Halo Substructure in the SDSS-Gaia Catalogue : Streams and Clumps

G. C. Myeong, N. W. Evans, V. Belokurov +2

We use the SDSS-Gaia Catalogue to identify six new pieces of halo substructure. SDSS-Gaia is an astrometric catalogue that exploits SDSS data release 9 to provide first epoch photo…

To the Galactic Virial Radius with Hyper Suprime-Cam

Alis J. Deason, Vasily Belokurov, Sergey E. Koposov

We exploit the exquisite, deep Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) imaging data to probe the Galactic halo out to 200 kpc. Using the ~100 square degree, multi-band photometry of the first HSC…

Unmixing the Galactic Halo with RR Lyrae tagging

V. Belokurov, A. J. Deason, S. E. Koposov +4

We show that tagging RR Lyrae stars according to their location in the period-amplitude diagram can be used to shed light on the genesis of the Galactic stellar halo. The mixture o…

Discovery of a thin stellar stream in the SLAMS survey

P. Jethwa, G. Torrealba, C. Navarrete +8

We report the discovery of a thin stellar stream - which we name the Jet stream - crossing the constellations of Hydra and Pyxis. The discovery was made in data from the SLAMS surv…

The Geometry of Sagittarius Stream from Pan-STARRS1 3 RR Lyrae

Nina Hernitschek, Branimir Sesar, Hans-Walter Rix +11

We present a comprehensive and precise description of the Sagittarius (Sgr) stellar stream's 3D geometry as traced by its old stellar population. This analysis draws on the sample…

Cresting the wave: Proper motions of the Eastern Banded Structure

Alis J. Deason, Vasily Belokurov, Sergey E. Koposov

We study the kinematic properties of the Eastern Banded Structure (EBS) and Hydra I overdensity using exquisite proper motions derived from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and…
