Detailed Chemical Abundance Analysis of the Brightest Stars in the Turranburra and Willka Yaku Stellar Streams

Kaitlin B. Webber, Terese T. Hansen, Jennifer L. Marshall +20

We present a detailed chemical abundance analysis of the three brightest known stars from each of the Turranburra and Willka Yaku stellar streams using high-resolution Magellan/MIK…

No Observational Evidence for Dark Matter Nor a Large Metallicity Spread in the Extreme Milky Way Satellite Ursa Major III / UNIONS 1

William Cerny, Daisy Bissonette, Alexander P. Ji +9

The extremely-low-luminosity, compact Milky Way satellite Ursa Major III / UNIONS 1 (UMaIII/U1; ; pc) was found to have a substantial velocity d…

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…

Flipping of the tidal tails of the Ophiuchus stream due to the decelerating Galactic bar

Yong Yang, Geraint F. Lewis, Denis Erkal +16

The Ophiuchus stellar stream presents a puzzle due to its complicated morphology, with a substructure perpendicular to the main track (spur), a broadened tail (fanning), and a shor…
