Luminosity-Colours relations for thin disc main-sequence stars

S. Bilir, S. Karaali, S. Ak +3

In this study we present the absolute magnitude calibrations of thin disc main-sequence stars in the optical (), and in the near-infrared (). Thin disc stars are iden…

Estimation of galactic model parameters in high latitudes with SDSS

S. Bilir, A. Cabrera-Lavers, S. Karaali +3

We estimated the Galactic model parameters for a set of 36 high-latitude fields included in the currently available Data Release 5 (DR 5) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey ({\em SDSS…

Transformations between 2MASS, SDSS and BVRI photometric systems: bridging the near infrared and optical

S. Bilir, S. Ak, S. Karaali +3

We present colour transformations for the conversion of the {\em 2MASS} photometric system to the Johnson-Cousins system and further into the {\em SDSS} system. We…

Volume limited dependent Galactic model parameters

S. Karaali, S. Bilir, E. Yaz +2

We estimated 34 sets of Galactic model parameters for three intermediate latitude fields with Galactic longitudes l=60, l=90, and l=180, and we discussed their dependence on the vo…

The metallicity distributions in high-latitudes with SDSS

S. Ak, S. Bilir, S. Karaali +2

We present metallicities and their variations with different parameters for 36 high-latitude fields covering Galactic longitudes 0<l<360. The metallicities for relatively short ver…

Estimation of Galactic model parameters with the SDSS and metallicity distribution in two fields in the anti-centre direction of the Galaxy

S. Ak, S. Bilir, S. Karaali +1

We estimated the Galactic model parameters from the SDSS data reduced for two fields in the anti-centre direction of the Galaxy, , and symmetric relative to the Galacti…
