The cumulative mass profile of the Milky Way as determined by globular cluster kinematics from Gaia DR2
Gwendolyn Eadie, Mario Jurić
We present new mass estimates and cumulative mass profiles (CMPs) with Bayesian credible regions for the Milky Way (MW) Galaxy, given the kinematic data of globular clusters as pro…
A Map of Dust Reddening to 4.5 kpc from Pan-STARRS1
E. F. Schlafly, G. Green, D. P. Finkbeiner +17
We present a map of the dust reddening to 4.5 kpc derived from Pan-STARRS1 stellar photometry. The map covers almost the entire sky north of declination -30 degrees at a resolution…
Measuring Distances and Reddenings for a Billion Stars: Towards A 3D Dust Map from Pan-STARRS 1
Gregory Maurice Green, Edward F. Schlafly, Douglas P. Finkbeiner +13
We present a method to infer reddenings and distances to stars, based only on their broad-band photometry, and show how this method can be used to produce a three-dimensional dust…
Towards a complete stellar mass function of the Hyades. I. Pan-STARRS1 optical observations of the low-mass stellar content
B. Goldman, S. Röser, E. Schilbach +16
The Hyades cluster is an ideal target to study the dynamical evolution of a star cluster over the entire mass range due to its intermediate age and proximity to the Sun. We wanted…
Exploring the Variable Sky with LINEAR. II. Halo Structure and Substructure Traced by RR Lyrae Stars to 30 kpc
Branimir Sesar, Željko Ivezić, J. Scott Stuart +7
We present a sample of ~5,000 RR Lyrae stars selected from the recalibrated LINEAR dataset and detected at heliocentric distances between 5 kpc and 30 kpc over ~8,000 deg^2 of sky.…
Milky Way Tomography IV: Dissecting Dust
Michael Berry, Željko Ivezić, Branimir Sesar +28
We use SDSS photometry of 73 million stars to simultaneously obtain best-fit main-sequence stellar energy distribution (SED) and amount of dust extinction along the line of sight t…
