The Milky Way Tomography with SDSS: III. Stellar Kinematics

N. A. Bond, Z. Ivezic, B. Sesar +2

We study Milky Way kinematics using a sample of 18.8 million main-sequence stars with r<20 and proper-motion measurements derived from SDSS and POSS astrometry, including ~170,000…

SEGUE: A Spectroscopic Survey of 240,000 stars with g=14-20

II SEGUE Collaboration, Brian Yanny, Constance Rockosi +2

The SEGUE survey obtained 240,000 moderate resolution (R = 1800) spectra from 3900 - 9000 Angstroms of fainter Milky Way stars (14.0 < g < 20.3) of a wide variety of spectral types…

X-ray Insights into the Nature of Weak Emission-Line Quasars at High Redshift

Ohad Shemmer, W. N. Brandt, Scott F. Anderson +5

We present Chandra observations of nine high-redshift quasars (z=2.7-5.9) discovered by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey with weak or undetectable high-ionization emission lines in the…

X-Ray Insights Into the Physics of Mini-BAL Quasar Outflows

Robert R. Gibson, W. N. Brandt, S. C. Gallagher +1

We examine the UV and X-ray properties of 256 radio-quiet SDSS quasars (QSOs) observed in X-rays with Chandra and/or XMM-Newton in order to study the relationship between QSOs with…
