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…
The SEGUE Stellar Parameter Pipeline. II. Validation with Galactic Globular and Open Clusters
Y. S. Lee, T. C. Beers, T. Sivarani +13
We validate the performance and accuracy of the current SEGUE (Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Exploration) Stellar Parameter Pipeline (SSPP), which determines stell…
Exploring the Variable Sky with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Branimir Sesar, Zeljko Ivezic, Robert H. Lupton +29
We quantify the variability of faint unresolved optical sources using a catalog based on multiple SDSS imaging observations. The catalog covers SDSS Stripe 82, and contains 58 mill…
SDSS Standard Star Catalog for Stripe 82: the Dawn of Industrial 1% Optical Photometry
Zeljko Ivezic, J. Allyn Smith, Gajus Miknaitis +2
We describe a standard star catalog constructed using multiple SDSS photometric observations (at least four per band, with a median of ten) in the system. The catalog inclu…
