Abstract: The Sloan Digital Sky Survey III (SDSS-III) presents the first spectroscopic data from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). This ninth data release (DR9) of the SDSS project includes 535,995 new galaxy spectra (median z ∼ 0.52), 102,100 new quasar spectra (median z ∼ 2.32), and 90,897 new stellar spectra, along with the data presented in previous data releases. These spectra were obtained with the new BOSS spectrograph and were taken between 2009 December and 2011 July. In addition, the stellar … Show more

“…In particular, a further generalisation of the method would be its implementation in the real space, which would allow one to deal with all type of masks in a straightforward way, enabling the use of surveys with a relatively small sky coverage (e.g. the SDSS, Ahn et al 2012). It is also interesting to point out that the ISW signal reconstructed with this method could be useful to study the large scale anomalies found in the CMB and its possible relationship with this secondary anisotropy.…”

“…Although they do not exactly correspond to real data, some of their characteristics have been selected to resemble those from current surveys. For instance, the high-z survey can be representative of a radio survey like NVSS (Condon et al 1998), the one peaked at intermediate-z has a redshift distribution typical of luminous galaxies from SDSS (Ahn et al 2012) and, finally, the low-z survey includes near galaxies like the photometrically-selected galaxies from the SDSS (Aihara et al 2011). The different levels of noise have also been chosen to be similar to those of the three aforementioned surveys.…”

“…In order to build the spectroscopic KB we cross-matched the KiDS data with the spectroscopic samples available in the GAMA data release 2 (Driver et al 2011;Liske et al 2015) and SDSS-III data release 9 (Ahn et al 2012;Bolton et al 2012;Chen et al 2012).…”

“…The LOWZ sample consists of galaxies with 0.15 < z < 0.4 with colors similar to luminous red galaxies (LRGs), selected by applying suitable cuts on magnitudes and colors to extend the SDSS LRG sample towards fainter magnitudes/higher redshifts (see e.g. Ahn et al 2012;Bolton et al 2012). The CMASS sample contains three times more galaxies than the LOWZ sample, and is designed to select galaxies with 0.4 < z < 0.8.…”
