The peculiar in-plane velocities in the outer disc of the Milky Way
Hai-Jun Tian, Chao Liu, Jun-Chen Wan +9
We present the peculiar in-plane velocities derived from the LAMOST red clump stars, which are purified and separated by a novel approach into two groups with different ages. The s…
Mapping the Milky Way with LAMOST II: the stellar halo

The local spiral arm in the LAMOST-Gaia common stars?
Chao Liu, You-Gang Wang, Juntai Shen +7
Using the LAMOST-Gaia common stars, we demonstrate that the in-plane velocity field for the nearby young stars are significantly different from that for the old ones. For the young…
A sample of metal-poor galaxies identified from the LAMOST spectral survey
Yulong Gao, Jianhui Lian, Xu Kong +8
We present a sample of 48 metal-poor galaxies at selected from 92,510 galaxies in the LAMOST survey. These galaxies are identified for their detection of the auroral em…
Mapping the Milky Way with LAMOST I: Method and overview
Chao Liu, Yan Xu, Jun-Chen Wan +8
We present a statistical method to derive the stellar density profiles of the Milky Way from spectroscopic survey data, taking into account selection effects. We assume that the se…
Kinematics of the Galactic disk from LAMOST Dwarf sample
Yingjie Jing, Cuihua Du, Jiayin Gu +10
Based on the LAMOST survey and Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), we use low-resolution spectra of 130,043 F/G-type dwarf stars to study the kinematics and metallicity properties of…
New tidal debris nearby the Sagittarius leading tail from the LAMOST DR2 M giant stars
Jing Li, Chao Liu, Jeffrey L. Carlin +7
We report two new tidal debris nearby the Sagittarius (Sgr) tidal stream in the north Galactic cap identified from the M giant stars in LAMOST DR2 data. The M giant stars with sky…
The peculiar velocities in the Galactic outer disk--hints of the elliptical disk and the perturbation of the spiral structures
Hai-Jun Tian, Chao Liu, Jun-Chen Wan +7
We present the peculiar in-plane velocities derived from the LAMOST red clump stars. From the variations of the in-plane velocity with the Galactocentric radius for the young and o…
Characterizing the SHARDS of Disrupted Milky Way Satellites with LAMOST
Jeffrey L. Carlin, Chao Liu, Heidi Jo Newberg +7
We derive the fraction of substructure in the Galactic halo using a sample of over 10,000 spectroscopically-confirmed halo giant stars from the LAMOST spectroscopic survey. By obse…
LAMOST 1: A Disrupted Satellite in the Constellation Draco
John J. Vickers, Martin C. Smith, Yonghui Hou +2
Using LAMOST spectroscopic data, we find a strong signal of a comoving group of stars in the constellation of Draco. The group, observed near the apocenter of its orbit, is 2.6 kpc…
A sample of galaxy pairs identified from the LAMOST spectral survey and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey
Shiyin Shen, M. Argudo-Fernández, Li Chen +23
A small fraction() of SDSS main sample galaxies(MGs) have not been targeted with spectroscopy due to the the fiber collision effect. These galaxies have been compiled into t…
Determining the local dark matter density with LAMOST data
Qiran Xia, Chao Liu, Shude Mao +7
Measurement of the local dark matter density plays an important role in both Galactic dynamics and dark matter direct detection experiments. However, the estimated values from prev…
19 low mass hyper-velocity star candidates from the first data release of LAMOST survey
Yin-bi Li, A-Li Luo, Gang Zhao +12
Hyper-velocity stars are believed to be ejected out from the Galactic center through dynamical interactions between (binary) stars and the central massive black hole(s). In this pa…
