Chemodynamical Ages of Small-Scale Kinematic Structures of the Galactic Disc in the Solar Neighborhood from ~250,000 K and M Dwarfs

Ilija Medan, Sébastien Lépine

We combine photometric metallicities with astrometry from Gaia DR3 to examine the chemodynamic structure of ~250,000 K dwarfs in the Solar Neighborhood (SN). In kinematics, we obse…

Stars in the Local Galactic Thick Disk and Halo in Gaia EDR3: A catalogue of Half a Million Local Main-sequence Stars with Photometric Metallicities

Bokyoung Kim, Sebastien Lépine

We present a catalogue of 551,214 main-sequence stars in the local ( kpc) Galactic thick disk and halo, based on a search of stars with large proper motions ($μ_{\mathrm{tot…

The Local Stellar Halo is Not Dominated by a Single Radial Merger Event

Thomas Donlon, Heidi Jo Newberg, Bokyoung Kim +1

We use halo dwarf stars with photometrically determined metallicities that are located within 2 kpc of the Sun to identify local halo substructure. The kinematic properties of thes…

Estimation of distances to stars with stellar parameters from LAMOST

Jeffrey L. Carlin, Chao Liu, Heidi Jo Newberg +15

We present a method to estimate distances to stars with spectroscopically derived stellar parameters. The technique is a Bayesian approach with likelihood estimated via comparison…

Fixing the Reference Frame for PPMXL Proper Motions Using Extragalactic Sources

Kathleen Grabowski, Jeffrey L. Carlin, Heidi Jo Newberg +14

We quantify and correct systematic errors in PPMXL proper motions using extragalactic sources from the first two LAMOST data releases and the Veron-Cetty & Veron Catalog of Quasars…

The First Hypervelocity Star from the LAMOST Survey

Zheng Zheng, Jeffrey L. Carlin, Timothy C. Beers +10

We report the first hypervelocity star (HVS) discovered from the LAMOST spectroscopic survey. It is a B-type star with a heliocentric radial velocity about 620 km/s, which projects…
