SDSS Galaxies

SDSS galaxies as imaged by DESI

Introduced 2021-11-02

This is a dataset of 306,006 galaxies whose coordinates are taken from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7 and a modified catalogue from Brinchmann+2003 and Wilman+2010. This volume complete sample has an r-band absolute magnitude limit of Mr20M_r\leq-20 and a redshift limit of z0.08z\leq0.08. See Arora+2019 for details.

This catalogue covers a wide range of environments from clusters to groups and field systems. The galaxy images are taken from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, and contain gg, rr, and zz bands.
