Structure and Kinematics of the Stellar Halos and Thick Disks of the Milky Way Based on Calibration Stars from SDSS DR7
Daniela Carollo, Timothy C. Beers, Masashi Chiba +6
The structure and kinematics of the recognized stellar components of the Milky Way are explored, based on well-determined atmospheric parameters and kinematic quantities for 32360…
Intracluster Light in the Virgo Cluster: Large Scale Distribution
Nieves Castro-Rodriguez, Magda Arnaboldi, J. Alfonso L. Aguerri +4
The intracluster light (ICL) is a faint diffuse stellar component in clusters made of stars not bound to individual galaxies. We have carried out a large scale study of this compon…
RAVE spectroscopy of luminous blue variables in the Large Magellanic Cloud
U. Munari, A. Siviero, O. Bienaymé +19
CONTEXT: The RAVE spectroscopic survey for galactic structure and evolution obtains 8400-8800 Ang spectra at 7500 resolving power at the UK Schmidt Telescope using the 6dF multi-fi…
The ACS Nearby Galaxy Survey Treasury
Julianne J. Dalcanton, Benjamin F. Williams, Anil C. Seth +24
The ACS Nearby Galaxy Survey Treasury (ANGST) is a systematic survey to establish a legacy of uniform multi-color photometry of resolved stars for a volume-limited sample of nearby…
The edge of the M87 halo and the kinematics of the diffuse light in the Virgo cluster core
Michelle Doherty, Magda Arnaboldi, Payel Das +7
We present high resolution FLAMES/VLT spectroscopy of intracluster planetary nebula (ICPN) candidates, targeting three new fields in the Virgo cluster core with surface brightness…
Is the Milky Way ringing? The hunt for high velocity streams
I. Minchev, A. C. Quillen, M. Williams +4
We perform numerical simulations of a stellar galactic disk with initial conditions chosen to represent an unrelaxed population which might have been left following a merger. Stars…
Mapping the Galactic Halo VIII: Quantifying substructure
Else Starkenburg, Amina Helmi, Heather L. Morrison +11
We have measured the amount of kinematic substructure in the Galactic halo using the final data set from the Spaghetti project, a pencil-beam high latitude sky survey. Our sample c…
The MACHO Project HST Follow-Up: The Large Magellanic Cloud Microlensing Source Stars
C. A. Nelson, A. J. Drake, K. H. Cook +21
We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) WFPC2 photometry of 13 microlensed source stars from the 5.7 year Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) survey conducted by the MACHO Project. The mi…
