Constraining the population of dark matter halo shapes using hierarchical inference with extragalactic stellar streams
David Chemaly, Elisabeth Sola, Vasily Belokurov +4
Stellar streams, the debris of tidally disrupted satellites, trace their host's gravitational potential and thus probe dark matter halo structure. While six-dimensional phase-space…
Boötes III is a Tidally Disrupting Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxy on an Eccentric Polar Orbit
Ting S. Li, Denis Erkal, Andrew B. Pace +20
We present updated systemic properties of the ultra-faint dwarf galaxy Boötes III from the Southern Stellar Stream Spectroscopic Survey (S). We identify 21 high-probability me…
Constraints on the population level distribution of nearby Dark Matter halo shapes with extragalactic streams
David Chemaly, Elisabeth Sola, Sergey Koposov +3
Stellar streams trace the gravitational potential of their host galaxies and provide a sensitive probe of dark matter halo structure. Previously, we developed, and tested on simula…
Sifting for a Stream: The Morphology of the Stellar Stream
Benjamin Cohen, Alexander P. Ji, Peter S. Ferguson +18
Stellar streams are sensitive laboratories for understanding the small-scale structure in our Galaxy's gravitational field. Here, we analyze the morphology of the stellar st…
Ultra-Faint Milky Way Satellites Discovered in Carina, Phoenix, and Telescopium with DELVE Data Release 3
C. Y. Tan, W. Cerny, A. B. Pace +76
We report the discovery of three Milky Way satellite candidates: Carina IV, Phoenix III, and DELVE 7, in the third data release of the DECam Local Volume Exploration survey (DELVE)…
Epicyclic Density Variations in the Indus Stellar Stream
Yong Yang, Geraint F. Lewis, Ting S. Li +12
Longitudinal density fluctuations observed in stellar streams can result from gravitational interactions with massive perturbers in the Milky Way, such as dark matter subhalos. Ana…
