APOGEE: The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment
C. Allende Prieto, S. R. Majewski, R. Schiavon +8
APOGEE is a large-scale, NIR, high-resolution (R~20,000) spectroscopic survey of Galactic stars. It is one of the four experiments in SDSS-III. Because APOGEE will observe in the H…
The ghost of a dwarf galaxy: fossils of the hierarchical formation of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 5907
David Martinez-Delgado, Jorge Penarrubia, R. Jay Gabany +3
We present an extragalactic perspective of an extended stellar tidal stream wrapping around the edge-on, spiral galaxy NGC 5907. Our deep images reveal for the first time a large s…
Open Clusters as Galactic Disk Tracers: I. Project Motivation, Cluster Membership and Bulk Three-Dimensional Kinematics
Peter M. Frinchaboy, Steven R. Majewski
We have begun a survey of the chemical and dynamical properties of the Milky Way disk as traced by open star clusters. In this first contribution, the general goals of our survey a…
Kinematics of Stars in Kapteyn Selected Area 71: Sampling the Monoceros and Sagittarius Tidal Streams
Dana I. Casetti-Dinescu, Jeffrey L. Carlin, Terrence M. Girard +3
We present a 3D kinematical analysis of stars located in Kapteyn Selected Area 71 (l = 167.1, b = -34.7), where previously a stellar excess was found (Dinescu et al. 2002, Newberg…
Discovery of a Giant Stellar Tidal Stream Around the Disk Galaxy NGC 4013
David Martinez-Delgado, Michael Pohlen, R. Jay Gabany +3
We report the discovery of a giant, loop-like stellar structure around the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 4013. This arcing feature extends 6 arcmin (~26 kpc in projected distance) nort…
