Hidden Disruption in Milky Way-like Satellite Galaxy Populations
Gray Thoron, Nora Shipp, Alexander H. Riley +9
Determining whether a satellite galaxy is tidally disrupting from photometric observations alone remains a fundamental challenge in near-field cosmology. Cosmological simulations o…
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…
Characterizing the disruption of Böotes III: a missing link in the Galactic halo?
Jaclyn Jensen, Daniel A. Boyea, Alan W. McConnachie +14
The Böotes III (Boo3) dwarf galaxy has long been suspected of being the progenitor of Styx, a ~50°-long stellar stream that was simultaneously discovered in the same region of sky.…
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…
Galactic tides and the outer density profile of the Sculptor and Ursa Minor dwarf spheroidals
Daniel A. Boyea, Julio F. Navarro, Jaclyn Jensen +1
Most dwarf spheroidal (dSph) satellites of the Milky Way follow exponential surface density profiles that decline sharply in the outer regions. The Sculptor (Scl) and Ursa Minor (U…
