Galactic Stellar Halo Luminosity Function
Sarah A. Bird, Chris Flynn, Rudra Sekhri +5
We measure the luminosity function (LF) of the Milky Way's stellar halo, using a magnitude complete, distance limited sample of stars from DR3. Stars with high transverse ve…
Signatures of star streams in the phase space distribution of nearby halo stars
C. Dettbarn, B. Fuchs, C. Flynn +1
We have analyzed the phase space distribution of a sample of about 900 non--kinematically selected low metallicity stars in the solar vicinity. The stars primarily represent the th…
The Galactic Nature of High Velocity Cloud Complex WB
C. Thom, M. E. Putman, B. K. Gibson +5
We have detected absorption lines from the High Velocity Cloud Complex WB in the spectrum of the star HE1048+0231. This detection sets an upper distance limit to the cloud of 8.8^{…
The stellar content of the Hamburg/ESO survey. III. Field horizontal-branch stars in the Galaxy
N. Christlieb, T. C. Beers, C. Thom +5
We present a sample of 8321 candidate Field Horizontal-Branch (FHB) stars selected by automatic spectral classification in the digital data base of the Hamburg/ESO objective-prism…
A dynamical and kinematical model of the Galactic stellar halo and possible implications for galaxy formation scenarios
J. Sommer-Larsen, T. C. Beers, C. Flynn +2
We re-analyse the kinematics of the system of blue horizontal branch field (BHBF) stars in the Galactic halo (in particular the outer halo), fitting the kinematics with the model o…
