Description
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 parameters pipeline, which determines radial velocities, surface temperatures, surface gravities, and metallicities of stars, has been updated and refined with improvements in temperature estimates for stars with Teff< 5000 K and in metallicity estimates for stars with [Fe/H]>− 0. 5. DR9 includes new stellar parameters for all stars presented in DR8, including stars from SDSS-I and II, as well as …
