Stellar Halo Parameters from 4588 Subdwarfs
Using a reduced proper motion discriminator, I obtain a sample of 4588 subdwarfs from the Revised NLTT Catalog of Salim & Gould. The ample statistics and low contamination permit much more precise determinations of halo parameters than has previously been possible. The stellar halo is not moving with respect to the Local Standard of Rest (LSR) in either the vertical or radial direction, up to u...
متن کاملA Search for Cool Subdwarfs: Stellar Parameters for 134 Candidates
The results of a search for cool subdwarfs are presented. Kinematic (U, V, and W) and stellar parameters (Teff , log g, [Fe/H], and ξt) are derived for 134 candidate subdwarfs based on high resolution spectra. The observed stars span 4200K < Teff < 6400K and −2.70 < [Fe/H] < 0.25 including only 8 giants (log g < 4.0). Of the sample, 100 stars have MgH bands present in their spectra. The targets...
متن کاملFinding Cool Subdwarfs Using a V − J Reduced Proper-motion Diagram: Stellar Parameters for 91 Candidates
We present the results of a search for cool subdwarfs for which our candidates were drawn from a V − J reduced proper-motion diagram constructed by Salim & Gould (2002). Kinematic (U, V, and W) and self-consistent stellar parameters (Teff , log g, [Fe/H], and ξt) are derived for 91 candidate subdwarfs based on high resolution spectra. The observed stars span 3900K < Teff < 6200K and −2.63 < [Fe...
متن کاملCosmology and the Stellar Halo
If the favored hierarchical cosmological model is correct, then the Milky Way system should have accreted and subsequently tidally destroyed ∼ 100 low-mass galaxies in the past ∼ 12Gyr. We model this process using a hybrid semi-analytic plus N-body approach and show that the disrupted systems lead naturally to stellar halos with masses and density profiles much like the stellar halo of our own ...
متن کاملStellar Population Variations in the Milky Way’s Stellar Halo
If the stellar halos of disk galaxies are built up from the disruption of dwarf galaxies, models predict highly structured variations in the stellar populations within these halos. We test this prediction by studying the ratio of blue horizontal branch stars (BHB stars; more abundant in old, metal-poor populations) to main-sequence turn-off stars (MSTO stars; a feature of all populations) in th...
