DES stars: DC5 results and planing for DC6 Dark Energy Survey Collaboration MeetingMadrid – May 2010 Milky-Way Working Group DES-Brazil
DC5 stellar sample • DES MWWG provided input stellar sample • Trilegal code (Girardi et al): • Thin and thick disks, bulge, halo • IMF, SFH, AMR • Padova evolutionary tracks • Proper motions
Truth tables vs DC5-VAC • Analysis used Brazilian portal: star counts, colour-mag, colour-colour diagrams, photometric errors and residuals, astrometry. • Matching number of VAC stars to truth table requires class_star ≃ 0.50.
Distribution of class_star All obj w/ r < 23 Ngal / Ntotal
Phot. errors and residuals(all objects) GSN/VAC: g errors vs true g GSN/VAC: g vs true g Brazilian Portal

Planing for DC6Add globular clusters and tidal tails • AddClus • positions, masses, magnitudes, and colours • 3 isochrone sets: Padova, PEL, BaSTI • simulate both GC and tidal tails • GC: Hubble-Reynolds, modified Hubble, King profile • unresolved binaries, photometric errors • mass segregation and other dynamical effects.
AddClus: adding positions Simulation of NGC 2298: m-M = 15.1, Z=5 10-4 , = 12.5 Gyrs N = 105 stars King profile: rc=2.5pc, rtidal=75pc fbin = 0.5
Adding a tidal tail Tidal tail: from 30 to 1000pc N = 40% of GC stars PA = 45o; = 20o
Mass segregation MF slopes (): (m) ∝ m- inner: 1.3, 2.0, 1.6 mid: 2.0, 2.35, 2.35 outer:-0.2, 2.7, 2.8
Detecting a GC tidal tail:matched filter • Technique to detect a low signals mixed to high background From Rockosi et al (2002)
Validation:Pal 5 and field (SDSS) Eduardo Balbinot
Comparison to Rockosi et al 2002 Eduardo Balbinot Rockosi et al
Modelling other Stellar Populations Extra remarks: GC tails and the Galaxy cover large solid angles, especially the latter.
Outer LMC: a lot to improve • 1 sq deg • uniform SFH assumed • No depth effects yet
