SEGUE data for Bovy et al. (2012, 2013) mono-abundance populations papers

<p>This is the SEGUE data used in the Bovy et al. (2012, 2013) papers on the decomposition of the Milky Way disk in terms of mono-abundance stellar populations:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2012ApJ...753..148B">The Spatial Structure of Mono-abundance Sub-populations of the Milky Way Disk</a>, Bovy, Rix, Liu, et al. (2012)</li> <li><a href="http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2012ApJ...751..131B">The Milky Way Has No Distinct Thick Disk</a>, Bovy, Rix, &amp; Hogg (2012)</li> <li><a href="http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2012ApJ...755..115B">The Vertical Motions of Mono-abundance Sub-populations in the Milky Way Disk</a>, Bovy, Rix, Hogg, et al. (2012)</li> <li><a href="http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2013ApJ...779..115B">A Direct Dynamical Measurement of the Milky Way's Disk Surface Density Profile, Disk Scale Length, and Dark Matter Profile at 4 kpc ~ R ~ 9 kpc</a>, Bovy &amp; Rix (2013)</li> </ul> <p>This data can be used together with the code available <a href="https://github.com/jobovy/segue-maps">here</a> and <a href="https://github.com/jobovy/segueSelect">here</a> to reproduce the results in that paper. For completeness, similar data on K dwarfs in SEGUE is also included, but note that the selection function of these data is significantly more complicated than that of the G dwarf data.</p> <p>This dataset can almost entirely be reconstructed using the SQL queries given <a href="https://github.com/jobovy/segue-maps/tree/master/sql">here</a> on SDSS Sky Server, except for the [a/Fe] values from SDSS DR8, which were never made public. These [a/Fe] values are provided here <em>solely</em> for the purpose of reproducing the results from the above papers and should not be used for other purposes. Please contact the SEGUE team (Young-Sun Lee, Tim Beers, Connie Rockosi) if you want access to these data for other purposes.</p>
