SEGUE-2 and APOGEE: Revealing the History of the Milky Way (2009)
Rockosi, Constance, Beers, Timothy C., Majewski, Steven, Schiavon, Ricardo, Eisenstein, Daniel
The history of the Milky Way is encoded in the spatial distributions, kinematics, and chemical enrichment patterns of its resolved stellar populations. SEGUE-2 and APOGEE, two of the four surveys...
SEGUE: A Spectroscopic Survey of 240,000 stars with g=14-20 (2009)
Rockosi, Constance, Newberg, Heidi Jo, Knapp, Gillian R.
The SEGUE survey obtained 240,000 moderate resolution (R = 1800) spectra from 3900 - 9000 Angstroms of fainter Milky Way stars (14.0 < g < 20.3) of a wide variety of spectral types, both main...

Cosmological constraints from the SDSS luminous red galaxies (2006)
Tegmark, Max, Eisenstein, Daniel J., Strauss, Michael A., Weinberg, David H., Blanton, Michael R., Frieman, Joshua A., ...
We measure the large-scale real-space power spectrum P(k) using luminous red galaxies (LRGs) in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and use this measurement to sharpen constraints on cosmological...

The Metallicity Distribution Function of the Halo of the Milky Way (2005)
Beers, Timothy C., Christlieb, Norbert, Norris, John E., Bessell, Michael S., Wilhelm, Ronald, Prieto, Carlos Allende, ...
We report on the distribution of metallicities, [Fe/H], for very metal-poor stars in the halo of the Galaxy. Although the primary information on the nature of the Metallicity Distribution Function...
