Metal-poor MS turnoff stars summary
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We identify 10 -- seven for the first time -- elements of cold halo substructure (ECHOS) in the volume within 17.5kpc of the Sun in the inner halo of the Milky Way.
Description
Our result is based on the observed spatial and radial velocity distribution of metal-poor main-sequence turnoff (MPMSTO) stars in 137 Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Exploration lines of sight. We show that all of our detections are statistically significant and that we expect no false positives.
These ECHOS represent the observable stellar debris of ancient merger events in the stellar accretion history of the Milky Way, and we use our detections and completeness estimates to infer a formal upper limit of 0.34^+0.02^_-0.02_ on the fraction of the MPMSTO population in the inner halo that belong to ECHOS.
