Constraining the Milky Way's Ultraviolet to Infrared SED with Gaussian Process Regression
Catherine E. Fielder, Jeffrey A. Newman, Brett H. Andrews +5
Improving our knowledge of global Milky Way (MW) properties is critical for connecting the detailed measurements only possible from within our Galaxy to our understanding of the br…
Preliminary Target Selection for the DESI Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) Sample
Rongpu Zhou, Jeffrey A. Newman, Kyle S. Dawson +23
The DESI survey will observe more than 8 million candidate luminous red galaxies (LRGs) in the redshift range . Here we present a preliminary version of the DESI LRG tar…
Milky Way Analogues in MaNGA: Multi-Parameter Homogeneity and Comparison to the Milky Way
Nicholas Fraser Boardman, Gail Zasowski, Anil Seth +15
The Milky Way provides an ideal laboratory to test our understanding of galaxy evolution, owing to our ability to observe our Galaxy over fine scales. However, connecting the Galax…
Predictably Missing Satellites: Subhalo Abundance in Milky Way-like Halos
Catherine E. Fielder, Yao-Yuan Mao, Jeffrey A. Newman +2
On small scales there have been a number of claims of discrepancies between the standard Cold Dark Matter (CDM) model and observations. The 'missing satellites problem' infamously…
Does the Milky Way Obey Spiral Galaxy Scaling Relations?
Timothy C. Licquia, Jeffrey A. Newman, Matthew A. Bershady
It is crucial to understand how the Milky Way, the galaxy we can study in the most intimate detail, fits in amongst other galaxies. Key examples include the Tully-Fisher relation (…
Sizing Up the Milky Way: A Bayesian Mixture Model Meta-Analysis of Photometric Scale Length Measurements
Timothy C. Licquia, Jeffrey A. Newman
The exponential scale length () of the Milky Way's (MW's) disk is a critical parameter for describing the global physical size of our Galaxy, important both for interpreting o…
The SDSS-IV extended Baryonic Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: Luminous Red Galaxy Target Selection
Abhishek Prakash, Timothy C. Licquia, Jeffrey A. Newman +26
We describe the algorithm used to select the Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) sample for the extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV (S…
Unveiling the Milky Way: A New Technique for Determining the Optical Color and Luminosity of our Galaxy
Timothy C. Licquia, Jeffrey A. Newman, Jarle Brinchmann
We demonstrate a new statistical method of determining the global photometric properties of the Milky Way (MW) to an unprecedented degree of accuracy, allowing our Galaxy to be com…
Luminous Red Galaxies: Selection and classification by combining optical and infrared photometry
Abhishek Prakash, Timothy C. Licquia, Jeffrey A. Newman +1
We describe a new method of combining optical and infrared photometry to select Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) at redshifts . We explore this technique using a combination o…
Improved Estimates of the Milky Way's Stellar Mass and Star Formation Rate from Hierarchical Bayesian Meta-Analysis
Timothy C. Licquia, Jeffrey A. Newman
We present improved estimates of several global properties of the Milky Way, including its current star formation rate (SFR), the stellar mass contained in its disk and bulge+bar c…
