DescriptionThe 3.5 meter telescope benefits the research faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, and public outreach programs of each member institution. Using innovative remote software, astronomers can operate and collect data from anywhere in the world. The telescope has a suite of cameras and spectrographs that serve a wide variety of scientific endeavors, resulting in more than 50 refereed science results being published each year. There is an active outreach program at the observatory and at member institutions. The 2.5 meter telescope, which operates the SDSS-III survey project, was especially productive in the past year, reflecting the effective and proactive maintenance program in place at Apache Point plus the continuation of exceptionally good weather. The project is a collaboration of more than 50 institutions and 600 astronomers. The primary foci of the survey this year were operations, Data Release 10, collaboration science analyses, and planning the transition from SDSS-III to SDSS-IV. BOSS essentially completed its baseline data acquisition. APOGEE also made substantive progress in collecting its survey sample. Both surveys are refining their end-game observing scenarios.Description
