It's a matter of time: Empirical Constraints on Supernova Yields and Delay Times from Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies

Mairéad E. Heiger, Alexander P. Ji, Joshua S. Speagle +6

The chemical abundances of a stellar population encode information about nucleosynthesis and its astrophysical sites, but this information is confounded by the specific star format…

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…

The Cocytos Stream: A Disrupted Globular Cluster from our Last Major Merger?

Christian Aganze, Vedant Chandra, Risa H. Wechsler +48

The census of stellar streams and dwarf galaxies in the Milky Way provides direct constraints on galaxy formation models and the nature of dark matter. The DESI Milky Way survey --…

Deep Photometric Observations of Ultra-Faint Milky Way Satellites Centaurus I and Eridanus IV

Quinn O. Casey, Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil, David J. Sand +19

We present deep MagellanMegacam imaging of Centaurus I (Cen I) and Eridanus IV (Eri IV), two recently discovered Milky Way ultra-faint satellites. Our data reach magni…

Reading Between the (Spectral) Lines: Magellan/IMACS spectroscopy of the Ultra-faint Dwarf Galaxies Eridanus IV and Centaurus I

M. E. Heiger, T. S. Li, A. B. Pace +17

We present a spectroscopic analysis of Eridanus IV (Eri IV) and Centaurus I (Cen I), two ultra-faint dwarf galaxies of the Milky Way. Using IMACS/Magellan spectroscopy, we identify…

Spectroscopic analysis of Milky Way outer halo satellites: Aquarius II and Bootes II

Jordan Bruce, Ting S. Li, Andrew B. Pace +3

In this paper we present a chemical and kinematic analysis of two ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs), Aquarius II (Aqu~II) and \text{Boötes II} (Boo~II), using Magellan/IMACS spectr…

The RR Lyrae Delay-Time Distribution: A Novel Perspective on Models of Old Stellar Populations

Sumit K. Sarbadhicary, Mairead Heiger, Carles Badenes +6

The delay-time distribution (DTD) is the occurrence rate of a class of objects as a function of time after a hypothetical burst of star formation. DTDs are mainly used as a statist…
