Mapping the Milky Way with LAMOST I: Method and overview
Chao Liu, Yan Xu, Jun-Chen Wan +8
We present a statistical method to derive the stellar density profiles of the Milky Way from spectroscopic survey data, taking into account selection effects. We assume that the se…
A Spatial Characterization of the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy Tidal Tails
Matthew Newby, Nathan Cole, Heidi Jo Newberg +6
We measure the spatial density of F turnoff stars in the Sagittarius dwarf tidal stream, from Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) data, using statistical photometric parallax. We find…
Cats and Dogs, Hair and A Hero: A Quintet of New Milky Way Companions
V. Belokurov, D. B. Zucker, N. W. Evans +31
We present five new satellites of the Milky Way discovered in Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) imaging data, four of which were followed-up with either the Subaru or the Isaac Newto…
The Field of Streams: Sagittarius and its Siblings
V. Belokurov, D. B. Zucker, N. W. Evans +18
We use Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 5 (DR5) u,g,r,i,z photometry to study Milky Way halo substructure in the area around the North Galactic Cap. A simple color cut…
Measurements of Omega and Lambda from 42 High-Redshift Supernovae
S. Perlmutter, G. Aldering, G. Goldhaber +29
We report measurements of the mass density, Omega_M, and cosmological-constant energy density, Omega_Lambda, of the universe based on the analysis of 42 Type Ia supernovae discover…
