Structure in the motions of the fastest halo stars
P. ReFiorentin, A. Helmi, M. G. Lattanzi +1
We have analyzed the catalog of 2106 non-kinematically selected metal poor stars in the solar neighborhood published by Beers et al. (2000), with the goal of quantifying the amount…
Structure of the Galactic Halo towards the North Galactic Pole
T. D. Kinman, A. Bragaglia, C. Cacciari +2
We have used RR Lyrae and Blue HB stars as tracers of the old Galactic halo, in order to study the halo structure and the galactic rotation as a function of height above the plane.…
The GAIA Astrometric Survey of the Solar Neighborhood and its Contribution to the Target Database for DARWIN/TPF
A. Sozzetti, S. Casertano, M. G. Lattanzi +1
We evaluate the potential of the ESA Cornerstone Mission GAIA in helping populate the database of nearby stars ( pc) for subsequent target selection for DARWIN/TPF. The GAI…
Galaxy structure and kinematics towards the NGP
A. Spagna, C. Cacciari, R. Drimmel +3
We present a proper motion survey over about 200 square degrees towards the NGP, based on the material used for the construction of the GSC-II, that we are using to study the verti…
Faint and peculiar objects in GAIA: results from GSC-II
D. Carollo, A. Spagna, M. G. Lattanzi +3
The one billion objects in the GSC-II make up a formidable data set for the hunt of peculiar and rare targets such as late type stars, white dwarfs, carbon dwarfs, asteroids, varia…
The Vertical Structure of the Halo Rotation
T. D. Kinman, C. Cacciari, A. Bragaglia +2
New GSC-II proper motions of RR Lyrae and Blue Horizontal Branch (BHB) stars near the North Galactic Pole are used to show that the Galactic Halo 5 kpc above the Plane has a signif…
