Quantifying Kinematic Substructure in the Milky Way's Stellar Halo
Xiang-Xiang Xue, Hans-Walter Rix, Brian Yanny +13
We present and analyze the positions, distances, and radial velocities for over 4000 blue horizontal-branch (BHB) stars in the Milky Way's halo, drawn from SDSS DR8. We search for…
Star formation histories and evolution of 35 brightest E+A galaxies from SDSS DR5
Wei Du, A-Li Luo, Philippe Prugniel +2
We pick out the 35 brightest galaxies from Goto's E+A galaxies catalogue which are selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 5. The spectra of E+As are prominently ch…
Eight new quasars discovered by LAMOST in one extragalactic field
Xue-Bing Wu, Zhendong Jia, Zhaoyu Chen +18
We report the discovery of eight new quasars in one extragalactic field (five degree centered at RA=, Dec=) with the LAMOST commissioning observation…
A very bright i=16.44 quasar in the `redshift desert' discovered by LAMOST
Xue-Bing Wu, Zhaoyu Chen, Zhendong Jia +18
The redshift range from 2.2 to 3, is known as the 'redshift desert' of quasars because quasars with redshift in this range have similar optical colors as normal stars and are thus…
