: The Orbital and Chemical Properties of One Dozen Stellar Streams

Ting S. Li, Alexander P. Ji, Andrew B. Pace +19

We report the kinematic, orbital, and chemical properties of 12 stellar streams with no evident progenitors, using line-of-sight velocities and metallicities from the Southern Stel…

From the Fire: A Deeper Look at the Phoenix Stream

K. Tavangar, P. Ferguson, N. Shipp +64

We use six years of data from the Dark Energy Survey to perform a detailed photometric characterization of the Phoenix stellar stream, a 15-degree long, thin, dynamically cold, low…

Measuring the Mass of the Large Magellanic Cloud with Stellar Streams Observed by

Nora Shipp, Denis Erkal, Alex Drlica-Wagner +16

Stellar streams are excellent probes of the underlying gravitational potential in which they evolve. In this work, we fit dynamical models to five streams in the Southern Galactic…

: The destruction of a bright dwarf galaxy as revealed by the chemistry of the Indus stellar stream

T. T. Hansen, A. P. Ji, G. S. Da Costa +13

The recently discovered Indus stellar stream exhibits a diverse chemical signature compared to what is found for most other streams due to the abundances of two outlier stars, Indu…

DELVE-ing into the Jet: a thin stellar stream on a retrograde orbit at 30 kpc

Peter Ferguson, Nora Shipp, Alex Drlica-Wagner +20

We perform a detailed photometric and astrometric analysis of stars in the Jet stream using data from the first data release of the DECam Local Volume Exploration Survey (DELVE) DR…
