Dictionary of Nomenclature of Celestial Objects

nitudes fainter in all bands, and, in addition to being a bridge between the main northern survey and much deeper pencil-beam surveys possible with very large telescopes, will contain a wealth of information about faint variable sources, supernovae, and proper motions. The SDSS will make a substantial indirect contribution to all such very deep surveys by characterizing the nearby Universe in a detailed and quantitative manner. Without this information, which does not exist in any satisfactorily accurate and complete form at present, one cannot compare the Universe observed at great distances and ancient times to the Universe today.
At least one and perhaps as many as three 'releases' of the SDSS are anticipated, the final release with the final calibrations having the acronym SDSS. For earlier releases, acronyms 1SDSS, '2SDSS', and '3SDSS' are reserved.
Permission to register this acronym on behalf of the SDSS Collaboration was granted to Douglas Tucker () and Brian Yanny () by Michael Turner (), Project Spokesperson for the SDSS.
