The Binary Fraction of Milky Way Field Stars in DESI: Dependence on Chemical Abundance

Tian Qiu, Wenting Wang, Sergey E. Koposov +39

Binary populations encode information about the physical conditions of star formation and the subsequent evolution of stellar populations. Adopting a statistical method based on mu…

From observing strategies to velocity dispersion bias: forward modeling unresolved binaries in ultra-faint dwarf galaxies

Xiaowei Ou, Andrew B. Pace, Nitya Kallivayalil +9

Ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs) in the Milky Way are ideal probes of low-mass galaxy formation and dark matter because they are highly dark-matter dominated. In the lowest-mass s…

Boötes III is a Tidally Disrupting Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxy on an Eccentric Polar Orbit

Ting S. Li, Denis Erkal, Andrew B. Pace +20

We present updated systemic properties of the ultra-faint dwarf galaxy Boötes III from the Southern Stellar Stream Spectroscopic Survey (S). We identify 21 high-probability mem…

Dark Matter in Draco and Boötes I: Hints of a Core in an Ultra-Faint Dwarf from Simulation-Based Inference

Tri Nguyen, Lina Necib, Ting S. Li +8

The density profiles of dwarf spheroidal galaxies are among the most sensitive probes of dark matter physics, yet extracting them from noisy stellar kinematics remains a fundamenta…

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…

The Kinematically Hot, Extremely Metal-Poor C-19 Stellar Stream in DESI DR2

Nasser Mohammed, Joseph Y. Tang, Ting S. Li +47

Stellar streams are the result of a host galaxy's gravitational potential tidally disrupting satellite dwarf galaxies and globular clusters (GCs), causing them to grow leading and…

It's a matter of time: Empirical Constraints on Supernova Yields and Delay Times from Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies

Mairéad E. Heiger, Alexander P. Ji, Joshua S. Speagle +6

The chemical abundances of a stellar population encode information about nucleosynthesis and its astrophysical sites, but this information is confounded by the specific star format…

Signatures of a Tidally Induced Spiral Arm at the Anticenter of the Milky Way and a Kinematically Extended Anticenter Stream Using DESI DR2

Mika Lambert, Constance M. Rockosi, Sergey E. Koposov +46

Using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument Milky Way Survey (DESI MWS), we examine the 6D space of the anticenter region of the stellar disk (150 Galactic longitude…
