An Algorithm for Reconstructing the Orphan Stream Progenitor with MilkyWay@home Volunteer Computing
Siddhartha Shelton, Heidi Jo Newberg, Jake Weiss +16
We have developed a method for estimating the properties of the progenitor dwarf galaxy from the tidal stream of stars that were ripped from it as it fell into the Milky Way. In pa…
Fitting the density substructure of the stellar halo with MilkyWay@home
Jake Weiss, Heidi Jo Newberg, Matthew Newby +1
We propose and test a method for applying statistical photometric parallax to main sequence turn off (MSTO) stars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Using simulated data, we s…
A tangle of stellar streams in the north Galactic cap
Jake Weiss, Heidi Jo Newberg, Travis Desell
Stellar halo substructures were identified using statistical photometric parallax of blue main sequence turnoff stars from fourteen Sloan Digital Sky Survey stripes in the north Ga…
MilkyWay@home: Harnessing volunteer computers to constrain dark matter in the Milky Way
Heidi Jo Newberg, Matthew Newby, Travis Desell +3
MilkyWay@home is a volunteer computing project that allows people from every country in the world to volunteer their otherwise idle processors to Milky Way research. Currently, mor…
