The 20th data release from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) marks a major step forward in the project's mission to create a detailed map of the universe. This release is part of the third phase of SDSS-V, the fifth and final phase of the survey, and includes a vast amount of new data collected from both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. It combines data from earlier SDSS phases with the latest information from the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), which has been collecting data up to February 2, 2025. For the first time, the release includes optical spectra from the Southern Hemisphere, offering a more complete view of the sky than ever before. Among the highlights of the data release are the first optical spectra of stars and galaxies from the Southern Hemisphere, taken as part of BOSS. These data also include information on hundreds of thousands of X-ray-emitting objects, such as active galactic nuclei (AGN), galaxy clusters, and active stars, as part of the SPectroscopic IDentification of ERosita Sources (SPIDERS) program. This program works in conjunction with the eROSITA X-ray All-Sky Survey, which maps the entire sky in X-ray wavelengths. Additionally, the release updates data from two key SDSS-V projects: the Black Hole Mapper (BHM) and the Milky Way Mapper (MWM). The BHM includes spectra of about 500,000 black holes of various sizes, while the MWM provides more than 3 million spectra of 1.5 million stars in our galaxy. The data release also includes updated information on the Local Volume Mapper (LVM) project, which studies nearby galaxies, hydrogen clouds, and planetary nebulae. Alongside this, 18 new or updated Value-Added Catalogs (VACs) are included, which are specialized data sets designed to support specific scientific research. These catalogs allow astronomers and researchers to analyze the data in different ways, making the information more accessible and useful for a variety of studies. Dr. Anne-Marie Weijmans, the SDSS data products coordinator, emphasized that the data is not only available to the public but also designed to be usable by a wide range of researchers. Dr. Juna Kollmeier, director of SDSS-V, noted that the release includes impressive data that will be widely used, while the team is already preparing for future releases. Dr. Emily Griffith, a spokesperson for the SDSS-V collaboration, highlighted that DR20 represents a major leap in the scale and scope of SDSS data, including over three million spectra of stars and galaxies, as well as 18 specialized catalogs to support scientific discovery.
