Measuring Fundamental Galactic Parameters with Stellar Tidal Streams and SIM PlanetQuest
Steven R. Majewski, David R. Law, Allyson A. Polak +1
Extended halo tidal streams from disrupting Milky Way satellites offer new opportunities for gauging fundamental Galactic parameters without challenging observations of the Galacti…
Present and Future Astrometric Study of Halo Substructure
Steven R. Majewski, Allyson A. Polak, David R. Law +1
We focus on how astrometric surveys might be exploited for the study of Galactic halo substructure originating from the disruption of satellite systems. The Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf…
A Two Micron All-Sky Survey View of the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy: II. Swope Telescope Spectroscopy of M Giant Stars in the Dynamically Cold Sagittarius Tidal Stream
Steven R. Majewski, William E. Kunkel, David R. Law +10
We present moderate resolution (~6 km/s) spectroscopy of 284 M giant candidates selected from the Two Micron All Sky Survey photometry. Radial velocities (RVs) are presented for st…
Exploring Halo Substructure with Giant Stars III: First Results from the Grid Giant Star Survey and Discovery of a Possible Nearby Sagittarius Tidal Structure in Virgo
A. Kundu, S. R. Majewski, J. Rhee +14
We describe first results of a spectroscopic probe of selected fields from the Grid Giant Star Survey. Multifiber spectroscopy of several hundred stars in a strip of eleven fields…
