Descripción
We present the data release 14 Quasar catalog (DR14Q) from the extended
Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) of the Sloan Digital Sky
Survey IV (SDSS-IV). This catalog includes all SDSS-IV/eBOSS objects
that were spectroscopically targeted as quasar candidates and that are
confirmed as quasars via a new automated procedure combined with a
partial visual inspection of spectra, have luminosities Mi [z
= 2] < -20.5 (in a Λ CDM cosmology with H0 = 70 km
s-1 Mpc-1, Ω M =0.3, and Ω
Λ = 0.7), and either display at least one emission
line with a full width at half maximum larger than 500 km s-1
or, if not, have interesting/complex absorption features. The catalog
also includes previously spectroscopically-confirmed quasars from
SDSS-I, II, and III. The catalog contains 526 356 quasars (144 046 are
new discoveries since the beginning of SDSS-IV) detected over 9376
deg2 (2044 deg2 having new spectroscopic data
available) with robust identification and redshift measured by a
combination of principal component eigenspectra. The catalog is
estimated to have about 0.5% contamination. Redshifts are provided for
the Mg II emission line. The catalog identifies 21 877 broad absorption
line quasars and lists their characteristics. For each object, the
catalog presents five-band (u, g, r, i, z) CCD-based photometry with
typical accuracy of 0.03 mag. The catalog also contains X-ray,
ultraviolet, near-infrared, and radio emission properties of the
quasars, when available, from other large-area surveys. The calibrated
digital spectra, covering the wavelength region 3610-10 140 Å at a
spectral resolution in the range 1300 < R < 2500, can be retrieved
from the SDSS Science Archiver Server.

Morfología y dinámica de la Vía Láctea
El Proyecto se estructura en dos partes, diferenciadas pero complementarias: morfología y dinámica. El estudio detallado de la morfología de la Vía Láctea pretende proveer una base de datos de distribución estelar en las regiones más alejadas y extintas de nuestra Galaxia, mediante el desarrollo de modelos semiempíricos a partir de la información
