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…
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…
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey Quasar Catalog IV. Fifth Data Release
Donald P. Schneider, Patrick B. Hall, Gordon T. Richards +41
We present the fourth edition of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Quasar Catalog. The catalog contains 77,429 objects; this is an increase of over 30,000 entries since the previ…
Exploring the Variable Sky with the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Branimir Sesar, Zeljko Ivezic, Robert H. Lupton +29
We quantify the variability of faint unresolved optical sources using a catalog based on multiple SDSS imaging observations. The catalog covers SDSS Stripe 82, and contains 58 mill…
