LSST Cadence Optimization White Paper in Support of Observations of Unresolved Tidal Stellar Streams in Galaxies beyond the Local Group

Seppo Laine, David Martinez-Delgado, Ignacio Trujillo +11

Deep observations of faint surface brightness stellar tidal streams in external galaxies with LSST are addressed in this White Paper contribution. We propose using the Wide--Fast--…

The total mass of the Large Magellanic Cloud from its perturbation on the Orphan stream

D. Erkal, V. Belokurov, C. F. P. Laporte +13

In a companion paper by Koposov et al., RR Lyrae from \textit{Gaia} Data Release 2 are used to demonstrate that stars in the Orphan stream have velocity vectors significantly misal…

Piercing the Milky Way: an all-sky view of the Orphan Stream

S. E. Koposov, V. Belokurov, T. S. Li +13

We use astrometry, broad-band photometry and variability information from the Data Release 2 of ESA's Gaia mission (GDR2) to identify members of the Orphan Stream (OS) across the w…

A machine--vision method for automatic classification of stellar halo substructure

David Hendel, Kathryn V. Johnston, Rohit K. Patra +1

Tidal debris structures formed from disrupted satellites contain important clues about the assembly histories of galaxies. To date, studies of these structures have been hampered b…

SMHASH: A new mid-infrared RR Lyrae distance determination for the Local Group dwarf spheroidal galaxy Sculptor

Alessia Garofalo, Victoria Scowcroft, Gisella Clementini +12

We present a new distance estimation for the Milky Way dwarf spheroidal satellite Sculptor obtained from multi-epoch mid-infrared observations of RR Lyrae stars. The 3.6 μm observa…

Tidal Features at 0.05<z<0.45 in the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program: Properties and Formation Channels

Erin Kado-Fong, Jenny E. Greene, David Hendel +10

We present 1,201 galaxies at that host tidal features, detected from the first deg of imaging from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HS…
