Reliability of the measured velocity anisotropy of the Milky Way stellar halo
Kohei Hattori, Monica Valluri, Sarah R. Loebman +1
Determining the velocity distribution of halo stars is essential for estimating the mass of the Milky Way and for inferring its formation history. Since the stellar halo is a dynam…

Beta Dips in the Gaia Era: Simulation Predictions of the Galactic Velocity Anisotropy Parameter for Stellar Halos
Sarah R. Loebman, Monica Valluri, Kohei Hattori +7
The velocity anisotropy parameter, beta, is a measure of the kinematic state of orbits in the stellar halo which holds promise for constraining the merger history of the Milky Way…
