Quantifying Kinematic Substructure in the Milky Way's Stellar Halo
Xiang-Xiang Xue, Hans-Walter Rix, Brian Yanny +13
We present and analyze the positions, distances, and radial velocities for over 4000 blue horizontal-branch (BHB) stars in the Milky Way's halo, drawn from SDSS DR8. We search for…

Testing formation mechanisms of the Milky Way's thick disc with RAVE
Michelle Wilson, Amina Helmi, H. L. Morrison +21
We study the eccentricity distribution of a thick disc sample of stars observed in the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) and compare it to that expected in four simulations of thic…

SEGUE-2 Limits on Metal-Rich Old-Population Hypervelocity Stars In the Galactic Halo
Juna A. Kollmeier, Andrew Gould, Constance Rockosi +7
We present new limits on the ejection of metal-rich old-population hypervelocity stars from the Galactic center (GC) as probed by the SEGUE-2 survey. Our limits are a factor of 3-1…
