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

Substructure in bulk velocities of Milky Way disk stars

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

The First Hypervelocity Star from the LAMOST Survey

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.
