Primordial non-Gaussianity from the Completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey I: Catalogue Preparation and Systematic Mitigation
We develop a neural network-based approach to mitigate spurious fluctuations in the density field caused by spatial variations in the quality of the imaging data used to select targets for follow-up spectroscopy.
HI constraints from the cross-correlation of eBOSS galaxies and Green Bank Telescope intensity maps
We present the joint analysis of Neutral Hydrogen (HI) Intensity Mapping observations with three galaxy samples: the Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) and Emission Line Galaxy (ELG) samples from the eBOSS survey, and the WiggleZ Dark Energy Survey sample.

The Completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: exploring the Halo Occupation Distribution model of Emission Line Galaxies
We study how these choices impact the clustering statistics while keeping the number density and bias fixed to that from eBOSS ELGs.

The Completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Baryon acoustic oscillations with Lyman-$α$ forests
We present a measurement of baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO) from Lyman-$\alpha$ (Ly$\alpha$) absorption and quasars at an effective redshift $z=2. 33$ using the complete extended Baryonic Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS).

The clustering of the SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey DR16 luminous red galaxy and emission line galaxy samples: cosmic distance and structure growth measurements using multiple tracers in configuration space
We perform a multi-tracer analysis using the complete Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV (SDSS-IV) extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) DR16 luminous red galaxy (LRG) and the DR16 emission line galaxy (ELG) samples in the configuration space, and successfully detect a cross correlation between the two samples, and find the growth rate to be $f\sigma_8=0. 342 \pm 0. 085$ ($\sim25$ per cent accuracy) from the cross sample alone.

The Completed SDSS-IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: a multi-tracer analysis in Fourier space for measuring the cosmic structure growth and expansion rate
We perform a joint BAO and RSD analysis using the eBOSS DR16 LRG and ELG samples in the redshift range of $z\in[0. 6, 1. 1]$, and detect a RSD signal from the cross power spectrum at a $\sim4\sigma$ confidence level, i. e., $f\sigma_8=0. 317\pm0. 080$ at $z_{\rm eff}=0. 77$.

Kepler-503b: An Object at the Hydrogen Burning Mass Limit Orbiting a Subgiant Star
Using spectroscopic radial velocities with the APOGEE instrument and Gaia distance estimates, we demonstrate that Kepler-503b, currently considered a validated Kepler planet, is in fact a brown-dwarf/low-mass star in a nearly circular 7. 2-day orbit around a subgiant star.

The clustering of galaxies in the completed SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: cosmological analysis of the DR12 galaxy sample
When combined with supernova Ia data, we find H0 = 67. 3+/-1. 0 km/s/Mpc even for our most general dark energy model, in tension with some direct measurements.

A 14 $h^{-3}$ Gpc$^3$ study of cosmic homogeneity using BOSS DR12 quasar sample
For the matter distribution we obtain $3-\langle D_2 \rangle < 5 \times 10^{-5}$ (2 $\sigma$) over the range $250<r<1200 \, h^{-1}$Mpc, consistent with homogeneity on large scales.

SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey Data Release 12: galaxy target selection and large scale structure catalogues
We also present the algorithms used to create large scale structure catalogues for the final Data Release (DR12) samples and the associated random catalogues that quantify the survey mask.

Towards an Understanding of Changing-Look Quasars: An Archival Spectroscopic Search in SDSS
By leveraging the >10 year baselines for objects with repeat spectroscopy, we uncover two new changing-look quasars, and a third discovered previously.

The one-dimensional Ly-alpha forest power spectrum from BOSS
We have developed two independent methods to measure the one-dimensional power spectrum of the transmitted flux in the Lyman-$\alpha$ forest.

The Clustering of Galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Measuring H(z) and D_A(z) at z = 0.57 with Clustering Wedges
The baryonic acoustic feature is used to obtain model independent constraints cz/H/r_s = 12. 28 +- 0. 82 (6. 7 per-cent accuracy) and D_A/r_s = 9. 05 +- 0. 27 (3. 0 per-cent) with a correlation coefficient of -0. 5, where r_s is the sound horizon scale at the end of the baryonic drag era.

LSST: from Science Drivers to Reference Design and Anticipated Data Products
About 90\% of the observing time will be devoted to a deep-wide-fast survey mode which will uniformly observe a 18, 000 deg$^2$ region about 800 times (summed over all six bands) during the anticipated 10 years of operations, and yield a coadded map to $r\sim27. 5$.
The White Dwarf Luminosity Function from SDSS Imaging Data
A sample of white dwarfs is selected from SDSS DR3 imaging data using their reduced proper motions, based on improved proper motions from SDSS plus USNO-B combined data.
