How does DR10 (and GZ2) being made public change things, for the Quench project?

• by JeanTate

  SDSS Data Release 10 and Galaxy Zoo 2, a Galaxy Zoo blog post earlier today, by Kyle Willett pretty much says it all.

  I guess some things spring to mind immediately:

  1. how do DR10 spectra of the Q candidates, and control sample, differ from what we've been using?
  2. how to upload the DR10 (and GZ2!) data for each of the 6,004 objects, into the GZ Tools?

  From a quick read-through of the DR10 paper and looking at a few objects, I think the "legacy" spectra are unchanged from DR9. There might be new BOSS spectra though (haven't searched yet).

  One huge change is that DR10 includes several estimates of (stellar) mass!
