The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has validated and made publicly available its First Data Release. This consists of 2099 square degrees of five-band (u, g, r, i, z) imaging data, 186,240 spectra of galaxies, quasars, stars and calibrating blank sky patches selected over 1360 square degrees of this area, and tables of measured parameters from these data. The imaging data go to a depth of r ~ 22.6 and are photometrically and astrometrically calibrated to 2% rms and 100 milli-arcsec rms per coordinate, respectively. The spectra cover the range 3800--9200 A, with a resolution of 1800--2100. Further characteristics of the data are described, as are the data products themselves.

  1. DESI 2024 VI: Cosmological Constraints from the Measurements of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations

    astro-ph.CO 2024-04 accept novelty 7.0

    First-year DESI BAO data are consistent with flat LambdaCDM and, when combined with CMB, show a 2.5-3.9 sigma preference for evolving dark energy (w0 > -1, wa < 0) that strengthens with certain supernova datasets.

  2. Optically Selected Superthin Galaxies Remain Thin in the Near-infrared

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    Optically selected superthin galaxies remain superthin in NIR with unchanged axis ratios, showing no prominent thick disk from old stars, and prefer lower-density environments consistent with high-halo-spin formation.

  3. Searching in HI for Massive Low Surface Brightness Galaxies: II. Completing the UGC Sample

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 accept novelty 3.0

    GBT HI observations of 35 UGC LSB galaxies detect 19 and five serendipitous sources, completing the sample with one new massive LSB and mostly unremarkable gas properties.
