The Milky Way's Circular Velocity Curve to 60 kpc and an Estimate of the Dark Matter Halo Mass from Kinematics of ~2400 SDSS Blue Horizontal Branch Stars

X. -X. Xue, H. -W. Rix, G. Zhao +14

We derive new constraints on the mass of the Milky Way's dark matter halo, based on a set of halo stars from SDSS as kinematic tracers. Our sample comprises 2401 rigorously selecte…

Theory of cooling neutron stars versus observations

D. G. Yakovlev, O. Y. Gnedin, A. D. Kaminker +1

We review current state of neutron star cooling theory and discuss the prospects to constrain the equation of state, neutrino emission and superfluid properties of neutron star cor…

Fluorine in a Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor Star

S. C. Schuler, K. Cunha, V. V. Smith +3

The fluorine abundance of the Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor (CEMP) star HE 1305+0132 has been derived by analysis of the molecular HF (1-0) R9 line at 2.3357 microns in a high-resolut…

The Overdensity in Virgo, Sagittarius Debris, and the Asymmetric Spheroid

Heidi Jo Newberg, Brian Yanny, Nate Cole +4

We investigate the relationship between several previously identified Galactic halo stellar structures in the direction of Virgo using imaging and spectroscopic observations of F t…
