Spectroscopic Confirmation of the Milky Way Satellites Boötes V and Leo Minor I and the LMC Satellite DELVE 2: Three Small Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxies

W. Cerny, M. Geha, J. D. Simon +22

We present the first multi-object spectroscopy of Boötes V, Leo Minor I, and DELVE 2 -- three small (20 pc 26 pc), ultra-faint () stellar syste…

Discovery, Characterization, and Potential Origins of a Stream in the Stellar Halo of Nearby LMC-Mass Galaxy NGC 55

Benjamin N. Velguth, Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil, Erik Tollerud +33

We present a previously undetected stellar stream in the halo of the LMC-mass dwarf galaxy NGC 55 (2 Mpc), as part of an ongoing effort to characterize the stellar halos of LMC/SMC…

Euclid: Data Release 1 (DR1) -- Fornax-7, an ultra-faint companion to the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy? A remote star cluster or dwarf satellite of the Fornax dSph

T. Saifollahi, A. Lançon, A. M. N. Ferguson +165

We report the discovery of an ultra-faint stellar system in the vicinity of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy in Euclid DR1. This system, which we designate Fornax-7, is lo…

Stellar streams around dwarf galaxies are observationally rare in the local Universe

Joanna D. Sakowska, David Martíınez-Delgado, Sarah Pearson +6

The frequency and properties of stellar streams around dwarf galaxies remain observationally under-explored. Building a statistically significant sample is challenging because dwar…

Euclid: The convective-transition gap of 47 Tuc

M. Libralato, M. Griggio, R. Gerasimov +140

We report the first detection of the `convective-transition gap' (also known as `M-dwarf gap') in the globular cluster 47 Tuc (NGC 104) thanks to Euclid data. This feature, linked…

The DECam MAGIC Survey: Uncovering the Tidal Tails of the Crater II Dwarf Galaxy

Kaia R. Atzberger, Andrew B. Pace, Nitya Kallivayalil +27

Crater II (CraII), a large and low-density dwarf spheroidal galaxy, has unusual observed properties that are difficult to reproduce in cold dark matter simulations. Ongoing tidal d…
