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…
Ultra-Faint Milky Way Satellites Discovered in Carina, Phoenix, and Telescopium with DELVE Data Release 3
C. Y. Tan, W. Cerny, A. B. Pace +76
We report the discovery of three Milky Way satellite candidates: Carina IV, Phoenix III, and DELVE 7, in the third data release of the DECam Local Volume Exploration survey (DELVE)…
A nearly pristine star from the Large Magellanic Cloud
Alexander P. Ji, Vedant Chandra, Selenna Mejias-Torres +28
The first stars formed out of pristine gas, causing them to be so massive that none are expected to have survived until today. If their direct descendants were sufficiently low-mas…
DELVE Milky Way Satellite Galaxy Census I: Satellite Population and Survey Selection Function in DES, DELVE, and Pan-STARRS
C. Y. Tan, A. Drlica-Wagner, A. B. Pace +84
The properties of Milky Way satellite galaxies have important implications for galaxy formation, reionization, and the fundamental physics of dark matter. However, the population o…
The Dark Energy Camera All Data Everywhere cosmic shear project V: Constraints on cosmology and astrophysics from 270 million galaxies across 13,000 deg of the sky
D. Anbajagane, C. Chang, A. Drlica-Wagner +78
We present constraints on models of cosmology and astrophysics using cosmic shear data vectors from three datasets: the northern and southern Galactic cap of the Dark Energy Camera…
Not-so-heavy metal(s): Chemical Abundances in the Ultra-faint Dwarf Galaxies Eridanus IV and Centaurus I
Mairéad E Heiger, Alexander P Ji, Ting S Li +18
We present detailed chemical abundances of the brightest star in each of the ultra-faint dwarf galaxies Eridanus IV and Centaurus I using high-resolution Magellan/MIKE spectroscopy…
A second-generation star in a relic dwarf galaxy
Anirudh Chiti, Vinicius M. Placco, Andrew B. Pace +22
Stars that contain only trace amounts of elements heavier than helium, referred to as having low "metallicity", preserve the chemical fingerprints of the first generation of stars…
Mapping the Distant and Metal-Poor Milky Way with SDSS-V
Vedant Chandra, Phillip A. Cargile, Alexander P. Ji +28
The fifth-generation Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS-V) is conducting the first all-sky low-resolution spectroscopic survey of the Milky Way's stellar halo. We describe the stellar…
The DECam MAGIC Survey: Spectroscopic Follow-up of the Most Metal-Poor Stars in the Distant Milky Way Halo
Vinicius M. Placco, Guilherme Limberg, Anirudh Chiti +21
In this work, we present high-resolution spectroscopic observations for six metal-poor stars with [Fe/H]<-3 (including one with [Fe/H]<-4), selected using narrow-band Ca II HK phot…
Spectroscopic Analysis of Pictor II: a very low metallicity ultra-faint dwarf galaxy bound to the Large Magellanic Cloud
A. B. Pace, T. S. Li, A. P. Ji +30
We present Magellan/IMACS and Magellan/MIKE spectroscopy of the ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) galaxy Pictor~II (Pic~II) that is located only 12 kpc from the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).…
The NGC3109 Satellite System: The First Systematic Resolved Search for Dwarf Galaxies Around a SMC-mass Host
Amandine Doliva-Dolinsky, Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil, Denija Crnojević +38
We report the results of the deepest search to date for dwarf galaxies around NGC3109, a barred spiral galaxy with a mass similar to that of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), using…
DELVE-DEEP Survey: The Faint Satellite System of NGC 55
Jonah Medoff, Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil, Jeffrey L. Carlin +24
We report the first comprehensive census of the satellite dwarf galaxies around NGC 55 ( Mpc) as a part of the DECam Local Volume Exploration DEEP (DELVE-DEEP) survey. NGC 55…
The DECam MAGIC Survey: A Wide-field Photometric Metallicity Study of the Sculptor Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
Fabrícia O. Barbosa, Anirudh Chiti, Guilherme Limberg +26
The metallicity distribution function and internal chemical variations of a galaxy are fundamental to understand its formation and assembly history. In this work, we analyze photom…
