PHANGS-HST: Globular Cluster Systems in 17 Nearby Spiral Galaxies
Matthew Floyd, Rupali Chandar, Bradley C. Whitmore +18
We present new catalogs of likely globular clusters (GCs) in 17 nearby spiral galaxies studied as part of the PHANGS-HST Treasury Survey. The galaxies were imaged in five broad-ban…
Rubin Observatory LSST Stars Milky Way and Local Volume Star Clusters Roadmap
Christopher Usher, Kristen C. Dage, Léo Girardi +26
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory will undertake the Legacy Survey of Space and Time, providing an unprecedented, volume-limited catalog of star clusters in the Southern Sky, including…
LSST Survey Strategy in the Galactic Plane and Magellanic Clouds
R. A. Street, X. Li, S. Khakpash +16
Galactic science encompasses a wide range of subjects in the study of the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds, from Young Stellar Objects to X-ray Binaries. Mapping these populations,…
Rubin LSST observing strategies to maximize volume and uniformity coverage of Star Forming Regions in the Galactic Plane
L. Prisinzano, R. Bonito, A. Mazzi +9
A complete map of the youngest stellar populations of the Milky Way in the era of all-sky surveys, is one of the most challenging goals in modern astrophysics. The characterisation…
Simulating the Legacy Survey of Space and Time stellar content with TRILEGAL
Piero Dal Tio, Giada Pastorelli, Alessandro Mazzi +19
We describe a large simulation of the stars to be observed by the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). The simulation is based on the TRILEGAL code, wh…
Blanco DECam Bulge Survey (BDBS) IV: Metallicity Distributions and Bulge Structure from 2.6 Million Red Clump Stars
Christian I. Johnson, R. Michael Rich, Iulia T. Simion +12
We present photometric metallicity measurements for a sample of 2.6 million bulge red clump stars extracted from the Blanco DECam Bulge Survey (BDBS). Similar to previous studies,…
Blanco DECam Bulge Survey (BDBS) V. Cleaning the foreground populations from Galactic bulge colour-magnitude diagrams using Gaia EDR3
Tommaso Marchetti, Christian I. Johnson, Meridith Joyce +8
The Blanco DECam Bulge Survey (BDBS) has imaged more than 200 square degrees of the southern Galactic bulge, providing photometry in the ugrizy filters for million uniqu…
Using Machine Learning to Identify Extragalactic Globular Cluster Candidates from Ground-Based Photometric Surveys of M87
Emilia Barbisan, Jeff Huang, Kristen C. Dage +6
Globular clusters (GCs) have been at the heart of many longstanding questions in many sub-fields of astronomy and, as such, systematic identification of GCs in external galaxies ha…
Predicted Trends in Milky Way Bulge Proper Motion Rotation Curves: future Prospects for HST and LSST
Steven Gough-Kelly, Victor P. Debattista, William I. Clarkson +5
We use an -body+smoothed particle hydrodynamics simulation of an isolated barred galaxy to study the age dependence of bulge longitudinal proper motion () rotation curves.…
Blanco DECam Bulge Survey (BDBS) III: A new view of the double red clump in the Milky Way bulge through luminosity and color distribution
Dongwook Lim, Andreas J. Koch-Hansen, Chul Chung +9
Red clump (RC) stars are one of the best stellar tracers of the structure of the Milky Way (MW) bulge. Here we report a new view of the double RC through luminosity and color distr…
The Blanco DECam Bulge Survey. I. The Survey Description and Early Results
R. Michael Rich, Christian I. Johnson, Michael Young +18
The Blanco Dark Energy Camera (DECam) Bulge survey is a Vera Rubin Observatory (LSST) pathfinder imaging survey, spanning sq. deg. of the Southern Galactic bulge, $-2^\c…
Blanco DECam Bulge Survey (BDBS) II: Project Performance, Data Analysis, and Early Science Results
Christian I. Johnson, R. Michael Rich, Michael D. Young +7
The Blanco DECam Bulge Survey (BDBS) imaged more than 200 square degrees of the Southern Galactic bulge using the ugrizY filters of the Dark Energy Camera, and produced point sprea…
LSST Cadence Optimization White Paper: The Definitive Map of the Galactic bulge
Oscar A. Gonzalez, Will Clarkson, Victor P. Debattista +14
We recommend configuring the LSST coverage of the inner Galactic plane to allow the production of the definitive age/metallicity map of the Galactic bulge from LSST data, matched t…
The Plane's The Thing: The Case for Wide-Fast-Deep Coverage of the Galactic Plane and Bulge
Jay Strader, Elias Aydi, Christopher Britt +21
We argue that the exclusion of the Galactic Plane and Bulge from the uniform wide-fast-deep (WFD) LSST survey cadence is fundamentally inconsistent with two of the main science dri…
The Unusual Initial Mass Function of the Arches Cluster
M. W. Hosek, J. R. Lu, J. Anderson +5
As a young massive cluster in the Central Molecular Zone, the Arches cluster is a valuable probe of the stellar Initial Mass Function (IMF) in the extreme Galactic Center environme…
Chemically-dissected rotation curves of the Galactic Bulge from Main Sequence proper motions
William I. Clarkson, Annalisa Calamida, Kailash C. Sahu +9
We report results from an exploratory study implementing a new probe of Galactic evolution using archival Hubble Space Telescope imaging observations. Precise proper motions are co…
The Optical/Near-Infrared Extinction Law In Highly Reddened Regions
M. W. Hosek, J. R. Lu, J. Anderson +6
A precise extinction law is a critical input when interpreting observations of highly reddened sources such as young star clusters and the Galactic Center (GC). We use Hubble Space…
Reverberation Mapping of the Seyfert 1 Galaxy NGC 7469
