We present an examination of the metallicity distribution function of the outermost stellar halo of the Galaxy based on an analysis of both local (within 4kpc of the Sun, ~16500...

We search for dynamical substructures in the LAMOST DR3 very metal-poor (VMP) star catalog. After cross-matching with Gaia DR2, there are ~3300 VMP stars with available...

We measured [Fe/H] and [{alpha}/Fe] using spectral synthesis of low-resolution stellar spectroscopy for 70 individual red-giant-branch stars across four fields spanning the...

In this work, we study the chemical compositions and kinematic properties of six metal-poor stars with [Fe/H]{<}-2.5 in the Galactic halo. From high-resolution (R~110000)...

We construct a large halo K-giant sample by combining the positions, distances, radial velocities, and metallicities of over 13000 LAMOST DR5 halo K giants with the Gaia DR2...

Based on the second Gaia data release and spectroscopy from the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope Data, we identified 20,089 halo stars kinematically and...

A new moderately r-process-enhanced metal-poor star, RAVEJ093730.5-062655, has been identified in the Milky Way halo as part of an ongoing survey by the R-Process Alliance. The...

There are many candidate sites of the r-process: core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe; including rare magnetorotational core-collapse supernovae), neutron star mergers (NSMs), and...

This paper presents the detailed abundances and r-process classifications of 125 newly identified metal-poor stars as part of an ongoing collaboration, the R-Process Alliance....

We present detailed chemical abundances of three new bright (V~11), extremely metal-poor ([Fe/H]~-3.0), r-process-enhanced halo red giants based on high-resolution, high-S/N...

The formation processes that led to the current Galactic stellar halo are still under debate. Previous studies have provided evidence for different stellar populations in terms...

From high resolution (R~=45000), high signal-to-noise ratio (S/N>400) spectra gathered with the Immersion Grating Infrared Spectrograph (IGRINS) in the H and K photometric...

We measure the three components of velocity dispersion, {sigma}R, {sigma}{theta}, {sigma}{phi}, for stars within 6<R<30kpc of the Milky Way using a new radial velocity...

We present an elemental-abundance analysis, in the near-ultraviolet (NUV) spectral range, for the bright carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars HD 196944 (V=8.40, [Fe/H]=-2.41)...

Wrapping around the Milky Way, the Sagittarius stream is the dominant substructure in the halo. Our statistical selection method has allowed us to identify 106 highly likely...

We revisit the observed frequencies of carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars as a function of the metallicity in the Galaxy, using data from the literature with available...

We have obtained a sample of ~22000 red giant branch (RGB) stars based on stellar parameters, provided by the ninth data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (Cat. V/139),...

We present an improved catalog of halo wide binaries compiled from an extensive literature search. Most of our binaries stem from the common proper motion binary catalogs by...

We present the first high-resolution spectroscopic study on the Orphan stream for five stream candidates, observed with the Magellan Inamori Kyocera Echelle spectrograph on the...

We present an online catalog of distance determinations for 6036 K giants, most of which are members of the Milky Way's stellar halo. Their medium-resolution spectra from the...
