Toward constraints on galaxy formation scenarios: stellar properties from Galactic surveys
P. Re Fiorentin, C. A. L. Bailer-Jones, T. C. Beers +3
We present some of the strategies being developed to classify and parameterize objects obtained with spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the RAdial Velocity Experi…
The Milky Way's Circular Velocity Curve to 60 kpc and an Estimate of the Dark Matter Halo Mass from Kinematics of ~2400 SDSS Blue Horizontal Branch Stars
X. -X. Xue, H. -W. Rix, G. Zhao +14
We derive new constraints on the mass of the Milky Way's dark matter halo, based on a set of halo stars from SDSS as kinematic tracers. Our sample comprises 2401 rigorously selecte…
Identification of RR Lyrae Variables in SDSS from Single-Epoch Photometric and Spectroscopic Observations
Ronald Wilhelm, W. Lee Powell, Timothy C. Beers +9
We describe a new RR Lyrae identification technique based on out-of-phase single-epoch photometric and spectroscopic observations contained in SDSS Data Release 6 (DR-6). This tech…
The SEGUE Stellar Parameter Pipeline. II. Validation with Galactic Globular and Open Clusters
Y. S. Lee, T. C. Beers, T. Sivarani +13
We validate the performance and accuracy of the current SEGUE (Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Exploration) Stellar Parameter Pipeline (SSPP), which determines stell…
Fluorine in a Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor Star
S. C. Schuler, K. Cunha, V. V. Smith +3
The fluorine abundance of the Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor (CEMP) star HE 1305+0132 has been derived by analysis of the molecular HF (1-0) R9 line at 2.3357 microns in a high-resolut…
The Overdensity in Virgo, Sagittarius Debris, and the Asymmetric Spheroid
Heidi Jo Newberg, Brian Yanny, Nate Cole +4
We investigate the relationship between several previously identified Galactic halo stellar structures in the direction of Virgo using imaging and spectroscopic observations of F t…
