Descripción
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) is collecting photometry and
intermediate resolution spectra for ˜105 stars in the
thick-disk and stellar halo of the Milky Way. This massive dataset can
be used to infer the properties of the stars that make up these
structures, and considerably deepen our vision of the old components of
the Galaxy. We devise tools for automatic analysis of the SDSS
photometric and spectroscopic data based on plane-parallel
line-blanketed LTE model atmospheres and fast optimization algorithms. A
preliminary study of about 5000 stars in the Early Data Release gives a
hint of the vast amount of information that the SDSS stellar sample
contains.
