Mapping low-latitude stellar substructure with SEGUE photometry
Encircling the Milky Way at low latitudes, the Low Latitude Stream is a large stellar structure, the origin of which is as yet unknown. As part of the SEGUE survey, several photometric scans have been obtained that cross the Galactic plane, spread over a longitude range of 50◦ to 203◦. These data allow a systematic study of the structure of the Galaxy at low latitudes, where the Low Latitude St...
متن کاملThe SEGUE Stellar Parameter Pipeline . III . Comparison with High - Resolution Spectroscopy of SDSS / SEGUE Field Stars
We report high-resolution spectroscopy of 125 field stars previously observed as part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and its program for Galactic studies, the Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Exploration (SEGUE). These spectra are used to measure radial velocities and to derive atmospheric parameters, which we compare with those reported by the SEGUE Stellar Parameter Pipeline (S...
متن کاملWFPC2 Stellar Photometry with HSTphot
HSTphot, a photometry package designed to handle the undersampled PSFs found in WFPC2 images, is introduced and described, as well as some of the considerations that have to be made in order to obtain accurate PSF-fitting stellar photometry with WFPC2 data. Tests of HSTphot’s internal reliability are made using multiple observations of the same field, and tests of external reliability are made ...
متن کاملStellar Photometry with CCD Sub - Pixel SensitivityVariationsA
The variation of sensitivity within a pixel of a CCD can be substantial and also substantially the same for each pixel of the CCD. Variations of the order of 10%, now being found for CCDs, can lead to errors in stellar photometry on the order of a few percent, dependent on the size of the stellar image and the position of its center within the pixel. An enhanced version of Starman, a proole tti...
متن کاملEstimation of stellar atmospheric parameters from SDSS/SEGUE spectra
We present techniques for the estimation of stellar atmospheric parameters (Teff , log g, [Fe/H]) for stars from the SDSS/SEGUE survey. The atmospheric parameters are derived from the observed medium-resolution (R = 2000) stellar spectra using non-linear regression models trained either on (1) pre-classified observed data or (2) synthetic stellar spectra. In the first case we use our models to ...
