Low-Velocity Halo Clouds
Models that reproduce the observed high-velocity clouds (HVCs) also predict clouds at lower radial velocities that may easily be confused with Galactic disk (|z| < 1 kpc) gas. We describe the first search for these low-velocity halo clouds (LVHCs) using IRAS data and the initial data from the Galactic Arecibo L-band Feed Array survey in Hi (GALFA-Hi). The technique is based upon the expectation...
متن کاملTwo Distant Halo Velocity Groups Discovered by the Palomar Transient Factory
We report the discovery of two new halo velocity groups (Cancer groups A and B) traced by 8 distant RR Lyrae stars and observed by the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) survey at R.A ∼ 129, Dec ∼ 20 (l ∼ 205, b ∼ 32). Located at 92 kpc from the Galactic center (86 kpc from the Sun), these are some of the most distant substructures in the Galactic halo known to date. Follow-up spectroscopic observ...
متن کاملThe Tilt of the Halo Velocity Ellipsoid and the Shape of the Milky Way Halo
A sample of ∼1,800 halo subdwarf stars with radial velocities and proper motions is assembled from Bramich et al.’s (2007) light-motion catalog. This is based on the repeated multi-band Sloan Digital Sky Survey photometric measurements in Stripe 82. Our sample of halo subdwarfs is extracted via a reduced proper motion diagram and distances are obtained using photometric parallaxes, thus giving ...
متن کاملGalaxy Groups in the Sdss Dr4: Ii. Halo Occupation Statistics
We investigate various galaxy occupation statistics of dark matter halos using a large galaxy group catalogue constructed from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 4 (SDSS DR4) with an adaptive halo-based group finder. The conditional luminosity function (CLF), which describes the luminosity distribution of galaxies in halos of a given mass, is measured separately for all, red and blue gal...
متن کاملGalaxy clusters in the Perseus – Pisces region — II . The peculiar velocity field
We have measured the mean peculiar motions of 103 early-type galaxies in 7 clusters in the Perseus–Pisces (PP) ridge or PP background, and a further 249 such galaxies in 9 calibrating clusters from the literature, using the inverse Fundamental Plane relation. This relation is found to have a distance error of 20% per galaxy. None of the 6 clusters in the PP ridge has a significant motion with r...
