High-metallicity M giant candidates from SDSS

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

Tidal stripping and three-body interactions with the central supermassive black hole may eject stars from the Milky Way.

Description

These stars would comprise a set of "intragroup" stars (IGS) that trace the past history of interactions in our galactic neighborhood. Using the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) DR7 (Cat.

II/294, superseded by Cat. V/139), we identify candidate solar-metallicity red giant intragroup stars using color cuts that are designed to exclude nearby M and L dwarfs. We present 677 intragroup candidates that are selected between 300kpc and 2Mpc, and are either the reddest intragroup candidates (M7-M10) or are L dwarfs at larger distances than previously detected.
