SDSS IV MaNGA: Discovery of an blob associated with a dry galaxy pair -- ejected gas or a `dark' galaxy candidate?
Lihwai Lin, Jing-Hua Lin, Chin-Hao Hsu +31
We report the discovery of a mysterious giant blob that is kpc away from the main MaNGA target 1-24145, one component of a dry galaxy merger, identified in the first…
Probing Galactic Structure with the Spatial Correlation Function of SEGUE G-dwarf Stars
Qingqing Mao, Andreas A. Berlind, Kelly Holley-Bockelmann +8
We measure the two-point correlation function of G-dwarf stars within 1-3 kpc of the Sun in multiple lines-of-sight using the Schlesinger et al. G-dwarf sample from the SDSS SEGUE…
P-MaNGA: Full spectral fitting and stellar population maps from prototype observations
David M. Wilkinson, Claudia Maraston, Daniel Thomas +31
MaNGA (Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory) is a 6-year SDSS-IV survey that will obtain resolved spectroscopy from 3600 to 10300 for a representative sample…
The Milky Way's circular velocity curve between 4 and 14 kpc from APOGEE data
Jo Bovy, Carlos Allende Prieto, Timothy C. Beers +30
We measure the Milky Way's rotation curve over the Galactocentric range 4 kpc <~ R <~ 14 kpc from the first year of data from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experi…
Tracing Sagittarius Structure with SDSS and SEGUE Imaging and Spectroscopy
Brian Yanny, Heidi Jo Newberg, Jennifer A. Johnson +12
We show that the Sagittarius dwarf tidal stream can be traced with very red K/M-giant stars selected from SDSS photometry. A subset of these stars are spectroscopically confirmed w…
The kinematics of late type stars in the solar cylinder studied with SDSS data
B. Fuchs, C. Dettbarn, H. -W. Rix +11
We study the velocity distribution of Milky Way disk stars in a kiloparsec-sized region around the Sun, based on ~ 2 million M-type stars from DR7 of SDSS, which have newly re-cali…
