AST-0096900Peoples, JohnThe Sloan Digital Sky Survey project is a major inter-agency and private-foundation partnership funded ground-based effort to map 10,000 square degrees of the sky at a spatial resolution of 0.40 arcseconds in the spectral bands at: 0.35, 0.48, 0.62, 0.76 and 0.91 micrometer wavelengths with an SNR of 10 for 22.3 stellar magnitudes at 0.62 micrometers wavelengths. The survey goals are to record 900,000 field galaxies down to red magnitudes of 17.7. Further details of this ambitious survey are given at: http://www.astro.princeton.edu/PBOOK/intro/intro.htm . Three aspects of the project will be supported in whole or in part over a five-year period. These are Observing Systems (salaries and maintenance), Data Processing and Distribution, including data distribution and data base user support, and salaries for observers and telescope/instrument specialists. Continuation of the observing program to acquire scientific data and the preparation of that data to enable general access by the broad astronomical community are the primary thrusts of this effort.***

斯隆数字巡天项目是一项由机构间和私人基金会合作伙伴资助的重大地面工作，旨在以0.40角秒的空间分辨率绘制10，000平方度的天空，光谱波段为：0.35、0.48、0.62、0.76和0.91微米波长，在0.62微米波长处，对于22.3个恒星星等，SNR为10。 调查的目标是记录90万个红等17.7的场星系。 有关这项雄心勃勃的调查的更多细节，请访问：http://www.astro.princeton.edu/PBOOK/intro/intro.htm . 该项目的三个方面将在五年期间得到全部或部分支助。它们是观测系统（薪金和维护）、数据处理和分发，包括数据分发和数据库用户支助，以及观测员和望远镜/仪器专家的薪金。 继续开展观测方案以获取科学数据，并准备这些数据以便广大天文学界能够普遍获取，这是这项工作的主要目标。
