Tracing Kinematic and Chemical Properties of Sagittarius Stream by K-Giants, M-Giants, and BHB stars
Chengqun Yang, Xiang-Xiang Xue, Jing Li +12
We characterize the kinematic and chemical properties of 3,000 Sagittarius (Sgr) stream stars, including K-giants, M-giants, and BHBs, select from SEGUE-2, LAMOST, and SDSS s…
In Pursuit of Galactic Archaeology: Astro2020 Science White Paper
Melissa Ness, Jonathan Bird, Jennifer Johnson +30
The next decade affords tremendous opportunity to achieve the goals of Galactic archaeology. That is, to reconstruct the evolutionary narrative of the Milky Way, based on the empir…
Identifying Galactic Halo Substructure in 6D Phase-space Using 13,000 LAMOST K Giants
Chengqun Yang, Xiang-Xiang Xue, Jing Li +6
We construct a large halo K-giant sample by combining the positions, distances, radial velocities, and metallicities of over 13,000 LAMOST DR5 halo K giants with the Gaia DR2 prope…
Detecting the Sagittarius stream with LAMOST DR4 M giants \& Gaia DR2
Jing Li, Chao Liu, Xiangxiang Xue +4
We use LAMOST DR4 M giants combined with Gaia DR2 proper motions and ALLWISE photometry to obtain an extremely pure sample of Sagittarius (Sgr) stream stars. Using TiO5 and CaH spe…
Revealing the Complicated Story of the Cetus Stream with StarGO
Zhen Yuan, M. C. Smith, Xiang-Xiang Xue +5
We use a novel cluster identification tool StarGO to explore the metal poor ([Fe/H] -1.5) outer stellar halo (d 15 kpc) of the Milky Way using data from Gaia, LAMOST and SD…
