THE SEGUE K GIANT SURVEY. II. A CATALOG OF DISTANCE DETERMINATIONS FOR THE SEGUE K GIANTS IN THE GALACTIC HALO

We present an online catalog of distance determinations for $\rm 6036$ K giants, most of which are members of the Milky Way's stellar halo. Their medium-resolution spectra from SDSS/SEGUE are used to derive metallicities and rough gravity estimates, along with radial velocities. Distance moduli are derived from a comparison of …
