HRMOS: A High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph for the VLT
Laura Magrini, Thomas Bensby, Sofia Randich +174
This White Paper presents the scientific rationale and instrument concept for HRMOS (High-Resolution Multi-Object Spectrograph), a next-generation instrument proposed for the ESO V…
Galactic Archaeology with the Subaru `Ånohi`ula Prime Focus Spectrograph Strategic Program
Masashi Chiba, Rosemary F. G. Wyse, Evan N. Kirby +47
The recently commissioned Subaru `Ånohi`ula Prime Focus Spectrograph (PFS) will obtain spectra from nearly 2,400 fibers that cover 1.24 square degrees. The 360 night Subaru Strate…
Machine Learning Techniques to Distinguish Giant Stars from Dwarf Stars Using Only Photometry -- Pushing Redwards
Keyi Ding, Carrie Filion, Rosemary F. G. Wyse +6
We present our photometric method, which combines Subaru/HSC , g, and i band filters to distinguish giant stars in Local Group galaxies from Milky Way dwarf contamination. T…
The Extended Stellar Distribution in the Outskirts of the Ursa Minor Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
Kyosuke S. Sato, Sakurako Okamoto, Masafumi Yagi +7
We discover an extended distribution of main-sequence (MS) stars along the minor axis of the Ursa Minor (UMi) dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph). This study is enabled by deep, wide Su…
The Star Formation and Chemical Evolution Histories of Ursa Minor Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
Kyosuke S. Sato, Yutaka Komiyama, Sakurako Okamoto +8
We derive the star formation history (SFH) and chemical evolution history (CEH) of the Ursa Minor (UMi) dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph). We detect two distinct stellar populations t…
