The Milky Way's Circular Velocity Curve to 60 kpc and an Estimate of the Dark Matter Halo Mass from Kinematics of ~2400 SDSS Blue Horizontal Branch Stars
X. -X. Xue, H. -W. Rix, G. Zhao +14
We derive new constraints on the mass of the Milky Way's dark matter halo, based on a set of halo stars from SDSS as kinematic tracers. Our sample comprises 2401 rigorously selecte…

Identification of RR Lyrae Variables in SDSS from Single-Epoch Photometric and Spectroscopic Observations
Ronald Wilhelm, W. Lee Powell, Timothy C. Beers +9
We describe a new RR Lyrae identification technique based on out-of-phase single-epoch photometric and spectroscopic observations contained in SDSS Data Release 6 (DR-6). This tech…
