摘要
重子振荡光谱巡天(BOSS)作为斯隆数字巡天(SDSS) III项目的一部分，提供了迄今为止最大的星系红移巡天，无论是在单次巡天测量的星系红移数量上，还是覆盖的有效宇宙体积上。分析这些数据的成团性以提供宇宙学测量的关键在于理解该样本的具体特性。潜在问题包括由目标选择算法或所用数据属性变更引起的目标星表变化、光谱观测模式、未获得红移的目标的空间分布，以及由观测系统性引起的目标天空密度变化。我们在此记录了用于创建构成BOSS的星系样本的目标选择算法。我们还展示了用于为最终数据发布(DR12)样本创建大规模结构星表以及量化巡天掩模的关联随机星表的算法。这些算法是BOSS团队用于从早期数据构建星表的算法的发展，旨在准确量化星系样本。所使用的代码命名为MKSAMPLE，随本文发布。
