,the Brazilian Participation Group,Brookhaven National Laboratory,Carnegie Mellon University,University of Florida,the French Participation Group,the German Participation Group,Harvard University,the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias,the Michigan State/Notre Dame/JINA Participation Group,Johns Hopkins University,Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory,Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics,Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics,New Mexico State University,New York University,Ohio State University,Pennsylvania State University,University of Portsmouth,Princeton University,the Spanish Participation Group,University of Tokyo,University of Utah,Vanderbilt University,University of Virginia,University of Washington,and Yale University.
