: Mapping Vertical Phase Spiral Characteristics Throughout the Real and Simulated Milky Way
Elise Darragh-Ford, Jason A. S. Hunt, Adrian M. Price-Whelan +1
The recent discovery of a spiral pattern in the vertical kinematic structure in the solar neighborhood provides a prime opportunity to study non-equilibrium dynamics in the Milky W…
Target Selection and Sample Characterization for the DESI LOW-Z Secondary Target Program
Elise Darragh-Ford, John F. Wu, Yao-Yuan Mao +39
We introduce the DESI LOW-Z Secondary Target Survey, which combines the wide-area capabilities of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) with an efficient, low-redshift ta…
Six More Ultra-Faint Milky Way Companions Discovered in the DECam Local Volume Exploration Survey
W. Cerny, C. E. Martínez-Vázquez, A. Drlica-Wagner +28
We report the discovery of six ultra-faint Milky Way satellites discovered through matched-filter searches conducted using Dark Energy Camera (DECam) data processed as part of the…
Multiple phase spirals suggest multiple origins in Gaia DR3
Jason A. S. Hunt, Adrian M. Price-Whelan, Kathryn V. Johnston +1
{\it Gaia} Data Release 2 (DR2) revealed that the Milky Way contains significant indications of departures from equilibrium in the form of asymmetric features in the phase space de…
Searching for Dwarf Galaxies in DR2 Phase-Space Data Using Wavelet Transforms
Elise Darragh-Ford, Ethan O. Nadler, Sean McLaughlin +1
We present a wavelet-based algorithm to identify dwarf galaxies in the Milky Way in DR2 data. Our algorithm detects overdensities in 4D position--proper motion space,…
