Detection of the LMC-induced sloshing of the Galactic halo
Denis Erkal, Alis J. Deason, Vasily Belokurov +8
A wealth of recent studies have shown that the LMC is likely massive, with a halo mass . One consequence of having such a nearby and massive neighbour is that the…
The mass of the Milky Way out to 100 kpc using halo stars
Alis J. Deason, Denis Erkal, Vasily Belokurov +9
We use a distribution function analysis to estimate the mass of the Milky Way out to 100 kpc using a large sample of halo stars. These stars are compiled from the literature, and t…
Differential rotation of the halo traced by the K-giant stars
Hao Tian, Chao Liu, Yougang Wang +4
We use K-giant stars selected from the LAMOST DR5 to study the variation of the rotational velocity of the galactic halo at different space positions. Modelling the rotational velo…
Constraints on the assembly history of the Milky Way's smooth, diffuse stellar halo from the metallicity-dependent, radially-dominated velocity anisotropy profiles probed with K giants and BHB stars using LAMOST, SDSS/SEGUE, and Gaia
Sarah A. Bird, Xiang-Xiang Xue, Chao Liu +5
We analyze the anisotropy profile of the Milky Way's smooth, diffuse stellar halo using SDSS/SEGUE blue horizontal branch stars and SDSS/SEGUE and LAMOST K giants. These intrinsica…
