Exploring the Local Milky Way: M Dwarfs as Tracers of Galactic Populations

Exploring the Local Milky Way: M Dwarfs as Tracers of Galactic Populations

We have assembled a spectroscopic sample of low-mass dwarfs observed as part of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey along one Galactic sight line, designed to investigate the observable properties of the thin and thick disks. This sample of ∼7400 K and M stars also has measured ugriz photometry, proper motions, …
