The Carbon-Dependent Binary Frequency of CEMP-no Stars
John D. Dixon, Terese T. Hansen, Jennifer Marshall +15
The authors monitored radial velocities of 30 CEMP-no stars and combined these data with literature to assess binary frequencies, finding that high‑carbon CEMP-no stars have a sign…
Deep Imaging of Grus II and Horologium II: Structure and Extent of Two Ultra-Faint Milky Way Satellites
Deepthi S. Prabhu, David J. Sand, Anirudh Chiti +29
We present deep, wide-field Magellan/Megacam imaging of the ultra-faint Milky Way (MW) satellites Grus II (Gru II) and Horologium II (Hor II), with the aim of deriving improved con…
Disentangling the Distant Stellar Halo Using K-Giants in the DESI Year 3 Data
Namitha Kizhuprakkat, Andrew P. Cooper, Wenting Wang +42
We present a sample of 88,959 K-giants from DESI Milky Way Survey Year 3 data, which we use to characterize the chemo-dynamical properties of the stellar halo at Galactocentric dis…
The Milky Way's Missing In-Situ Halo
Madeline Lucey, Robyn E. Sanderson, Alexander H. Riley +3
The Milky Way's stellar halo preserves a record of its mass assembly history, encoding accretion events in its structural properties. Among the most prominent of these features is…
Constraining the Galactic bar using the M92 stellar stream
Amanda Byström, Sergey E. Koposov, Ting. S. Li +42
Stellar streams are excellent probes of the gravitational potential in which they evolve. In the Milky Way (MW), globular cluster (GC) streams are routinely used to infer propertie…
Characterizing the GD-1 Stream with DESI DR2 Data: Thin Stream and Hot Cocoon
Emma Jarvis, Ting S. Li, Sergey E. Koposov +54
GD-1 is among the longest, coldest stellar streams in the Milky Way, making it an ideal target for probing dark matter substructure through dynamical heating. We present a catalog…
