SDSS Technical Publication List
As noted in the publication policy, all SDSS papers should
reference the appropriate technical publications.
This sentence is interpreted fairly strictly, so if you
don't reference all of the appropriate technical papers
you can expect a reminder from your friendly local
Scientific Publications Coordinator.
The CoCo has agreed that only technical papers that have been
written and submitted are required to be referenced. You are
of course welcome and encouraged to reference the appropriate
"in preparation" technical papers, but they will not be
listed here.
The list of technical papers is expected to grow rapidly in the
next few months. I will try to keep this page up to date, and
you should always consult it before posting
an SDSS manuscript to the publication index.
Any SDSS publication should reference

you will certainly need to mention the use of asinh magnitudes and
reference

If you are dealing with the spectroscopic sample and the tiling
procedure is at all important to your analysis, you should reference
