LAMOST Experiment for Galactic Understanding and Exploration (LEGUE) The survey science plan
Licai Deng, Heidi Jo Newberg, Chao Liu +22
We describe the current plans for a spectroscopic survey of millions of stars in the Milky Way galaxy using the Guo Shou Jing Telescope (GSJT, formerly the Large Area Multi-Object…
The LEGUE Input Catalogue for Dark Night Observing in the LAMOST Pilot Survey
Fan Yang, Jeffrey L. Carlin, Chao Liu +14
We outline the design of the dark nights portion of the LAMOST Pilot Survey, which began observations in October 2011. In particular, we focus on Milky Way stellar candidates that…
The LEGUE High Latitude Bright Survey Design for the LAMOST Pilot Survey
Yueyang Zhang, Jeffrey L. Carlin, Fan Yang +14
We describe the footprint and input catalog for bright nights in the LAMOST Pilot Survey, which began in October 2011. Targets are selected from two stripes in the north and south…
The site conditions of the Guo Shou Jing Telescope
Song Yao, Chao Liu, Haotong Zhang +18
The weather at Xinglong Observing Station, where the Guo Shou Jing Telescope (GSJT) is located, is strongly affected by the monsoon climate in north-east China. The LAMOST survey s…
The selection of LEGUE disk targets for LAMOST's pilot survey
Li Chen, Jinliang Hou, Jincheng Yu +18
We describe the target selection algorithm for the low latitude disk portion of the LAMOST Pilot Survey, which aims to test systems in preparation for the LAMOST spectroscopic surv…
On Rings and Streams in the Galactic Anti-Center
Jing Li, Heidi Jo Newberg, Jeffrey L. Carlin +5
We confirm that there are at least three separate low-latitude over-densities of blue F turnoff stars near the Milky Way anti-center: the Monoceros Ring, the Anti-Center Stream (AC…
