Impact of LSST systematics on stellar-stream density fluctuations for dark matter
Matthieu Pélissier, Peter S. Ferguson, Alex Drlica-Wagner +6
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) is expected to significantly advance the study of Milky Way stellar streams. In particular, the deep, precise…
Morphologies of SAGAbg low-mass galaxies in Legacy Survey multi-band imaging: dependence on stellar masses, star-formation rates and low-redshift evolution
Joy Bhattacharyya, Guinevere Herron, Yasmeen Asali +4
The optical morphologies of low-mass galaxies can be used to directly trace their assembly and constrain models of galaxy evolution. We select a sample of 6211 low-mass ($7\lesssim…
Joint analysis of small-scale galaxy clustering and galaxy--galaxy lensing from BOSS galaxies
Wenhao Gao, Zhenjie Liu, Zhongxu Zhai +8
We present a joint analysis of galaxy clustering and galaxy--galaxy lensing measurements from BOSS galaxies using a simulation-based emulation method combined with a halo occupatio…
Shaping the Milky Way. II. The dark matter halo's response to the LMC's passage in a cosmological context
Elise Darragh-Ford, Nicolas Garavito-Camargo, Arpit Arora +15
The distribution of dark matter in the Milky Way (MW) is expected to exhibit a large-scale dynamical response to the recent infall of the LMC. This event produces a dynamical frict…
SAGAbg III: Environmental Stellar Mass Functions, Self-Quenching, and the Stellar-to-Halo Mass Relation in the Dwarf Galaxy Regime
Erin Kado-Fong, Yao-Yuan Mao, Yasmeen Asali +8
Recent efforts have extended our view of the number and properties of satellite galaxies beyond the Local Group firmly down to . A similarly complete…
The SAGA Survey. VI. The Size-Mass Relation for Low-Mass Galaxies Across Environments
Yasmeen Asali, Marla Geha, Erin Kado-Fong +10
We investigate how Milky Way-like environments influence the sizes and structural properties of low-mass galaxies by comparing satellites of Milky Way analogs from the Satellites A…
Predictions for the Detectability of Milky Way Satellite Galaxies and Outer-Halo Star Clusters with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory
Kabelo Tsiane, Sidney Mau, Alex Drlica-Wagner +8
We predict the sensitivity of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) to faint, resolved Milky Way satellite galaxies and outer-halo star clusters. We…
Tripling the Census of Dwarf AGN Candidates Using DESI Early Data
Ragadeepika Pucha, S. Juneau, Arjun Dey +46
Using early data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey, we search for AGN signatures in 410,757 line-emitting galaxies. By employing the BPT emission-line rat…
Temporal Evolution of the Radial Distribution of Milky Way Satellite Galaxies
Ekta Patel, Lipika Chatur, Yao-Yuan Mao
The Milky Way (MW) is surrounded by dozens of satellite galaxies, with six-dimensional (6D) phase space information measured for over 80% of this population. The spatial distributi…
SAGAbg II: the Low-Mass Star-Forming Sequence Evolves Significantly Between 0.05<z<0.21
Erin Kado-Fong, Marla Geha, Yao-Yuan Mao +8
The redshift-dependent relation between galaxy stellar mass and star formation rate (the Star-Forming Sequence, or SFS) is a key observational yardstick for galaxy assembly. We use…
Stellar Mass Calibrations for Local Low-Mass Galaxies
Mithi A. C. de los Reyes, Yasmeen Asali, Risa Wechsler +10
The stellar masses of galaxies are measured using integrated light via several methods -- however, few of these methods were designed for low-mass ($M_{\star}\lesssim10^{8}\rm{M_{\…
