The Burrell Schmidt Deep Virgo Survey: Tidal Debris, Galaxy Halos, and Diffuse Intracluster Light in the Virgo Cluster
J. Christopher Mihos, Paul Harding, John J. Feldmeier +5
We present a deep imaging survey of the Virgo Cluster, designed to study the connection between cluster galaxies and Virgo's diffuse intracluster light (ICL). Our observations span…
Globular and Open Clusters Observed by SDSS/SEGUE: the Giant Stars
Heather L. Morrison, Zhibo Ma, James L. Clem +10
We present griz observations for the clusters M92, M13 and NGC 6791 and gr photometry for M71, Be 29 and NGC 7789. In addition we present new membership identifications for all the…
The radial profile and flattening of the Milky Way's stellar halo to kpc from the SEGUE K-giant Survey
Xiang-Xiang Xue, Hans-Walter Rix, Zhibo Ma +4
We characterise the radial density, metallicity and flattening profile of the Milky Way's stellar halo, based on the large sample of 1757 spectroscopically confirmed giant stars fr…
The SEGUE K Giant Survey. III. Quantifying Galactic Halo Substructure
William Janesh, Heather L. Morrison, Zhibo Ma +9
We statistically quantify the amount of substructure in the Milky Way stellar halo using a sample of 4568 halo K giant stars at Galactocentric distances ranging over 5-125 kpc. The…
Deep SDSS optical spectroscopy of distant halo stars I. Atmospheric parameters and stellar metallicity distribution
C. Allende Prieto, E. Fernandez-Alvar, K. J. Schlesinger +14
We analyze a sample of tens of thousands of spectra of halo turnoff stars, obtained with the optical spectrographs of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), to characterize the stell…
The Tenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First Spectroscopic Data from the SDSS-III Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment
Christopher P. Ahn, Rachael Alexandroff, Carlos Allende Prieto +232
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has been in operation since 2000 April. This paper presents the tenth public data release (DR10) from its current incarnation, SDSS-III. This da…
