The SEGUE K Giant Survey. III. Quantifying Galactic Halo Substructure

William Janesh, Heather L. Morrison, Zhibo Ma +9

We statistically quantify the amount of substructure in the Milky Way stellar halo using a sample of 4568 halo K giant stars at Galactocentric distances ranging over 5-125 kpc. The…
