In Pursuit of LSST Science Requirements: A Comparison of Photometry Algorithms
Andrew C. Becker, Nicole M. Silvestri, Russell E. Owen +2
We have developed an end-to-end photometric data processing pipeline to compare current photometric algorithms commonly used on ground-based imaging data. This testbed is exceeding…
Distances to Galactic high-velocity clouds. Complex C
B. P. Wakker, D. G. York, J. C. Howk +8
We report the first determination of a distance bracket for the high-velocity cloud (HVC) complex C. Combined with previous measurements showing that this cloud has a metallicity o…
Distances to Galactic high-velocity clouds. I. Cohen Stream, complex GCP, cloud g1
B. P. Wakker, D. G. York, R. Wilhelm +5
The high- and intermediate-velocity interstellar clouds (HVCs/IVCs) are tracers of energetic processes in and around the Milky Way. Clouds with near-solar metallicity about one kpc…
Improved photometry of SDSS crowded field images: Structure and dark matter content in the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Leo I
V. Smolcic, D. Zucker, E. F. Bell +5
We explore how well crowded field point-source photometry can be accomplished with SDSS data: We present a photometric pipeline based on DoPhot, and tuned for analyzing crowded-fie…
Stellar SEDs from 0.3-2.5 Microns: Tracing the Stellar Locus and Searching for Color Outliers in SDSS and 2MASS
Kevin R. Covey, Zeljko Ivezic, David J. Schlegel +15
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) are rich resources for studying stellar astrophysics and the structure and formation history of the Galaxy…
The accretion origin of the Milky Way's stellar halo
Eric F. Bell, Daniel B. Zucker, Vasily Belokurov +15
We have used data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 5 to explore the overall structure and substructure of the stellar halo of the Milky Way using about 4 milli…
