Description

We present a catalog of galaxy clusters selected using the maxBCG red-sequence method from Sloan Digital Sky Survey photometric data. This catalog includes 13823 clusters with velocity dispersions greater than ~400km/s and is the largest galaxy cluster catalog assembled to date. They are selected in an approximately volume-limited way from a 0.5Gpc^3^ region covering 7500deg^2^ of sky between redshifts 0.1 and 0.3. Each cluster contains between 10 and 190 E/S0 ridgeline galaxies brighter than 0.4L* within a scaled radius R_200_.
