We describe the target selection and resulting properties of a spectroscopic sample of luminous, red galaxies (LRG) from the imaging data of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). These galaxies are selected on the basis of color and…

We describe results of a narrow band search for ultra-strong emission line galaxies (USELs) with EW(H beta) > 30 A. 542 candidate galaxies are found in a half square degree survey using two ~100 Angstrom 8150 A and 9140 A filters with…

We study the optical colors of 147,920 galaxies brighter than g* = 21, observed in five bands by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) over ~100 sq. deg. of high Galactic latitude sky along the Celestial Equator. The distribution of galaxies…

By providing homogeneous photometric and spectroscopic data of high quality for very large and objectively selected samples of galaxies, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey allows statistical studies of the physical properties of galaxies and AGN…

An all-sky catalog of 18020 disc-like galaxies is presented. The galaxies are selected from the Extended Source Catalog of the Two Micron All-Sky Survey (XSC 2MASS) basing on their 2MASS axial ratio a/b >= 3. The Catalog contains data on…

Population III galaxies are predicted to exist at high redshifts and may be rendered sufficiently bright for detection with current telescopes when gravitationally lensed by a foreground galaxy cluster. Population III galaxies that exhibit…

We have used the GMOS instrument on the Gemini-South telescope to obtain spatially-resolved two-colour imaging and IFU spectroscopy of a sample of ten nearby E+A galaxies. Surface brightness profiles measured using our imaging data show the…
