Multiwavelength view of SDSS galaxies
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 December 2004
Abstract
We summarize the detection rates at wavelengths other than optical for ∼99,000 galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 1 “main” spectroscopic sample. The analysis is based on positional cross-correlation with source catalogs from ROSAT, 2MASS, IRAS, GB6, FIRST, NVSS and WENSS surveys. We find that the rest-frame UV-IR broad-band galaxy SEDs form a remarkably uniform, nearly one parameter, family. As an example, the SDSS u and r band data, supplemented with redshift, can be used to predict K band magnitudes measured by 2MASS with an rms scatter of only 0.2 mag; when measurement uncertainties are taken into account, the astrophysical scatter appears not larger than ∼0.1 mag.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
