Physical properties of star clusters in the outer LMC as observed by the Dark Energy Survey

A. Pieres, B. Santiago, E. Balbinot +57

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) harbors a rich and diverse system of star clusters, whose ages, chemical abundances, and positions provide information about the LMC history of sta…

On the dependence of the type Ia SNe luminosities on the metallicity of their host galaxies

Manuel E. Moreno-Raya, Mercedes Mollá, Ángel R. López-Sánchez +4

The metallicity of the progenitor system producing a type Ia supernova (SN Ia) could play a role in its maximum luminosity, as suggested by theoretical predictions. We present an o…

Determining Ages of APOGEE Giants with Known Distances

Diane K Feuillet, Jo Bovy, Jon Holtzman +4

We present a sample of local red giant stars observed using the New Mexico State University 1 m telescope with the APOGEE spectrograph, for which we estimate stellar ages and the a…

Globular Cluster Streams as Galactic High-Precision Scales

A. H. W. Küpper, E. Balbinot, A. Bonaca +4

Tidal streams of globular clusters are ideal tracers of the Galactic gravitational potential. Compared to the few known, complex and diffuse dwarf-galaxy streams, they are kinemati…

Discovery of a Stellar Overdensity in Eridanus-Phoenix in the Dark Energy Survey

T. S. Li, E. Balbinot, N. Mondrik +56

We report the discovery of an excess of main sequence turn-off stars in the direction of the constellations of Eridanus and Phoenix from the first year data of the Dark Energy Surv…

The Phoenix stream: a cold stream in the Southern hemisphere

E. Balbinot, B. Yanny, T. S. Li +49

We report the discovery of a stellar stream in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year 1 (Y1A1) data. The discovery was made through simple color-magnitude filters and visual inspection…
