abstract
This paper describes the Seventh Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), marking the completion of the original goals of the SDSS and the end of the phase known as SDSS-II. It includes 11663 deg^2 of imaging data, with most of the roughly 2000 deg^2 increment over the previous data release lying in regions of low Galactic latitude. The catalog contains five-band photometry for 357 million distinct objects. The survey also includes repeat photometry over 250 deg^2 along the Celestial Equator in the Southern Galactic Cap. A coaddition of these data goes roughly two magnitudes fainter than the main survey. The spectroscopy is now complete over a contiguous area of 7500 deg^2 in the Northern Galactic Cap, closing the gap that was present in previous data releases. There are over 1.6 million spectra in total, including 930,000 galaxies, 120,000 quasars, and 460,000 stars. The data release includes improved stellar photometry at low Galactic latitude. The astrometry has all been recalibrated with the second version of the USNO CCD Astrograph Catalog (UCAC-2), reducing the rms statistical errors at the bright end to 45 milli-arcseconds per coordinate. A systematic error in bright galaxy photometr is less severe than previously reported for the majority of galaxies. Finally, we describe a series of improvements to the spectroscopic reductions, including better flat-fielding and improved wavelength calibration at the blue end, better processing of objects with extremely strong narrow emission lines, and an improved determination of stellar metallicities.

Resolved HI observations of six baryon-dominated dwarf galaxy candidates show four are dark-matter deficient with high baryon efficiency, two in isolated environments without tidal signs.
A 4.5σ excess RM dispersion of 4.13 ± 0.91 rad m^{-2} is found in 191 Mg II sightlines versus controls, implying model-dependent CGM magnetic fields of 0.4-0.8 μG at projected radii 20-150 kpc and z~1.14.
Multi-frequency radio data supports Abell 980 as hosting a detached double-double radio galaxy formed by two jet episodes from the BCG with subsequent lateral drift causing loss of lobe colinearity.
A new sample of 157 mid-IR dual AGN candidates in mergers yields 13 confirmed cases and 63 strong candidates at separations 14.5-129 kpc, over half beyond 50 kpc, with diverse BPT classes and 31% in multi-mergers.
Domain adaptation with an ensemble of CNN and transformer models trained on DES detects 20,180 LSBGs and 434 UDGs in KiDS DR5, with structural parameters and environmental trends consistent with known samples.
Accreting X-ray sources cannot supply enough EUV photons to account for He III regions in metal-poor star-forming dwarf galaxies.
Milky Way abundance trends act as effective empirical proxies for nucleosynthetic yields, recovering alpha and Fe-peak abundances in quiescent galaxies with 0.05 dex median offset versus 0.23 dex for theory, indicating largely universal yields.
Deep Chandra data confirms three cold fronts in RXJ2014.8-2430 with widths indicating suppressed diffusion and identifies a concave structure consistent with either a Kelvin-Helmholtz instability or a powerful AGN cavity of radius 200-330 kpc.
AI trained on LambdaCDM simulations reconstructs the cosmic vorticity field from SDSS galaxies, revealing coherent vortical structures consistent with the standard model and correcting redshift-space distortions.
The Sparks survey divides local galaxies into first-burst, second-burst, and post-burst groups, finding AGN predominantly in second-burst systems and implying a short delay before black hole accretion.
LSST will image 18,000 square degrees of sky about 800 times across six bands over 10 years to a coadded depth of r~27.5, producing a public database of 40 billion objects and 32 trillion observations.
Dust attenuation follows a universal mass-dependent relation from z=0 to 7 with a transition at 10^9 solar masses where nebular attenuation steepens relative to stellar.
Void x CMB lensing from Roman mocks is robust to catalog construction choices and forecasts S/N of 13-31 sigma with Planck, SO, and CMB-S4-like data for 2D and 3D voids.
Simulations show gas cooling and stellar feedback dominate assembly bias for stellar-mass selected galaxies while star formation gives way to gas cooling for SFR-selected galaxies as number density rises.
Spatially resolved HI survey of eight Seyfert galaxies shows AGN feedback has limited impact on global atomic gas disk structure but may enhance local turbulence.
Combining LRG and ELG tracers with bias weighting improves BAO constraints by 11% on alpha_iso and 7% on alpha_AP in DESI DR1 data for the 0.8<z<1.1 bin.
A new sample of 930 IMBH AGNs at z up to 0.57 is compiled from SDSS, with preliminary evidence of declining maximum accretion rates and Hα luminosities toward lower redshifts.
2MASX J0413-0050 transitioned from a narrow-line Seyfert 1 to a Seyfert 1.9 and back while remaining in a high accretion state, supporting classification as a changing-state AGN.
Multiple galaxy formation simulations show that low-mass quenched galaxies at z>3 are predominantly environmentally quenched satellites, often only temporarily so, and match JWST observations.
Five new HI 21-cm absorption detections in LERGs and HERGs at z<0.5 reveal disturbed gas kinematics with velocity offsets over 350 km/s and a 3% detection rate consistent with lower-redshift samples.
Close major galaxy pairs exhibit 8.8% lower HI gas fractions and 15% higher HI star formation efficiency in S+S systems than mass- and redshift-matched isolated controls.
Pantheon+ releases 1701 light curves from 1550 spectroscopically confirmed Type Ia supernovae across 18 surveys for cosmological inference.
Reports results from two searches for new radio lenses in existing surveys and discusses the completeness of the population usable for constraining dark matter properties via astrometric perturbations.
