Metallicity and -element Abundance Gradients along the Sagittarius Stream as Seen by APOGEE
Christian R. Hayes, Steven R. Majewski, Sten Hasselquist +27
Using 3D positions and kinematics of stars relative to the Sagittarius (Sgr) orbital plane and angular momentum, we identify 166 Sgr stream members observed by the Apache Point Obs…

Evan N. Kirby, Karoline M. Gilbert, Ivanna Escala +4
We present deep spectroscopy from Keck/DEIMOS of Andromeda I, III, V, VII, and X, all of which are dwarf spheroidal satellites of M31. The sample includes 256 spectroscopic members…
Milky Way Satellite Census. II. Galaxy--Halo Connection Constraints Including the Impact of the Large Magellanic Cloud
E. O. Nadler, R. H. Wechsler, K. Bechtol +63
The population of Milky Way (MW) satellites contains the faintest known galaxies and thus provides essential insight into galaxy formation and dark matter microphysics. Here we com…
Milky Way Satellite Census. I. The Observational Selection Function for Milky Way Satellites in DES Y3 and Pan-STARRS DR1
A. Drlica-Wagner, K. Bechtol, S. Mau +55
We report the results of a systematic search for ultra-faint Milky Way satellite galaxies using data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and Pan-STARRS1 (PS1). Together, DES and PS1…
Two Ultra-Faint Milky Way Stellar Systems Discovered in Early Data from the DECam Local Volume Exploration Survey
S. Mau, W. Cerny, A. B. Pace +56
We report the discovery of two ultra-faint stellar systems found in early data from the DECam Local Volume Exploration survey (DELVE). The first system, Centaurus I (DELVE J1238-40…
The Sixteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys: First Release from the APOGEE-2 Southern Survey and Full Release of eBOSS Spectra
Romina Ahumada, Carlos Allende Prieto, Andres Almeida +310
This paper documents the sixteenth data release (DR16) from the Sloan Digital Sky Surveys; the fourth and penultimate from the fourth phase (SDSS-IV). This is the first release of…
Constraining the Milky Way Mass Profile with Phase-Space Distribution of Satellite Galaxies
Zhao-Zhou Li, Yong-Zhong Qian, Jiaxin Han +3
We estimate the Milky Way (MW) halo properties using satellite kinematic data including the latest measurements from Gaia DR2. With a simulation-based 6D phase-space distribution f…
Star Formation in Isolated Dwarf Galaxies Hosting Tidal Debris: Extending the Dwarf-Dwarf Merger Sequence
Erin Kado-Fong, Jenny E. Greene, Johnny P. Greco +4
Like massive galaxies, dwarf galaxies are expected to undergo major mergers with other dwarfs. However, the end state of these mergers and the role that merging plays in regulating…
The Growth of Brightest Cluster Galaxies and Intracluster Light Over the Past Ten Billion Years
Tahlia DeMaio, Anthony H. Gonzalez, Ann Zabludoff +9
We constrain the evolution of the brightest cluster galaxy plus intracluster light (BCG+ICL) using an ensemble of 42 galaxy groups and clusters that span redshifts of z = 0.05-1.75…
The Dark Matter Distributions in Low-Mass Disk Galaxies. II. The Inner Density Profiles
Nicole C. Relatores, Andrew B. Newman, Joshua D. Simon +8
Dark matter-only simulations predict that dark matter halos have steep, cuspy inner density profiles, while observations of dwarf galaxies find a range of inner slopes that are oft…
The Initial Mass Function in the Extended Ultraviolet Disk of M83
Sarah M. Bruzzese, David A. Thilker, Gerhardt Meurer +7
Using Hubble Space Telescope ACS/WFC data we present the photometry and spatial distribution of resolved stellar populations of four fields within the extended ultraviolet disk (XU…
The lifecycle of molecular clouds in nearby star-forming disc galaxies
Mélanie Chevance, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Alexander P. S. Hygate +29
It remains a major challenge to derive a theory of cloud-scale ( pc) star formation and feedback, describing how galaxies convert gas into stars as a function of the g…
The headlight cloud in NGC 628: An extreme giant molecular cloud in a typical galaxy disk
Cinthya N. Herrera, Jérôme Pety, Annie Hughes +25
Cloud-scale surveys of molecular gas reveal the link between molecular clouds properties and star formation (SF) across a range of galactic environments. Cloud populations in galax…
A Census of Sub-kiloparsec Resolution Metallicity Gradients in Star-forming Galaxies at Cosmic Noon from HST Slitless Spectroscopy

The contribution from stars stripped in binaries to cosmic reionization of hydrogen and helium
Y. Gotberg, S. E. de Mink, M. McQuinn +3
Massive stars are often found in binary systems and it has been argued that binary products boost the ionizing radiation of stellar populations. Accurate predictions for binary pro…
