The eighteenth data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys (SDSS) is the first one for SDSS-V, the fifth generation of the survey. SDSS-V comprises three primary scientific programs, or "Mappers": Milky Way Mapper (MWM), Black Hole Mapper (BHM), and Local Volume Mapper (LVM). This data release contains extensive targeting information for the two multi-object spectroscopy programs (MWM and BHM), including input catalogs and selection functions for their numerous scientific objectives. We describe the production of the targeting databases and their calibration- and scientifically-focused components. DR18 also includes ~25,000 new SDSS spectra and supplemental information for X-ray sources identified by eROSITA in its eFEDS field. We present updates to some of the SDSS software pipelines and preview changes anticipated for DR19. We also describe three value-added catalogs (VACs) based on SDSS-IV data that have been published since DR17, and one VAC based on the SDSS-V data in the eFEDS field.

    astro-ph.SR 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The authors apply El-Badry's binary decomposition via agent-callable tools to APOGEE DR19, flagging 41,466 SB2 candidates with about 40% estimated contamination, and measuring no eccentricity excess for close twins.

  2. CORN -- Chronometers of Relic Nature I: The first estimate of the expansion rate of the Universe using compact relic galaxies

    astro-ph.CO 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The first Hubble-parameter measurement using relic galaxies gives H(z=0.15)=85±53 km/s/Mpc and identifies alpha-element enhancement as a major systematic in the Dn4000 chronometer method.

  3. Cataclysmic variables from SRG/eROSITA: new systems from eRASS1

    astro-ph.SR 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    A Random Forest plus Gaia/eROSITA match yields 156 spectroscopically confirmed CVs from eRASS1, spanning subtypes, periods, and luminosities, with the method outperforming several published alternatives.

  4. SRG/eROSITA X-ray selected cataclysmic variable candidates observed in SDSS-V DR20

    astro-ph.SR 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    eROSITA-selected SDSS-V DR20 spectroscopy yields 587 cataclysmic variables (274 known), including new nearby systems, AM CVns, and a low-accretion-rate polar.

  5. The Twentieth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First All-Sky BOSS Spectra, eROSITA-SDSS-V Mapper Coordinated Observations, and a Preview of the Local Volume Mapper

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    DR20 releases over three million BOSS spectra (first southern-hemisphere SDSS-V optical data), 169 LVM integral-field tiles over six targets, and eighteen value-added catalogs.

  6. The role of filaments in the large-scale conformity signal

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    Filamentary regions of the cosmic web are the primary contributors to the residual large-scale conformity signal of low-mass central galaxies in both SAG and TNG300.

  7. The Radio Properties of Extreme Coronal Line Emitters: Constraints on the Sub-parsec Environment

    astro-ph.HE 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    About half of low-redshift ECLEs are radio-bright like TDEs/AGN; SED modeling of four shows the ECL gas is clumpy (f_V ~ 10^{-5}-10^{-2}) and spatially distinct from the radio-emitting region.

  8. Sloan Digital Sky Survey-V: Pioneering Panoptic Spectroscopy

    astro-ph.IM 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    SDSS-V presents the first all-sky, multi-epoch optical and infrared spectroscopic survey with a new robotic focal plane system and an ultra-wide-field integral field spectrograph.

  9. A Bright Future? Prospects for Cosmological Tests of GR with Multimessenger Gravitational Wave Events

    gr-qc 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Simulated bright siren events show LVK-era detections will not competitively constrain Horndeski gravity parameters, while one year of Einstein Telescope observations could detect αM ≠ 0 at over 3σ.

  10. An iterative method to deblend AGN-Host contributions for Integral Field spectroscopic observations

    astro-ph.GA 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new iterative fitting routine deblends unresolved AGN emission from resolved host-galaxy emission in IFS datacubes by jointly modeling a Moffat PSF and a Sérsic host profile per wavelength slice.

  11. Beyond traditional emission-line diagnostics: using autoencoders to uncover active galactic nuclei in DESI spectra

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 accept novelty 5.5 of 10

    SPENDER autoencoder plus k-d tree nearest-neighbor classification on DESI spectra identifies AGN and broad-line AGN at accuracies 0.952 and 0.965, recovering sources missed by single-line diagnostics.

  12. Spectroscopic redshifts of selected flat-spectrum radio sources I

    astro-ph.CO 2026-07 accept novelty 3.5 of 10

    New spectroscopic redshifts are reported for six of fifteen bright SMILE flat-spectrum radio sources observed with the Skinakas 1.3 m telescope.
