The Kinematic Signature of the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy Tidal Debris from SDSS-DR1
Recent results from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the 2MASS All-Sky Survey have clearly revealed the extent of the spatial distribution of stars affiliated with the tidal debris tail of the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy (Sgr). Although these surveys help to constrain the shape of the Sgr orbit, kinematics of the tidal tail stars are crucial in
