Four New Stellar Debris Streams in the Galactic Halo

Carl J. Grillmair

We report on the detection of four new stellar debris streams and a new dwarf galaxy candidate in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Three of the streams, ranging between 3 and 15 kpc i…

Fishing in Tidal Streams: New Radial Velocity and Proper Motion Constraints on the Orbit of the Anticenter Stream

Carl J. Grillmair, Jeffrey L. Carlin, Steven R. Majewski

We have obtained radial velocity measurements for stars in two, widely-separated fields in the Anticenter Stream. Combined with SDSS/USNO-B proper motions, the new measurements all…

Detection of a 63 Degree Cold Stellar Stream in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

Carl J. Grillmair, Odysseas Dionatos

We report on the detection in Sloan Digital Sky Survey data of a 63 degree-long tidal stream of stars, extending from Ursa Major to Cancer. The stream has no obvious association wi…
