The Field of Streams: Sagittarius and Its Siblings
- V. Belokurov, D. Zucker, R. Lupton
- Physics
- 24 April 2006
We use Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 5 (DR5) u, g, r, i, z photometry to study Milky Way halo substructure in the area around the north Galactic cap. A simple color cut (g - r < 0.4)…

- K. Abazajian, J. Adelman-McCarthy, D. Zucker
- Physics
- 26 May 2003
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has validated and made publicly available its First Data Release. This consists of 2099 deg2 of five-band (u, g, r, i, z) imaging data, 186,240 spectra of…
Cats and Dogs, Hair and a Hero: A Quintet of New Milky Way Companions
- V. Belokurov, D. Zucker, S. Snedden
- PhysicsAstrophysical Journal
- 21 August 2006
We present five new satellites of the Milky Way discovered in Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) imaging data, four of which were followed up with either the Subaru or the Isaac Newton Telescopes. They…
The Luminosity Function of the Milky Way Satellites
- Sergey E. Koposov, V. Belokurov, Russia.
- Physics
- 19 June 2007
We quantify the detectability of stellar Milky Way satellites in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 5. We show that the effective search volumes for the recently discovered SDSS…
