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 GALAH Survey: Neutron-Capture Elemental Abundances for 350,000 Gaia-RVS Spectra and the Chemodynamics of Accreted Structures
Pradosh Barun Das, Daniel B. Zucker, Aldo Mura-Guzmán +16
We present a comprehensive data-driven spectroscopic analysis of 357,415 red giant stars using Gaia DR3 Radial Velocity Spectrometer (RVS) spectra (8460-8700 A; ),…
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…
The DECam MAGIC Survey: Investigating the Jet Stellar Stream with Photometric Metallicities
H. Q. Do, A. Chiti, P. S. Ferguson +27
Stellar streams are dynamically fragile structures formed by the tidal disruption of dwarf galaxies and stellar clusters. These objects are valuable tracers of the gravitational po…
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…
Searching for and characterizing halo substructures with the GALAH DR4 survey
Iryna Kushniruk, Kristopher Youakim, Karin Lind +12
Recent studies show that the Milky Way stellar halo is composed of populations of different origins, shaped by multiple accretion events. To better understand the formation of the…
