The Milky Way Bulge Extra-Tidal Star Survey: NGC 6569
Joanne Hughes, Andrea Kunder, Kevin Covey +25
We present spectroscopic evidence for tidal debris associated with the bulge globular cluster NGC 6569, based on medium-resolution (R ~ 11,000) Anglo-Australian Telescope spectra o…

The Galactic Bulge exploration VI.: Gaia Enceladus/Sausage RR Lyrae stars in the inner-central stellar halo of the Milky Way
Andrea Kunder, Zdenek Prudil, Antonela Monachesi +6
We present a view of the stellar halo in the inner-central regions of the Milky Way (R <~ 10 kpc) mapped by RR Lyrae stars. The combined BRAVA-RR/APOGEE RR Lyrae catalog is used to…

The Galactic Bulge exploration III.: Calcium Triplet Metallicities for RR Lyrae Stars
Andrea Kunder, Zdenek Prudil, Claire Skaggs +5
RR Lyrae stars are excellent tracers of stellar populations for old, metal-poor components in the Milky Way Galaxy and the Local Group. Their luminosities have a metallicity-depend…
