Red Runaways II: Low mass Hills stars in SDSS Stripe 82
Yanqiong Zhang, Martin C. Smith, Jeffrey L. Carlin
Stars ejected from the Galactic centre can be used to place important constraints on the Milky Way potential. Since existing hypervelocity stars are too distant to accurately deter…
New tidal debris nearby the Sagittarius leading tail from the LAMOST DR2 M giant stars
Jing Li, Chao Liu, Jeffrey L. Carlin +7
We report two new tidal debris nearby the Sagittarius (Sgr) tidal stream in the north Galactic cap identified from the M giant stars in LAMOST DR2 data. The M giant stars with sky…
Selecting M-giants with infra-red photometry: Distances, metallicities and the Sagittarius stream
Jing Li, Martin C. Smith, Jing Zhong +9
Using a spectroscopically confirmed sample of M-giants, M-dwarfs and quasars from the LAMOST survey, we assess how well WISE 2MASS color-cuts can be used to select M-giant sta…
Stellar Streams and Clouds in the Galactic Halo
Carl J. Grillmair, Jeffrey L. Carlin
Recent years have seen the discovery of an ever growing number of stellar debris streams and clouds. These structures are typically detected as extended and often curvilinear overd…
Characterizing the SHARDS of Disrupted Milky Way Satellites with LAMOST
Jeffrey L. Carlin, Chao Liu, Heidi Jo Newberg +7
We derive the fraction of substructure in the Galactic halo using a sample of over 10,000 spectroscopically-confirmed halo giant stars from the LAMOST spectroscopic survey. By obse…
Stellar Tidal Streams in External Galaxies
Jeffrey L. Carlin, Rachael L. Beaton, David Martinez-Delgado +1
To place the highly substructured stellar halos of the Milky Way and M31 in a larger context of hierarchical galaxy formation, it is necessary to understand the prevalence and prop…
