Discovery of a New, Polar-Orbiting Debris Stream in the Milky Way Stellar Halo
Heidi Jo Newberg, Brian Yanny, Benjamin A. Willett
We show that there is a low metallicity tidal stream that runs along l=143 deg. in the South Galactic Cap, about 34 kpc from the Sun, discovered from SEGUE stellar velocities. Sinc…

An Orbit Fit for the Grillmair Dionatos Cold Stellar Stream
Benjamin A. Willett, Heidi Jo Newberg, Haotong Zhang +2
We use velocity and metallicity information from SDSS and SEGUE stellar spectroscopy to fit an orbit to the narrow stellar stream of Grillmair and Dionatos. The stars in…
