SDSS-DR14 and LAMOST DR6 spectra in GD-1 stream

DOI

Combining data from Gaia DR2, SDSS DR14, and LAMOST DR6, we update the fit to model of the properties of the stellar stream GD-1 and find that it has an age of ~13Gyr, [Fe/H] of -2.2+/-0.12, and a distance from the Sun of ~8kpc. We tabulate six-dimensional (6D) phase-space fiducial points along the GD-1 stream orbit over a 90{deg} arc. The fitted orbit shows that the stream has an eccentricity e~0.3, perigalacticon of 14.2kpc, apogalacticon of 27.0kpc, and inclination i~40{deg}. There is evidence along the arc for four candidate stellar overdensities, one candidate gap, two candidate stellar underdensities, and that the stream is cut off at {phi}1~2{deg} (in the stream-aligned ({phi}1, {phi}2) coordinate system of Koposov+ 2010ApJ...712..260K). The spur originating at {phi}1~-40{deg} implies stars were pulled away from the stream trace by an encounter (potentially a dark matter subhalo). The narrowest place (FWHM~44.6pc) of the GD-1 trace is at ({phi}1, {phi}2^c^)~(-14{deg}, 0.15{deg}), which is ~(178.18{deg}, 52.19{deg}) in (RA, DE), where the progenitor is possibly located. We also find six blue horizontal branch and 10 blue stragglers spectroscopic stars in the GD-1 stream.
