Orbital Clustering Identifies the Origins of Galactic Stellar Streams
Ana Bonaca, Rohan P. Naidu, Charlie Conroy +9
The origins of most stellar streams in the Milky Way are unknown. With improved proper motions provided by Gaia EDR3, we show that the orbits of 23 Galactic stellar streams are hig…
Stellar Population Inference with Prospector
Benjamin D. Johnson, Joel Leja, Charlie Conroy +1
Inference of the physical properties of stellar populations from observed photometry and spectroscopy is a key goal in the study of galaxy evolution. In recent years the quality an…
Inferring the Morphology of Stellar Distribution in TNG50: Twisted and Twisted-Stretched shapes
Razieh Emami, Lars Hernquist, Charles Alcock +9
We investigate the morphology of the stellar distribution in a sample of Milky Way (MW) like galaxies in the TNG50 simulation. Using a local in shell iterative method (LSIM) as the…
Ancient Very Metal-Poor Stars Associated With the Galactic Disk in the H3 Survey
Courtney Carter, Charlie Conroy, Dennis Zaritsky +8
Ancient, very metal-poor stars offer a window into the earliest epochs of galaxy formation and assembly. We combine data from the H3 Spectroscopic Survey and Gaia to measure metall…
Discovery of Magellanic Stellar Debris in the H3 Survey
Dennis Zaritsky, Charlie Conroy, Rohan P. Naidu +9
We report the discovery of 15 stars in the H3 survey that lie, in projection, near the tip of the trailing gaseous Magellanic Stream (MS). The stars have Galactocentric velocities…
Constraining the Distance to the North Polar Spur with Gaia DR2
Kaustav K. Das, Catherine Zucker, Joshua S. Speagle +3
The North Polar Spur (NPS) is one of the largest structures observed in the Milky Way in both the radio and soft x-rays. While several predictions have been made regarding the orig…
