Neighbors, Not Kin: Kinematic evidence for tidal tails from NGC 7492 along the Sagittarius stream

Camila Navarrete, Álvaro Rojas-Arriagada, Andrés E. Piatti +8

The formation, extension, and morphology of extra-tidal stars around globular clusters depend on the internal kinematics of the host cluster and the Galactic potential. Tracing the…

1000 cataclysmic variables identified from DESI spectroscopy

K. Inight, B. T. Gänsicke, A. Aungwerojwit +41

Most cataclysmic variables (CVs) are discovered when they have an outburst generating an inherent selection bias against CVs that rarely, or never, outburst. CVs discovered by virt…

First planetesimals from DESI DR1: 12 highly metal-rich white dwarfs

Paula Izquierdo, Andrew Swan, Boris T. Gänsicke +43

Metal-enriched white dwarfs provide a unique insight into the composition of exoplanet interiors. These stars accrete the debris of disrupted planetary bodies, and hence, measuring…

Boötes III is a Tidally Disrupting Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxy on an Eccentric Polar Orbit

Ting S. Li, Denis Erkal, Andrew B. Pace +20

We present updated systemic properties of the ultra-faint dwarf galaxy Boötes III from the Southern Stellar Stream Spectroscopic Survey (S). We identify 21 high-probability mem…

Constraints on the population level distribution of nearby Dark Matter halo shapes with extragalactic streams

David Chemaly, Elisabeth Sola, Sergey Koposov +3

Stellar streams trace the gravitational potential of their host galaxies and provide a sensitive probe of dark matter halo structure. Previously, we developed, and tested on simula…

Disentangling the Distant Stellar Halo Using K-Giants in the DESI Year 3 Data

Namitha Kizhuprakkat, Andrew P. Cooper, Wenting Wang +42

We present a sample of 88,959 K-giants from DESI Milky Way Survey Year 3 data, which we use to characterize the chemo-dynamical properties of the stellar halo at Galactocentric dis…
