A Lower Limit on the Mass of Our Galaxy from the H3 Survey
Dennis Zaritsky, Charlie Conroy, Huanian Zhang +5
The timing argument provides a lower limit on the mass of the Milky Way. We find, using a sample of 32 stars at kpc drawn from the H3 Spectroscopic Survey and mock catalog…
Resolving the Metallicity Distribution of the Stellar Halo with the H3 Survey
Charlie Conroy, Rohan P. Naidu, Dennis Zaritsky +4
The Galactic stellar halo is predicted to have formed at least partially from the tidal disruption of accreted dwarf galaxies. This assembly history should be detectable in the orb…
Model-independent constraints on the hydrogen-ionizing emissivity at z>6
Charlotte A. Mason, Rohan P. Naidu, Sandro Tacchella +1
Modelling reionization often requires significant assumptions about the properties of ionizing sources. Here, we infer the total output of hydrogen-ionizing photons (the ionizing e…
Mapping the Stellar Halo with the H3 Spectroscopic Survey
Charlie Conroy, Ana Bonaca, Phillip Cargile +8
Modern theories of galaxy formation predict that the Galactic stellar halo was hierarchically assembled from the accretion and disruption of smaller systems. This hierarchical asse…
Rapid Reionization by the Oligarchs: The Case for Massive, UV-Bright, Star-Forming Galaxies with High Escape Fractions
Rohan P. Naidu, Sandro Tacchella, Charlotte A. Mason +3
The protagonists of cosmic reionization remain elusive. Faint star-forming galaxies are leading candidates because they are numerous and may have significant ionizing photon escape…
