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…
A Chemodynamical Census of the Milky Way's Ultra-Faint Compact Satellites. I. A First Population-Level Look at the Internal Kinematics and Metallicities of 19 Extremely-Low-Mass Halo Stellar Systems
William Cerny, Ting S. Li, Andrew B. Pace +13
Deep, wide-area photometric surveys have uncovered a population of compact ( 1-15 pc), extremely-low-mass ( 20-4000 ) stellar systems in th…
A DECADE of dwarfs: first detection of weak lensing around spectroscopically confirmed low-mass galaxies
Chun-Hao To, Chihway Chang, Dhayaa Anbajagane +35
We present the first detection of weak gravitational lensing around spectroscopically confirmed dwarf galaxies, using the large overlap between DESI DR1 spectroscopic data and DECA…
Predictions for the Detectability of Milky Way Satellite Galaxies and Outer-Halo Star Clusters with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory
Kabelo Tsiane, Sidney Mau, Alex Drlica-Wagner +8
We predict the sensitivity of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) to faint, resolved Milky Way satellite galaxies and outer-halo star clusters. We…
Eridanus III and DELVE 1: Carbon-rich Primordial Star Clusters or the Smallest Dwarf Galaxies?
Joshua D. Simon, Ting S. Li, Alexander P. Ji +8
We present spectroscopy of the ultra-faint Milky Way satellites Eridanus III (Eri III) and DELVE 1. We identify eight member stars in each satellite and place non-constraining uppe…
Discovery and Spectroscopic Confirmation of Aquarius III: A Low-Mass Milky Way Satellite Galaxy
W. Cerny, A. Chiti, M. Geha +37
We present the discovery of Aquarius III, an ultra-faint Milky Way satellite galaxy identified in the second data release of the DECam Local Volume Exploration (DELVE) survey. Base…
