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…
The Metallicity Distribution of the Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxy Segue 1
Daisy Bissonette, Alexander P. Ji, Joshua D. Simon +6
Ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs, ) offer unique insights into early chemical evolution in low-mass systems. However, interpreting their metallicity distributio…
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…
Chemical Abundances in the Metal-Poor Globular Cluster ESO 280-SC06: A Formerly Massive, Tidally Disrupted Globular Cluster
Sam A. Usman, Alexander P. Ji, Jandrie Rodriguez +6
We present the first high-resolution abundance study of ESO 280-SC06, one of the least luminous and most metal-poor gravitationally bound Milky Way globular clusters. Using Magella…
Multiple Populations and a CH Star Found in the 300S Globular Cluster Stellar Stream
Sam A. Usman, Alexander P. Ji, Ting S. Li +14
Milky Way globular clusters (GCs) display chemical enrichment in a phenomenon called multiple stellar populations (MSPs). While the enrichment mechanism is not fully understood, th…
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…
