The Sagittarius Streams in the Southern Galactic Hemisphere

Sergey E. Koposov, V. Belokurov, N. W. Evans +12

The structure of the Sagittarius stream in the Southern Galactic hemisphere is analysed with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 8. Parallel to the Sagittarius tidal track, b…

Distance determination for RAVE stars using stellar models III: The nature of the RAVE survey and Milky Way chemistry

B. Burnett, J. Binney, S. Sharma +19

We apply the method of Burnett & Binney (2010) for the determination of stellar distances and parameters to the internal catalogue of the Radial Velocity Experiment (Steinmetz et a…

Distance determination for RAVE stars using stellar models II: Most likely values assuming a standard stellar evolution scenario

T. Zwitter, G. Matijevič, M. A. Breddels +23

The RAdial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) is a spectroscopic survey of the Milky Way. We use the subsample of spectra with spectroscopically determined values of stellar parameters to…

A Strip Search for New Very Wide Halo Binaries

D. P. Quinn, M. C. Smith

We report on a search for new wide halo binary stars in SDSS Stripe 82. A list of new halo wide binary candidates which satisfy common proper motion and photometric constraints is…
