Solving SDSS

This page documents the "current" status of our quest to solve all of Sloan. Naturally, this documentation probably lags behind reality, but such is life.

Our current favourite index is sdss-16: see http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~dstn/sdss-16-prospectus/prospectus.html .

Total number of fields in Sloan: 336,554
Number of fields we have solved correctly: 336,103
Number of false positives: 0
Percentage of fields we have solved correctly: 99.87%
Number of fields remaining: 451
