The Milky Way Bulge Extra-Tidal Star Survey: NGC 6569

Joanne Hughes, Andrea Kunder, Kevin Covey +25

We present spectroscopic evidence for tidal debris associated with the bulge globular cluster NGC 6569, based on medium-resolution (R ~ 11,000) Anglo-Australian Telescope spectra o…

The Two-infall Model Revisited: Constraints on Milky Way Bulge Assembly from >30,000 Galactic Chemical Evolution Models and Machine Learning

Niall Miller, Meridith Joyce, Christian I. Johnson +3

We constrain the formation history of the Milky Way bulge using a two-infall galactic chemical evolution (GCE) algorithm implemented in the N'OMEGA+ code. We recover a best-fit sce…

RR Lyrae Stars Belonging to the Candidate Globular Cluster Patchick 99

Evan Butler, Andrea Kunder, Zdenek Prudil +16

Patchick 99 is a candidate globular cluster located in the direction of the Galactic bulge, with a proper motion almost identical to the field and extreme field star contamination.…

The Milky Way Bulge extra-tidal star survey: BH 261 (AL 3)

Andrea Kunder, Zdenek Prudil, Kevin Covey +19

The Milky Way Bulge extra-tidal star survey (MWBest) is a spectroscopic survey with the goal of identifying stripped globular cluster stars from inner Galaxy clusters. In this way,…

The Blanco DECam Bulge Survey (BDBS) VIII: Chemo-kinematics in the southern Galactic bulge from 2.3 million red clump stars with Gaia DR3 proper motions

Tommaso Marchetti, Meridith Joyce, Christian Johnson +5

The Blanco DECam Bulge Survey (BDBS) provides near-ultraviolet to near-infrared photometry for ~250 million unique stars. By combining BDBS photometry with the latest Gaia astromet…

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…

The Bulge Radial Velocity Assay for RR Lyrae stars (BRAVA-RR) DR2: a Bimodal Bulge?

Andrea Kunder, Angeles Perez-Villegas, R. Michael Rich +11

Radial velocities of 2768 fundamental mode RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) toward the Southern Galactic bulge are presented, spanning the southern bulge from -8 < l < +8 and -3 < b <-6. Dist…

Are the double-mode bulge RR Lyrae stars with identical period-ratios the relic of a disrupted stellar system?

Andrea Kunder, Alex Tilton, Dylon Maertens +6

Radial velocities of fifteen double-mode bulge RR Lyrae (RR01) stars are presented, six of which belong to a compact group of RR01 stars in pulsation space, with the ratio of first…

The Bulge Radial Velocity Assay (BRAVA): II. Complete Sample and Data Release

Andrea Kunder, Andreas Koch, R. Michael Rich +13

We present new radial velocity measurements from the Bulge Radial Velocity Assay (BRAVA), a large scale spectroscopic survey of M-type giants in the Galactic bulge/bar region. The…

Separating the conjoined red clump in the Galactic Bulge: Kinematics and Abundances

Roberto De Propris, R. Michael Rich, Andrea Kunder +8

We have used the AAOMEGA spectrograph to obtain R spectra of 714 stars that are members of two red clumps in the Plaut Window Galactic bulge field $(l,b)=0^{\circ},-8^{…
