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…

Extending the SAGA Survey (xSAGA) I: Satellite Radial Profiles as a Function of Host Galaxy Properties

John F. Wu, J. E. G. Peek, Erik J. Tollerud +6

We present "Extending the Satellites Around Galactic Analogs Survey" (xSAGA), a method for identifying low- galaxies on the basis of optical imaging, and results on the spatial…

UniverseMachine: Predicting Galaxy Star Formation over Seven Decades of Halo Mass with Zoom-in Simulations

Yunchong Wang, Ethan O. Nadler, Yao-Yuan Mao +3

We apply the empirical galaxy--halo connection model UniverseMachine to dark matter-only zoom-in simulations of isolated Milky Way (MW)--mass halos along with their parent cosmolog…

Searching for Dwarf Galaxies in DR2 Phase-Space Data Using Wavelet Transforms

Elise Darragh-Ford, Ethan O. Nadler, Sean McLaughlin +1

We present a wavelet-based algorithm to identify dwarf galaxies in the Milky Way in DR2 data. Our algorithm detects overdensities in 4D position--proper motion space,…

The SAGA Survey. II. Building a Statistical Sample of Satellite Systems around Milky Way-like Galaxies

Yao-Yuan Mao, Marla Geha, Risa H. Wechsler +4

We present the Stage II results from the ongoing Satellites Around Galactic Analogs (SAGA) Survey. Upon completion, the SAGA Survey will spectroscopically identify satellite galaxi…
