Galaxies & Masses: Find a List or Table Here

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

A comprehensive list of galaxies and their masses, including redshifts, can be found through the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) databases. Users can create an account on the SDSS platform, which allows for straightforward SQL queries to extract the desired data. The discussion highlights the importance of utilizing the SDSS resources for accessing detailed astronomical data.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with SQL for querying databases
  • Understanding of astronomical concepts such as galaxy masses and redshifts
  • Basic knowledge of accessing online databases
  • Awareness of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and its offerings
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) database for galaxy data
  • Learn SQL querying techniques specific to astronomical databases
  • Research the significance of redshift in astronomy
  • Investigate other astronomical databases for comparative analysis
USEFUL FOR

Astronomers, astrophysics researchers, data scientists in astronomy, and anyone interested in galaxy mass and redshift data.

Does anyone know where to find a list or table of galaxies and their masses? I haven't been able to find one yet. One with their redshifts would be nice as well. Thank you very much.

You might want to have a look at the Sloan Digital Sky Survey databases. Anybody can get a user account there, and it is fairly straightforward (if you know how to use SQL) to obtain a list of all galaxies' masses and redshifts. See http://cas.sdss.org/dr7/en/
