Gas-rich, field ultra-diffuse galaxies host few globular clusters
Michael G. Jones, Ananthan Karunakaran, Paul Bennet +7
We present Hubble Space Telescope imaging of 14 gas-rich, low surface brightness galaxies in the field at distances of 25-36 Mpc, with mean effective radii and -band central sur…
Timing the r-Process Enrichment of the Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxy Reticulum II
Joshua D. Simon, Thomas M. Brown, Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil +65
The ultra-faint dwarf galaxy Reticulum II (Ret II) exhibits a unique chemical evolution history, with 72 +10/-12% of its stars strongly enhanced in r-process elements. We present d…
Identification of Galaxy-Galaxy Strong Lens Candidates in the DECam Local Volume Exploration Survey Using Machine Learning
E. A. Zaborowski, A. Drlica-Wagner, F. Ashmead +88
We perform a search for galaxy-galaxy strong lens systems using a convolutional neural network (CNN) applied to imaging data from the first public data release of the DECam Local V…
The Quenched Satellite Population Around Milky Way Analogs
Ananthan Karunakaran, David J. Sand, Michael G. Jones +5
We study the relative fractions of quenched and star-forming satellite galaxies in the Satellites Around Galactic Analogs (SAGA) survey and Exploration of Local VolumE Satellites (…
Six More Ultra-Faint Milky Way Companions Discovered in the DECam Local Volume Exploration Survey
W. Cerny, C. E. Martínez-Vázquez, A. Drlica-Wagner +28
We report the discovery of six ultra-faint Milky Way satellites discovered through matched-filter searches conducted using Dark Energy Camera (DECam) data processed as part of the…
Characterising the Intracluster Light over the Redshift Range in the DES-ACT Overlap
Jesse B. Golden-Marx, Y. Zhang, R. L. C. Ogando +66
We characterise the properties and evolution of Bright Central Galaxies (BCGs) and the surrounding intracluster light (ICL) in galaxy clusters identified in overlapping regions of…
Young, blue, and isolated stellar systems in the Virgo Cluster. I. 2-D Optical spectroscopy
M. Bellazzini, L. Magrini, M. G. Jones +20
We use panoramic optical spectroscopy obtained with MUSE@VLT to investigate the nature of five candidate extremely isolated low-mass star forming regions (Blue Candidates, BCs here…
Young, blue, and isolated stellar systems in the Virgo Cluster. II. A new class of stellar system
Michael G. Jones, David J. Sand, Michele Bellazzini +21
We discuss five blue stellar systems in the direction of the Virgo cluster, analogous to the enigmatic object SECCO 1 (AGC 226067). These objects were identified based on their opt…
HI Properties of Satellite Galaxies around Local Volume Hosts
Ananthan Karunakaran, Kristine Spekkens, Rhys Carroll +5
We present neutral atomic hydrogen (HI) observations using the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT) along the lines of sight to 49 dwarf satellite galaxy candidates around eig…
Tucana B: A Potentially Isolated and Quenched Ultra-faint Dwarf Galaxy at D1.4 Mpc
D. J. Sand, B. Mutlu-Pakdil, M. G. Jones +7
We report the discovery of Tucana B, an isolated ultra-faint dwarf galaxy at a distance of D=1.4 Mpc. Tucana B was found during a search for ultra-faint satellite companions to the…
The DECam Local Volume Exploration Survey Data Release 2
A. Drlica-Wagner, P. S. Ferguson, M. Adamów +121
We present the second public data release (DR2) from the DECam Local Volume Exploration survey (DELVE). DELVE DR2 combines new DECam observations with archival DECam data from the…
Pegasus IV: Discovery and Spectroscopic Confirmation of an Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxy in the Constellation Pegasus
W. Cerny, J. D. Simon, T. S. Li +29
We report the discovery of Pegasus IV, an ultra-faint dwarf galaxy found in archival data from the Dark Energy Camera processed by the DECam Local Volume Exploration Survey. Pegasu…
Milky Way Satellite Census. IV. Constraints on Decaying Dark Matter from Observations of Milky Way Satellite Galaxies
S. Mau, E. O. Nadler, R. H. Wechsler +66
We use a recent census of the Milky Way (MW) satellite galaxy population to constrain the lifetime of particle dark matter (DM). We consider two-body decaying dark matter (DDM) in…
