The geometry of the Sagittarius stream from Pan-STARRS1 3π RR Lyrae

We present a comprehensive and precise description of the Sagittarius (Sgr) stellar stream’s 3D geometry as traced by its old stellar population. This analysis draws on the sample of ∼44,000 RR Lyrae (RRab) stars from the Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) 3 π survey, which is ##IMG## [http://ej.iop.org/images/0004-...
