Precision distances to dwarf galaxies and globular clusters from Pan-STARRS1 3 RR Lyrae
Nina Hernitschek, Judith G. Cohen, Hans-Walter Rix +6
We present new spatial models and distance estimates for globular clusters (GC) and dwarf spheroidals (dSphs) orbiting our Galaxy based on RR Lyrae (RRab) stars in the Pan-STARRS1…
Connecting the Milky Way potential profile to the orbital timescales and spatial structure of the Sagittarius Stream
Mark A. Fardal, Roeland P. van der Marel, David R. Law +4
Recent maps of the halo using RR Lyrae from Pan-STARRS1 have clearly depicted the spatial structure of the Sagittarius stream. These maps show the leading and trailing stream apoce…
The Profile of the Galactic Halo from Pan-STARRS1 3 RR Lyrae
Nina Hernitschek, Judith G. Cohen, Hans-Walter Rix +11
We characterize the spatial density of the Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) sample of RR Lyrae stars, to study the properties of the old Galactic stellar halo as traced by RRab stars. This sample…
