Sloan Digital Sky SurveyGoals:1. Image ¼ of sky in 5 bands2. Measure parameters of objects on images3. Obtain redshifts of 1 million galaxies4. Obtain redshifts of 100,000 quasars
Technique:1. Construct a 2.5 m telescope with
CCD array imager, 640-fiber spectrographat Apache Point, New Mexico
2. Operate for 5 years

Why “digital”?
Previous surveys use photographic plates (e.g.Palomar sky survey POSS)
• cheapest large-area detector for visible photons
• plate scanner needed to digitise
But CCD is current state of the art for astronomy
• more linear, more sensitive, easier calibrated
• digital data processing and archiving
• “data mining” across multiple astronomical databases

The Galaxy Power Spectrum P(k)
The power spectrum P(k) measures the strengthof clustering on different scales (wavenumber k)Essentially the square of the Fourier transform ofthe galaxy density distributionWant as large and as 3D a survey as possible tominimize survey window function effects andmaximize ability to measure power spectrum onthe largest scalesShape and amplitude of P(k) constrains structureformation and evolution models and cosmology

Conclusions1. One sixth of a ring of stars which might encircle the Milky
Way has been detected in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.The ring is 18 kpc from the Galactic Center.
2. The stars are rotating at about 1/2 the disk velocity at thesolar position.
3. We detect 2 x 107 M8 in stars, and project that there could be5 x 108 M8 in stars in the whole ring (comparable to theSMC).
4. The kinematics of the stars are inconsistent with halo/thickdisk populations of stars, with velocity dispersion 27 km/s.
5. The distribution (scale height above and below the plane) isinconsistent with thin disk/spiral arm populations.
6. The ring may be a galaxy companion to the Milky Waywhich was tidally disrupted into a ring.

Conclusions:The fact that the F stars from the tidal tails of the Sgr dwarf are
spread over such a large area ’perpendicular’ to their orbit, suggestsprecession in a flattened potential, q = 0.75.
There is possibly another tidal stream orbiting like a ring atd = 20 kpc from the Galactic center at inclination < 20 degreeswhich may also yield interesting information on the potentialof the Milky Way’s halo.
At least one stream has been seen around M31and there are polar ring galaxies which can also yield interesting
facts about the implied shape of the dark matter surrounding apparently all the light.

Components of the Milky Way:
Bulge -- at center of Galaxy, metal rich stars, flattened (peanut-shape)Thin Disk -- h = 0.3 kpc, l = 3.5 kpc metal rich stars (incl. Sun)Thick Disk -- h = 0.6 kpc, l =2.5 kpc, medium old metal poor stars’Spheroid’ -- flattened c/a = 0.8, old metal poor starsMetal Weak Thick Disk? Existence unclear, h = 2kpc, l = 8 kpcandStreams: Sagittarius, Monoceros?, others, metal poor generally
Gas, Dust, White Dwarfs, Neutron stars, (Quark stars??), Black Holes,all small in mass compared to DARK MATTER of unknown nature.
Separation of components is both Kinematics (rotating or not, flattened or not)
and in Stellar Populations (metalicity of stars).
