.. _book_fig_chapter7_fig_spec_examples: SDSS spectra Examples --------------------- Figure 7.1 A sample of 15 galaxy spectra selected from the SDSS spectroscopic data set (see Section 1.5.5). These spectra span a range of galaxy types, from star-forming to passive galaxies. Each spectrum has been shifted to its rest frame and covers the wavelength interval 3000-8000 Angstroms. The specific fluxes, :math:`F_\lambda(\lambda)`, on the ordinate axes have an arbitrary scaling. .. image:: ../images/chapter7/fig_spec_examples_1.png :scale: 100 :align: center .. raw:: html
