Prospects for Galactic and stellar astrophysics with asteroseismology of giant stars in the Continuous Viewing Zones and beyond
J. Ted Mackereth, Andrea Miglio, Yvonne Elsworth +30

An extended halo around an ancient dwarf galaxy
Anirudh Chiti, Anna Frebel, Joshua D. Simon +7
The Milky Way is surrounded by dozens of ultra-faint (< solar luminosities) dwarf satellite galaxies. They are the surviving remnants of the earliest galaxies, as confirmed…

On the duration of the embedded phase of star formation
Jaeyeon Kim, Mélanie Chevance, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen +23
Feedback from massive stars plays a key role in molecular cloud evolution. After the onset of star formation, the young stellar population is exposed by photoionization, winds, sup…
Orbital Torus Imaging: Using Element Abundances to Map Orbits and Mass in the Milky Way
Adrian M. Price-Whelan, David W. Hogg, Kathryn V. Johnston +9
Many approaches to galaxy dynamics assume that the gravitational potential is simple and the distribution function is time-invariant. Under these assumptions there are traditional…
Eridanus II: A Fossil from Reionization with an Off-Center Star Cluster
Joshua D. Simon, Thomas M. Brown, Alex Drlica-Wagner +10
We present deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST) photometry of the ultra-faint dwarf galaxy Eridanus II (Eri II). Eri II, which has an absolute magnitude of M_V = -7.1, is located at a…
Revealing the Accretion Physics of Supermassive Black Holes at Redshift z~7 with Chandra and Infrared Observations
Feige Wang, Xiaohui Fan, Jinyi Yang +14
X-ray emission from quasars has been detected up to redshift , although only limited to a few objects at . In this work, we present new Chandra observations of five $…
591 high velocity stars in the Galactic halo selected from LAMOST DR7 and Gaia DR2
Yin-Bi Li, A-Li Luo, You-Jun Lu +14
In this paper, we report 591 high velocity star candidates (HiVelSCs) selected from over 10 million spectra of the data release seven (DR7) of the Large Sky Area Multi-object Fiber…
The black hole mass of the multiply imaged quasar SDSS J2222+2745 from velocity-resolved time lags of the CIV emission line
Peter R. Williams, Tommaso Treu, Håkon Dahle +6
We present the first results of a 4.5 year monitoring campaign of the three bright images of multiply imaged quasar SDSS J2222+2745 using the Gemini North Multi-Object Sp…
Identifying RR Lyrae Variable Stars in Six Years of the Dark Energy Survey
K. M. Stringer, A. Drlica-Wagner, L. Macri +67
We present a search for RR Lyrae stars using the full six-year data set from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) covering ~5,000 sq. deg. of the southern sky. Using a multi-stage multi-va…
An Amusing Look at the Host of the Periodic Nuclear Transient ASASSN-14ko Reveals a Second AGN
M. A. Tucker, B. J. Shappee, J. T. Hinkle +10
We present Multi-Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) integral-field spectroscopy of ESO 253G003, which hosts a known Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) and the periodic nuclear transi…
Pre-supernova feedback mechanisms drive the destruction of molecular clouds in nearby star-forming disc galaxies
Mélanie Chevance, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen, Mark R. Krumholz +28
It is a major open question which physical processes stop the accretion of gas onto giant molecular clouds (GMCs) and limit the efficiency at which gas is converted into stars with…
Preliminary Target Selection for the DESI Milky Way Survey (MWS)
Carlos Allende Prieto, Andrew P. Cooper, Arjun Dey +31
The DESI Milky Way Survey (MWS) will observe 8 million stars between mag, supplemented by observations of brighter targets under poor observing conditions. The s…
The Cosmic Ultraviolet Baryon Survey (CUBS) II: Discovery of an H-Bearing DLA in the Vicinity of an Early-Type Galaxy at z = 0.576
Erin Boettcher, Hsiao-Wen Chen, Fakhri S. Zahedy +18
We report the serendipitous detection of an H-bearing damped Lyman- absorber at z = 0.576 in the spectrum of the QSO J0111-0316 in the Cosmic Ultraviolet Baryon Survey. Sp…
Dorado and its member galaxies. Ha imaging of the group backbone
R. Rampazzo, S. Ciroi, P. Mazzei +9
ABRIDGED: Dorado is a nearby, rich and clumpy galaxy group that extends for several degrees in the Southern Hemisphere. For the first time, we map the Ha distribution as a possible…
Black Hole Mergers from Hierarchical Triples in Dense Star Clusters
Miguel A. S. Martinez, Giacomo Fragione, Kyle Kremer +8
Hierarchical triples are expected to be produced by the frequent binary-mediated interactions in the cores of globular clusters. In some of these triples, the tertiary companion ca…
