VizieR Online Data Catalog: Clustering of the SDSS DR7 main galaxy sample. I. (Ross+, 2015)

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS; York et al. 2000AJ....120.1579Y) Data Release 7 (DR7; Abazajian et al. 2009, Cat. II/294) included a flux-limited, low-redshift sample of galaxies with measured redshifts, known as the "main galaxy sample" (MGS). We obtain the SDSS DR7 MGS data from the value-added galaxy catalogues hosted by NYU1 (NYU-VAGC). Galaxies in the NYU-VAGC safe0 catalogue occupy a total footprint of 7356 deg². We use data only from the contiguous area in the North Galactic cap and only occupying areas where the completeness, determined ignoring galaxies not observed due to fibre collisions, is greater than 0.9. These cuts reduce the footprint to 6813 deg².
