DI Newsletter

The latest Deep Impact newsletter is now available.

SDSS-II

Late last month the funding package for a new, three-year venture called the Sloan Digital Sky Survey II (SDSS-II) was completed, led by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation of New York City, the National Science Foundation (NSF), the U.S. Department of Energy and the member institutions. This survey will add new partners and undertake new research missions, and will run through summer 2008.

The SDSS has been carrying out a massive survey of the sky using a dedicated 2.5-m telescope at Apache Point Observatory near Sunspot, New Mexico. SDSS-II will complete observations of a huge contiguous region of the Northern skies and will study the structure and origins of the Milky Way Galaxy and the nature of dark energy.

PNAS Content

The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) is pleased to announce that its legacy content dating back to volume 1, issue 1, in 1915 is now digitally archived, searchable, and freely available on the PNAS web site.

"PNAS presents its free digital archive in conjunction with its 90th anniversary. The digital collection spans nearly a century of seminal scientific research, and comprises more than 390,000 pages and 80,000 articles. We encourage everyone to browse and read the PNAS digital collection, which contains research of exceptional importance and broad interest.

PNAS is a break-even operation and relies about equally on author fees and on subscription fees to cover its operating costs. PNAS subscribers gain access to the most recent 6 months of published content."
