The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is a comprehensive survey of the northern sky. This dataset contains a subset of this survey, of 60247 objects classified as galaxies, it includes a CSV file with a collection of information and a set of files for each object, namely JPG image files, FITS and spectra data. This dataset is used to train and explore the astromlp-models collection of deep learning models for galaxies characterisation.

The dataset includes a CSV data file where each row is an object from the SDSS database, and with the following columns (note that some data may not be available for all objects):

• objid: unique SDSS object identifier
• mjd: MJD of observation
• plate: plate identifier
• tile: tile identifier
• fiberid: fiber identifier
• run: run number
• rerun: rerun number
• camcol: camera column
• field: field number
• ra: right ascension
• dec: declination
• class: spectroscopic class (only objetcs with GALAXY are included)
• subclass: spectroscopic subclass
• modelMag_u: better of DeV/Exp magnitude fit for band u
• modelMag_g: better of DeV/Exp magnitude fit for band g
• modelMag_r: better of DeV/Exp magnitude fit for band r
• modelMag_i: better of DeV/Exp magnitude fit for band i
• modelMag_z: better of DeV/Exp magnitude fit for band z
• redshift: final redshift from SDSS data z
• stellarmass: stellar mass extracted from the eBOSS Firefly catalog
• w1mag: WISE W1 "standard" aperture magnitude
• w2mag: WISE W2 "standard" aperture magnitude
• w3mag: WISE W3 "standard" aperture magnitude
• w4mag: WISE W4 "standard" aperture magnitude
• gz2c_f: Galaxy Zoo 2 classification from Willett et al 2013
• gz2c_s: simplified version of Galaxy Zoo 2 classification (labels set)

Besides the CSV file a set of directories are included in the dataset, in each directory you'll find a list of files named after the objid column from the CSV file, with the corresponding data, the following directories tree is available:

sdss-gs/
├── data.csv
├── fits
├── img
├── spectra
└── ssel

Where, each directory contains:

• img: RGB images from the object in JPEG format, 150x150 pixels, generated using the SkyServer DR16 API
• fits: FITS data subsets around the object across the u, g, r, i, z bands; cut is done using the ImageCutter library
• spectra: full best fit spectra data from SDSS between 4000 and 9000 wavelengths
• ssel: best fit spectra data from SDSS for specific selected intervals of wavelengths discussed by Sánchez Almeida 2010

Abstract: These are results from a network of 65 tree census plots in Panama. At each, every individual stem in a rectangular area of specified size is given a unique number and identified to species, then stem diameter measured in one or more censuses. Data from these numerous plots and inventories were collected following the same methods as, and species identity harmonized with, the 50-ha long-term tree census at Barro Colorado Island. Precise location of every site, elevation, and estimated rainfall (for many sites) are also included. These data were gathered over many years, starting in 1994 and continuing to the present, by principal investigators R. Condit, R. Perez, S. Lao, and S. Aguilar. Funding has been provided by many organizations.Description:marenaRecent.full.Rdata5Jan2013.zip: A zip archive holding one R Analytical Table, a version of the Marena plots' census data in R format, designed for data analysis. This and all other tables labelled 'full' have one record per individual tree found in that census. Detailed documentations of the 'full' tables is given in RoutputFull.pdf (see component 10 below); an additional column 'plot' is included because the table includes records from many different locations. Plot coordinates are given in PanamaPlot.txt (component 12 below). This one file, 'marenaRecent.full1.rdata', has data from the latest census at 60 different plots. These are the best data to use if only a single plot census is needed. marena2cns.full.Rdata5Jan2013.zip: R Analytical Tables of the style 'full' for 44 plots with two censuses: 'marena2cns.full1.rdata' for the first census and 'marena2cns.full2.rdata' for the second census. These 44 plots are a subset of the 60 found in marenaRecent.full (component 1): the 44 that have been censused two or more times. These are the best data to use if two plot censuses are needed. marena3cns.full.Rdata5Jan2013.zip. R Analytical Tables of the style 'full' for nine plots with three censuses: 'marena3cns.full1.rdata' for the first census through 'marena2cns.full3.rdata' for the third census. These nine plots are a subset of the 44 found in marena2cns.full (component 2): the nine that have been censused three or more times. These are the best data to use if three plot censuses are needed. marena4cns.full.Rdata5Jan2013.zip. R Analytical Tables of the style 'full' for six plots with four censuses: 'marena4cns.full1.rdata' for the first census through 'marena4cns.full4.rdata' for the fourth census. These six plots are a subset of the nine found in marena3cns.full (component 3): the six that have been censused four or more times. These are the best data to use if four plot censuses are needed. marenaRecent.stem.Rdata5Jan2013.zip. A zip archive holding one R Analytical Table, a version of the Marena plots' census data in R format. These are designed for data analysis. This one file, 'marenaRecent.full1.rdata', has data from the latest census at 60 different plots. The table has one record per individual stem, necessary because some individual trees have more than one stem. Detailed documentations of these tables is given in RoutputFull.pdf (see component 11 below); an additional column 'plot' is included because the table includes records from many different locations. Plot coordinates are given in PanamaPlot.txt (component 12 below). These are the best data to use if only a single plot census is needed, and individual stems are desired. marena2cns.stem.Rdata5Jan2013.zip. R Analytical Tables of the style 'stem' for 44 plots with two censuses: 'marena2cns.stem1.rdata' for the first census and 'marena3cns.stem2.rdata' for the second census. These 44 plots are a subset of the 60 found in marenaRecent.stem (component 1): the 44 that have been censused two or more times. These are the best data to use if two plot censuses are needed, and individual stems are desired. marena3cns.stem.Rdata5Jan2013.zip. R Analytical Tables of the style 'stem' for nine plots with three censuses: 'marena3cns.stem1.rdata' for the first census through 'marena3cns.stem3.rdata' for the third census. These nine plots are a subset of the 44 found in marena2cns.stem (component 6): the nine that have been censused three or more times. These are the best data to use if three plot censuses are needed, and individual stems are desired. marena4cns.stem.Rdata5Jan2013.zip. R Analytical Tables of the style 'stem' for six plots with four censuses: 'marena3cns.stem1.rdata' for the first census through 'marena3cns.stem3.rdata' for the third census. These six plots are a subset of the nine found in marena3cns.stem (component 7): the six that have been censused four or more times. These are the best data to use if four plot censuses are needed, and individual stems are desired. bci.spptable.rdata. A list of the 1414 species found across all tree plots and inventories in Panama, in R format. The column 'sp' in this table is a code identifying the species in the full census tables (marena.full and marena.stem, components 1-4 and 5-8 above). RoutputFull.pdf: Detailed documentation of the 'full' tables in Rdata format (components 1-4 above). RoutputStem.pdf: Detailed documentation of the 'stem' tables in Rdata format (component 5-8 above). PanamaPlot.txt: Locations of all tree plots and inventories in Panama.

RMSE and R2 for different data groupings. The first column contains the species composition (inter, intra, or species specific) and the second column the data composition for each statistic reported in the remaining columns. Columns 3-5 contain the RMSE (kg), columns 6-8 the R2, and columns 9-11 the % error relative to the mean biomass in the dataset for BSD, D30, and DBH, respectively (see Methods). The subset of the data for trees that had all three measurements is denoted by the terms “Combined 3” and “Site 3” in the Data column. The lowest RMSE value in a row for each metric is in bold. Similarly, the highest R2 for each row is in bold. Values that represent means are underlined. The mean for each column and each grouping is given in the final two rows. The final row contains means for those trees with all three measures. The row above it contains means for all trees.
