If you already have a Special Place in the Database, great. In the presented case, the calculated redshift is z 0.061 (SIMBAD also indicates a z 0.061),so we can calculate a very precise redshift on this kind of distant galaxies with a low resolution spectrograph low where the shift is consequent. If you do not yet have your own Special Place, you will use RA and Dec to define a starting place (which will then become your Special Place, your very own “little plot of space real estate” to explore evermore). Use the RA and Dec that you recorded during that activity. If you completed the activity, My Special Place in the Database, you already have a set of coordinates as your own Special Place. Everyone should be able to start in a unique location, or Special Place (as you proceed in your experimentation and data collection, you will be able to build upon your knowledge base for your Special Place since you will continue to revisit it in other activities). Green circles mark the locations of candidate galaxies at a redshift of z8, while higher. Space is vast and infinite, and with 500 million stars in the SDSS database, there are enough stars to go around for all researchers. This is a color composite image of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field. But before you can use SAS, you need a starting place. SAS is the latest image and spectrum service for the SDSS.

Accessing Data through the Science Archive Server (SAS) If you want to look at a lot of spectra at one time, the easiest place to access them is through the Science Archive Server (SAS).
With some basic understanding about redshift and the tool of the SDSS spectrum graph in hand, you are prepared to explore how redshift is measured and how it can be used.

Interstellar distances can also be measured in parsecs. Solar system are usually measured in Astronomical Units (AU). The physical distance from Earth to the astronomical object. One of 88 recognized regions of the celestial sphere in which the object appears. Right ascension – analogous to longitude – is one component of an object's position.ĭeclination – analogous to latitude – is one component of an object's position.

The estimated distances to these candidates have not been confirmed spectroscopically.Ībout 20 to 30 percent of these high-z galaxy candidates are very close to foreground galaxies, which is consistent with the prediction that a significant fraction of galaxies at very high redshifts are gravitationally lensed by individual foreground galaxies. Green circles mark the locations of candidate galaxies at a redshift of z~8, while higher-redshift candidates are circled in red. This is a color composite image of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field.
