The SDSS-V DR19 is now online at www.sdss.org 🎉
For the first time, LVM data is released.
Get a sneak peak into LVM data and download our amazing LVM tile of the Helix Nebula!✨
A tutorial showing how to access, read in, and work with the data is available here: www.sdss.org/dr19/lvm/tut... 💻
🔭LVM is a robotic SDSS facility at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile’s Atacama Desert mapping the interstellar medium of the Milky Way and nearby galaxies✨
Get an eye on LVM with our image gallery: www.sdss.org/science/imag...
We have a data release! Check out sdss.org/dr19 for all the data that just became publicly available with our 19th data release #DR19
Discover the ✨amazing✨ possibilities of LVM in this image of IC 434 in the Orion constellation, featuring the Horsehead Nebula emerging on the left (credit: ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2024A%26...).
