2024 SDSS-V Collaboration Meeting

June 3-7, 2024, New Mexico State University

Update for in-person attendees: : Pay your registration fees here by May 17. Also please add your arriving flight information on the wiki so we can help people with transportation.

The 2024 SDSS-V Collaboration Meeting will be held on the campus of New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, NM. Las Cruces is nestled in the morning shadow of the breathtaking Organ Mountains and is home to a friendly culture infused with unique Borderland flavor.

The SDSS-V project involves three key projects — the Milky Way Mapper, the Local Volume Mapper, and the Black Hole Mapper — that will together observe nearly 6 million stars in the Milky Way and satellite galaxies, 400,000 black holes and galaxy clusters, and 3000 square degrees of the ionized ISM from APO and LCO! The first public data release was in January 2023 with internal data products now being released to collaboration. With these exciting milestones, the collaboration meeting this year will be devoted to SDSS-V science talks, status updates, and tutorials, with both plenary and splinter sessions, from June 3-7 2024. June 3-5 will be collaboration meeting talks/discussions and June 6-7 will be breakout sessions and workshops for the individual mappers. On June 6, we will facilitate a field trip to the Apache Point Observatory (limited capacity).

The fifth Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-V) is an all-sky, multi-epoch spectroscopic survey that will yield optical and infrared spectra of over 6 million objects during its five-year lifetime (2020–2025). Using SDSS’s existing and anticipated new facilities at Apache Point Observatory and Las Campanas Observatory, SDSS-V will survey the entire sky — mapping the Milky Way using rapid, repeated observations, mapping Local Volume galaxies using wide-angle integral field spectroscopy, and mapping black holes using time-domain spectroscopy of quasars and bright X-ray sources.
