Search For a Counterpart to the Subsolar Mass Gravitational Wave Candidate S251112cm
Nicholas Vieira, Noah Franz, Bhagya Subrayan +49
The recent candidate gravitational-wave (GW) alert from a compact object merger involving at least one subsolar mass (SSM) object has prompted questions about their origins. S25111…
SAGAbg III: Environmental Stellar Mass Functions, Self-Quenching, and the Stellar-to-Halo Mass Relation in the Dwarf Galaxy Regime
Erin Kado-Fong, Yao-Yuan Mao, Yasmeen Asali +8
Recent efforts have extended our view of the number and properties of satellite galaxies beyond the Local Group firmly down to . A similarly complete…
The SAGA Survey. VI. The Size-Mass Relation for Low-Mass Galaxies Across Environments
Yasmeen Asali, Marla Geha, Erin Kado-Fong +10
We investigate how Milky Way-like environments influence the sizes and structural properties of low-mass galaxies by comparing satellites of Milky Way analogs from the Satellites A…
SAGAbg II: the Low-Mass Star-Forming Sequence Evolves Significantly Between 0.05<z<0.21
Erin Kado-Fong, Marla Geha, Yao-Yuan Mao +8
The redshift-dependent relation between galaxy stellar mass and star formation rate (the Star-Forming Sequence, or SFS) is a key observational yardstick for galaxy assembly. We use…
The SAGA Survey. V. Modeling Satellite Systems around Milky Way-mass Galaxies with Updated UniverseMachine
Yunchong Wang, Ethan O. Nadler, Yao-Yuan Mao +11
Environment plays a critical role in shaping the assembly of low-mass galaxies. Here, we use the UniverseMachine (UM) galaxy-halo connection framework and the Data Release 3 of the…
The SAGA Survey. IV. The Star Formation Properties of 101 Satellite Systems around Milky Way-mass Galaxies
Marla Geha, Yao-Yuan Mao, Risa H. Wechsler +9
We present the star-forming properties of 378 satellite galaxies around 101 Milky Way analogs in the Satellites Around Galactic Analogs (SAGA) Survey, focusing on the environmental…
The SAGA Survey. III. A Census of 101 Satellite Systems around Milky Way-mass Galaxies
Yao-Yuan Mao, Marla Geha, Risa H. Wechsler +9
We present Data Release 3 (DR3) of the Satellites Around Galactic Analogs (SAGA) Survey, a spectroscopic survey characterizing satellite galaxies around Milky Way (MW)-mass galaxie…
SAGAbg I: A Near-Unity Mass Loading Factor in Low-Mass Galaxies via their Low-Redshift Evolution in Stellar Mass, Oxygen Abundance, and Star Formation Rate
Erin Kado-Fong, Marla Geha, Yao-Yuan Mao +7
Measuring the relation between star formation and galactic winds is observationally difficult. In this work we make an indirect measurement of the mass loading factor (the ratio be…
The mass profiles of dwarf galaxies from Dark Energy Survey lensing
Joseph Thornton, Alexandra Amon, Risa H. Wechsler +7
We present a novel approach to extracting dwarf galaxies from photometric data to measure their average halo mass profile with weak lensing. We characterise their stellar mass and…
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…
Maximizing Science in the Era of LSST: A Community-Based Study of Needed US Capabilities
Joan Najita, Beth Willman, Douglas P. Finkbeiner +48
The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will be a discovery machine for the astronomy and physics communities, revealing astrophysical phenomena from the Solar System to the out…
