The Milky Way Tomography with SDSS: III. Stellar Kinematics
N. A. Bond, Z. Ivezic, B. Sesar +2
We study Milky Way kinematics using a sample of 18.8 million main-sequence stars with r<20 and proper-motion measurements derived from SDSS and POSS astrometry, including ~170,000…
Proper Motions in Kapteyn Selected Area 103: A Preliminary Orbit for the Virgo Stellar Stream
Dana I. Casetti-Dinescu, Terrence M. Girard, Steven R. Majewski +5
We present absolute proper motions in Kapteyn Selected Area (SA) 103. This field is located 7 degrees west of the center of the Virgo Stellar Stream (VSS, Duffau et al. 2006), and…
SEGUE: A Spectroscopic Survey of 240,000 stars with g=14-20
II SEGUE Collaboration, Brian Yanny, Constance Rockosi +2
The SEGUE survey obtained 240,000 moderate resolution (R = 1800) spectra from 3900 - 9000 Angstroms of fainter Milky Way stars (14.0 < g < 20.3) of a wide variety of spectral types…
