Extragalactic Stellar Streams in Time-Dependent Cosmological Halos

Sarah Pearson, Jacob Nibauer, Emily C. Cunningham +4

Upcoming and ongoing surveys will detect thousands of stellar streams around galaxies other than the Milky Way. Studies from the Milky Way have shown that time-dependent evolution…

Evidence for the First Globular Cluster Stellar Stream beyond the Milky Way

Julie Kiel Holm, Sarah Pearson, Jacob Nibauer +5

The dark matter content of ultra-diffuse galaxies is the subject of considerable debate. Stellar streams, which form when a host galaxy tidally strips stars from an orbiting stella…

No Stream Left Unscathed: The imprint of a host galaxy

Arpit Arora, Peter S. Ferguson, Jacob Nibauer +11

Stellar streams from disrupted globular clusters are excellent probes of dark matter (DM) subhalos. Observed Milky Way streams display a remarkable diversity of features: spurs, ga…

Quantifying the Milky Way, LMC and their interaction using all-sky kinematics of outer halo stars

Richard A. N. Brooks, Jason L. Sanders, Adam M. Dillamore +4

The recent pericentric passage of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) has dislodged the Milky Way's (MW) centre of mass, inducing dynamical disequilibrium, the reflex motion, in the k…

A Path to an All-Sky Survey with Roman

Jiwon Jesse Han, Anirudh Chiti, Kai-Feng Chen +93

A deep, space-based, all-sky near-infrared survey carried out with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope would constitute a foundational astronomical infrastructure for decades to…

Measurement of Substructure from the Kinematics of the GD-1 Stellar Stream

Jacob Nibauer, Ana Bonaca, Adrian M. Price-Whelan +2

Stellar streams are sensitive tracers of low-mass dark matter subhalos and provide a means to test the Cold Dark Matter (CDM) paradigm on small scales. In this work, we connect the…

Inferring the density and membership of stellar streams with flexible models: The GD-1 stream in Gaia Data Release 3

Kiyan Tavangar, Adrian M. Price-Whelan

Stellar streams provide one of the most promising avenues for constraining the global mass distribution of the Milky Way and the nature of dark matter (DM). The stream stars' kinem…

: Hamiltonian Perturbation Theory for Stellar Streams in Flexible Potentials with Differentiable Simulations

Jacob Nibauer, Ana Bonaca, David N. Spergel +4

Stellar streams retain a memory of their gravitational interactions with small-scale perturbations. While perturbative models for streams have been formulated in action-angle coord…

Segue 2 Recently Collided with the Cetus-Palca Stream: New Opportunities to Constrain Dark Matter in an Ultra-Faint Dwarf

Hayden R. Foote, Gurtina Besla, Nicolás Garavito-Camargo +7

Stellar streams in the Milky Way are promising detectors of low-mass dark matter (DM) subhalos predicted by CDM. Passing subhalos induce perturbations in streams that indicate t…

Stream Members Only: Data-Driven Characterization of Stellar Streams with Mixture Density Networks

Nathaniel Starkman, Jacob Nibauer, Jo Bovy +4

Stellar streams are sensitive probes of the Milky Way's gravitational potential. The mean track of a stream constrains global properties of the potential, while its fine-grained su…

The Future of Astronomical Data Infrastructure: Meeting Report

Michael R. Blanton, Janet D. Evans, Dara Norman +69

The astronomical community is grappling with the increasing volume and complexity of data produced by modern telescopes, due to difficulties in reducing, accessing, analyzing, and…

Astro2020 APC White Paper: Elevating the Role of Software as a Product of the Research Enterprise

Arfon M. Smith, Dara Norman, Kelle Cruz +42

Software is a critical part of modern research, and yet there are insufficient mechanisms in the scholarly ecosystem to acknowledge, cite, and measure the impact of research softwa…
