Tidal Debris of the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal

This webpage is intended to serve as a companion resource to the discoveries recently presented by Majewski and collaborators in the following suite of 6 papers:

A 2MASS All-Sky View of the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy
• Paper I: Morphology of the Sgr Core and Tidal Arms (Majewski et al. 2003, ApJ, 599, 1082)
• Paper II: Swope Telescope Spectroscopy of M Giant Stars in the Dynamically Cold Sagittarius Tidal Stream (Majewski et al. 2004a, ApJ, 128, 245)
• Paper III: Constraints on the Flattening of the Galactic Halo (Johnston, Law, & Majewski 2004, ApJ Submitted, astro-ph/)
• Paper IV: Modeling the Sagittarius Tidal Tails (Law, Johnston, & Majewski 2004, ApJ Submitted, astro-ph/)
• Paper V: Radial Velocities of Leading Debris (Majewski et al. 2004b, in preparation)
• Paper VI: Globular Cluster Associations (Majewski et al. 2004c, in preparation)

The following resources may be of interest to those who are interested in studying the Sgr dwarf and its tidal streams. These are all the work of David R. Law.:

• A description of the Sgr longitudinal coordinate system (Paper I).
• C++ code to convert from Galactic coordinates into the Sgr coordinate system.
• Full spatial data for the best fit Sgr models (Paper IV).
• 3D "flyaround" movie of the best fit Sgr models.
