THE STELLAR DENSITY PROFILE OF THE DISTANT GALACTIC HALO
THE STELLAR DENSITY PROFILE OF THE DISTANT GALACTIC HALO
We use extensive gravity-sensitive DDO 51 photometry over 5100 square degrees, combined with SDSS broadband photometry, to select a catalog of $\sim 4,000$ giant stars covering a large fraction of the high Galactic latitude sky and reaching out to $\sim 80$ kpc in the Galactic halo. This sample of bright …
