Exploring asymmetric substructures of the outer disk based on the conjugate angle of the radial action
Y. Xu, C. Liu, Z. Li +5
We use the conjugate angle of radial action (), the best representation of the orbital phase, to explore the "mid-plane, north branch, south branch" and "Monoceros area" disk…
Probing the Galactic halo with RR Lyrae stars III. The chemical and kinematic properties of the stellar halo
Gaochao Liu, Yang Huang, Sarah Ann Bird +3
Based on a large spectroscopic sample of 4,300 RR Lyrae stars with metallicity, systemic radial velocity and distance measurements, we present a detailed analysis of the che…
Detection of the LMC-induced sloshing of the Galactic halo
Denis Erkal, Alis J. Deason, Vasily Belokurov +8
A wealth of recent studies have shown that the LMC is likely massive, with a halo mass . One consequence of having such a nearby and massive neighbour is that the…
The Rotation Curve, Mass Distribution and Dark Matter Content of the Milky Way from Classical Cepheids
Iminhaji Ablimit, Gang Zhao, Chris Flynn +1
With the increasing numbers of large stellar survey projects, the quality and quantity of excellent tracers to study the Milky Way is rapidly growing, one of which is the classical…
Anisotropy of the Milky Way's stellar halo using K giants from LAMOST and
Sarah A. Bird, Xiang-Xiang Xue, Chao Liu +3
The anisotropy parameter characterizes the extent to which orbits in stellar systems are predominantly radial or tangential, and is likely to constrain, for the stellar halo of…
Fading Features Found in the Kinematics of the Far-Reaching Milky Way Stellar Halo
Sarah A. Bird, Chris Flynn
We test the long-term kinematical stability of a Galactic stellar halo model, due to Kafle, et al. (2012), who study the kinematics of approximately 5000 blue horizontal branch (BH…
