Hidden in the Halo: New Diffuse Star Clusters in the M82 Starburst with JWST
Deepthi S. Prabhu, David J. Sand, Burcin Mutlu-Pakdil +12
Diffuse star clusters (DSCs) occupy a poorly explored region of the size-luminosity plane between classical globular clusters (GCs) and dwarf galaxies. Here we report the discovery…
Discovery, Characterization, and Potential Origins of a Stream in the Stellar Halo of Nearby LMC-Mass Galaxy NGC 55
Benjamin N. Velguth, Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil, Erik Tollerud +33
We present a previously undetected stellar stream in the halo of the LMC-mass dwarf galaxy NGC 55 (2 Mpc), as part of an ongoing effort to characterize the stellar halos of LMC/SMC…
Rubin Observatory Reveals a Dust-Shrouded Halo Globular Cluster in Ophiuchus
Aashay Pai, William Cerny, Andrew B. Pace +9
We present the discovery of the Milky Way satellite Rubin-GC1 (Rubin J1628-1735) using data from the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Early Data Preview 2. The system was discov…
Discovery of the Distant, Ultra-Faint Milky Way Satellite Aquarius IV with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Early Data Preview 2
William Cerny, Aashay Pai, Alex Drlica-Wagner +16
We present the discovery of Aquarius IV (Rubin J22010234) -- the first ultra-faint Milky Way satellite to be identified using data from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. This syste…
The DECam MAGIC Survey: Investigating the Jet Stellar Stream with Photometric Metallicities
H. Q. Do, A. Chiti, P. S. Ferguson +27
Stellar streams are dynamically fragile structures formed by the tidal disruption of dwarf galaxies and stellar clusters. These objects are valuable tracers of the gravitational po…
A Path to an All-Sky Survey with Roman
Jiwon Jesse Han, Anirudh Chiti, Kai-Feng Chen +93
A deep, space-based, all-sky near-infrared survey carried out with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope would constitute a foundational astronomical infrastructure for decades to…
