Science Goals
The H3 Survey will unravel the assembly history of the Galaxy by addressing the following key science questions:
- Identify and characterize disrupting and disrupted dwarf galaxies in the Milky Way stellar halo using both phase space information and chemistry.
- Measure the outer mass profile of the Galaxy and the shape of the dark matter halo.
- Understand the transition between the thick stellar disk and the stellar halo.
