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 open cluster NGC 2509. Stellar rotation and main sequence turnoff extension from FLAMES spectroscopy
C. Boeche, J. Alonso-Santiago, A. Bragaglia +8
NGC 2509 is a distant (~2.5 kpc) and little-studied open cluster located in the third Galactic quadrant. It is a moderately old cluster, whose age has not yet been precisely determ…
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…
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…
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…
