A total of 3161 pairs of stars having all five listed magnitudes within 0.03 magnitudes of their partner values and lying within 30 arc seconds of each other have been identified from the nearly 500 million objects listed in the SDSS-III Data release 8.
Over the last few years I have carried out many astronomical data mining or data analysis projects. Most remain unpublished and this series of papers aims to put them all into the public domain. I welcome constructive feedback from readers and encourage colleagues to take the work forward, perhaps as far as peer reviewed publication. I can be contacted by email. and this address is monitored daily.
