1. The Sloan Digital Sky Survey: Technical SummaryThe Astronomical Journal · 2000 · 10,418 citations

   The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) will provide the data to support detailed investigations of the distribution of luminous and nonluminous matter in the universe: a photometrically and astrometrically calibrated digital imaging survey of π sr above about Galactic latitude…

2. THE SEVENTH DATA RELEASE OF THE SLOAN DIGITAL SKY SURVEYThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series · 2009 · 5,370 citations

   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 11,663 deg 2 of imaging…

3. Cosmological parameters from SDSS and WMAPPhysical review. D. Particles, fields, gravitation, and cosmology/Physical review. D. Particles and fields · 2004 · 3,993 citations

   We measure cosmological parameters using the three-dimensional power spectrum $P(k)$ from over 200 000 galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) in combination with Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) and other data. Our results are consistent with a ``vanilla''…

4. On the Infall of Matter Into Clusters of Galaxies and Some Effects on Their EvolutionThe Astrophysical Journal · 1972 · 3,918 citations

   A theory of infall of material into clusters of galaxies is developed and applied to the Coma chister. It is suggested that the infall phenomenon is responsible for the growth of cluster galaxies. The generation of a hot intracluster medium…
