The catalog results from a survey for distant Field K giants in the Galactic halo made for purposes of locating a chemically and kinematically unbiased sample out to about 25...

Understanding the assembly of our Galaxy requires us to also characterize the systems that helped build it. In this work, we accomplish this by exploring the chemistry of...

Stream stars removed by tides from their progenitor satellite galaxy or globular cluster act as a group of test particles on neighbouring orbits, probing the gravitational field...

The S2 stream is a kinematically cold stream that is plunging downwards through the Galactic disc. It may be part of a hotter and more diffuse structure called the Helmi stream....

The low-metallicity, kinematically interesting dwarf stars studied by Stephens & Boesgaard (2002AJ....123.1647S, SB02) are re-examined using Gaia DR2 astrometry, and updated...

Data from Gaia DR2 and The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment surveys revealed a relatively new component in the inner Galactic halo, which is likely the...

We exploit the [Mg/Mn]-[Al/Fe] chemical abundance plane to help identify nearby halo stars in the 14th data release from the APOGEE survey that have been accreted on to the...

We report the discovery of a Milky Way satellite in the constellation of Antlia. The Antlia 2 dwarf galaxy is located behind the Galactic disc at a latitude of b~11{deg} and...

A method to search for tidal streams and to fit their orbits based on maximum likelihood is presented and applied to the Gaia data. Tests of the method are performed showing how...

We report an analysis of the metal-rich tail ([Fe/H]>-0.75) of stars located at distances from the Galactic plane up to |z|~10kpc, observed by the Apache Point Observatory...

We study the effect of dynamical friction on globular clusters (GCs) and on the stars evaporated from the GCs (stellar streams) moving in the Galactic halo. Due to dynamical...

Using the data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and the Gaia satellite, we assemble a pure sample of ~3000 blue horizontal branch (BHB) stars with 7D information, including...

We use astrometry, broad-band photometry, and variability information from the Data Release 2 of ESA's Gaia mission (GDR2) to identify members of the Orphan Stream (OS) across...

Photoelectric UBV observations of 1782 stars are used to explore properties of the HK objective-prism survey conducted by Beers, Preston, and Shectman with the Curtis-Schmidt...

Reticon spectroscopy has been obtained for 224 high-latitude AB stars chosen from the Curtis Schmidt objective-prism survey of Preston and Schectamn. Additional spectra of...

Based on the Gaia DR2 catalog of hot subdwarf star candidates, we identified 1587 hot subdwarf stars with spectra in LAMOST DR7. We present atmospheric parameters for these...

In this paper, we report 591 high-velocity star candidates (HiVelSCs) selected from over 10 million spectra of Data Release 7 (DR7) of the Large Sky Area Multi-object Fiber...

We combine asteroseismology, optical high-resolution spectroscopy, and kinematic analysis for 26 halo red giant branch stars in the Kepler field in the range of...

We present high-resolution Magellan/MIKE spectra of 22 bright (9<V<13.5) metal-poor stars (-3.18<[Fe/H]{<}-1.37) in three different stellar streams, the Helmi debris...

We present a catalog of 531 white dwarf candidates that have large apparent transverse motions relative to the Sun (v_T_>200km/s), thus making them likely members of the...
