The LRG dataset (As at 31/10/05, complete dataset, including 2005B observations):

Full ASCII catalogue: catalogue.txt
The format for the catalogues is here.

Also available are Russell Cannon's redshift catalogues
First two years of the survey: cat_2yrs_obj_v3.dat
First three years of the survey: 3yr_obj_v2.cat
Final catalogue: 3yr_obj_v4.cat

Gzipped .tar files containing ALL of the individual .fits files: (209Mb)

Individual spectra (.fits) and postscipt (.ps) versions can be found here

  • N.B. Some objects have been observed more than once. In the catalogue you will (intentionally) therefore find more than one entry for these objects. In these cases column 3 indicates which is the `prefered' spectra(i.e the one with the highest redshift quality, S/N and r values)
  • For a few objects the best spectra are obtained by using only a subset of the data frames. These are identified using the "date" information, where: e.g. 0308mi means the data reduced for fibres which were lost later in the run ("mi" from 'missed') and 0308nL for some which were affected by scattered LED light ("nL" from 'no LED').
