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…

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…

Two Stellar Components in the Halo of the Milky Way

D. Carollo, T. C. Beers, Y. S. Lee +9

The halo of the Milky Way provides unique elemental abundance and kinematic information on the first objects to form in the Universe, which can be used to tightly constrain models…

Estimation of stellar atmospheric parameters from SDSS/SEGUE spectra

P. Re Fiorentin, C. A. L. Bailer-Jones, Y. S. Lee +5

We present techniques for the estimation of stellar atmospheric parameters (Teff,logg,[Fe/H]) for stars from the SDSS/SEGUE survey. The atmospheric parameters are derived from the…

Structure in the motions of the fastest halo stars

P. ReFiorentin, A. Helmi, M. G. Lattanzi +1

We have analyzed the catalog of 2106 non-kinematically selected metal poor stars in the solar neighborhood published by Beers et al. (2000), with the goal of quantifying the amount…
