Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of the Sagittarius dwarf tidal stream on dark matter detectors.
TL;DR: The Sagittarius dwarf tidal stream may be showering dark matter onto the solar neighborhood, which can change the results and interpretation of direct detection searches for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs).
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that stars near the anticenter exhibit velocity asymmetries in both the Galactocentric radial and vertical components across the midplane as well as azimuthally.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: SDSS J134646.45-003150.4 (hereafter SDSS 1346-00) as mentioned in this paper was selected because of its very red color and stellar appearance and its spectrum between 0.8 and 2.5 µm is dominated by strong absorption bands of H2O and CH4.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used LAMOST spectroscopic velocities for a sample of ~400,000 F-type stars, combined with proper motions from the PPMXL catalog for which they have derived corrections to the zero points based in part on spectroscopically discovered galaxies and QSOs from LAME.

TL;DR: The first hypervelocity star (HVS) discovered from the LAMOST spectroscopic survey was reported in this paper, which is a B-type star with a heliocentric radial velocity of about 620 km s^(−1), which projects to a Galactocentric radii component of ~477 km s−1.
