We present measurements of the normalized redshift-space three-point correlation function (3PCF) (Q(z)) of galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) main galaxy sample. These measurements were possible because of ...

We report observations of a luminous unresolved object at redshift z = 4.62, with a featureless optical spectrum redward of the Ly alpha forest region, discovered from Sloan Digital Sky Survey commissioning data. The ...
