Blue HB stars in SDSS J/AJ/127/899 ivo://CDS.VizieR/J/AJ/127/899 doi:10.26093/cds/vizier.51270899 CDS Sirko E. Goodman J. Knapp G.R. Brinkmann J. Ivezic Z. Knerr E.J.,Schlegel D. Schneider D.P. York D.G. 2023-04-06T16:51:06Z 2005-12-18T22:00:00Z CDS support team CDS, Observatoire de Strasbourg, 11 rue de l'Universite, F-67000 Strasbourg, France cds-question@unistra.fr horizontal-branch-stars visible-astronomy sloan-photometry We isolate samples of 733 bright (g<18) and 437 faint (g>18) high Galactic latitude blue horizontal-branch stars with photometry and spectroscopy in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). Comparison of independent photometric and spectroscopic selection criteria indicates that contamination from F and blue straggler stars is less than 10% for bright stars (g<18) and about 25% for faint stars (g>18), and this is qualitatively confirmed by proper motions based on the USNO-A (<I/252>) catalog as first epoch. Analysis of repeated observations shows that the errors in radial velocity are ~26km/s. A relation between absolute magnitude and color is established using the horizontal branches of halo globular clusters observed by SDSS. Bolometric corrections and colors are synthesized in the SDSS filters from model spectra. The redder stars agree well in absolute magnitude with accepted values for RR Lyrae stars. The resulting photometric distances are accurate to about 0.2mag, with a median of about 25kpc. Modest clumps in phase space exist and are consistent with the previously reported tidal stream of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy. 2004AJ....127..899S https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/AJ/127/899 Catalog Research IsServedBy TAP VizieR generic service IsServedBy Conesearch service related-to I/252 : The USNO-A2.0 Catalogue (Monet+ 1998) J/AJ/123/567 : SDSS quasar catalog, I: Early Data Release (Schneider+, 2002) J/AJ/126/2579 : SDSS quasar catalog.
