TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured cosmological parameters using the three-dimensional power spectrum P(k) from over 200,000 galaxies in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) in combination with WMAP and other data.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors employed a matrix-based method using pseudo-Karhunen-Loeve eigenmodes, producing uncorrelated minimum-variance measurements in 22 k-bands of both the clustering power and its anisotropy due to redshift-space distortions.

TL;DR: The Sixth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDS) as discussed by the authors contains images and parameters of roughly 287 million objects over 9583 deg(2), including scans over a large range of Galactic latitudes and longitudes.

TL;DR: The fourth data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) as discussed by the authors includes all survey-quality data taken through 2004 June, including five-band photometric data for 180 million objects selected over 6670 deg2 and 673,280 spectra of galaxies, quasars and stars selected from 4783 deg2 of those imaging data using the standard SDSS target selection algorithms.

TL;DR: The second data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) as mentioned in this paper is the most recent data set to be publicly available, which consists of 3.5 million unique objects, 367,360 spectra of galaxies, quasars, stars, and calibrating blank sky patches selected over 2627 deg2 of this area.
