Wilkinson,N. Cole,Brian Yanny,C. M. Rockosi,Timothy C. Beers,Eric F. Bell,J. Brinkmann,Željko Ivezić,Robert H. Lupton +20 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple color cut (g - r < 0.4) reveals the tidal stream of the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy, as well as a number of other stellar structures in the field.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Milky Way's Circular Velocity Curve to 60 kpc and an Estimate of the Dark Matter Halo Mass from Kinematics of ~2400 SDSS Blue Horizontal Branch Stars
Xiang-Xiang Xue,H. W. Rix,Gang Zhao,P. Re Fiorentin,Thorsten Naab,Matthias Steinmetz,F. C. van den Bosch,Timothy C. Beers,Y. S. Lee,Eric F. Bell,C. M. Rockosi,B. Yanny,Heidi Jo Newberg,R. Wilhelm,Xi Kang,Matthew Smith,D. P. Schneider +16 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived new constraints on the mass of the Milky Way's dark matter halo, based on a set of halo stars from SDSS as kinematic tracers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the discovery of two well-defined tidal tails emerging from the sparse remote globular cluster Palomar 5 was reported, which make up a substantial part of the current total population of cluster stars in the magnitude interval 19.5 < i* < 22.0.

TL;DR: The Sloan Digital Sky Survey data acquisition and processing steps are summarized, and runQA, a pipeline designed for automated data quality assessment, is described, showing how the position of the stellar locus in color-color diagrams can be used to estimate the accuracy of photometric zeropoint calibration to better than 0.01 mag.
