Dark Matter in Draco and Boötes I: Hints of a Core in an Ultra-Faint Dwarf from Simulation-Based Inference
Tri Nguyen, Lina Necib, Ting S. Li +8
The density profiles of dwarf spheroidal galaxies are among the most sensitive probes of dark matter physics, yet extracting them from noisy stellar kinematics remains a fundamenta…
Constraining the Galactic bar using the M92 stellar stream
Amanda Byström, Sergey E. Koposov, Ting. S. Li +42
Stellar streams are excellent probes of the gravitational potential in which they evolve. In the Milky Way (MW), globular cluster (GC) streams are routinely used to infer propertie…
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…
GD-1 Stellar Stream and Cocoon in the DESI Early Data Release
Monica Valluri, Parker Fagrelius, Sergey. E. Koposov +49
We present 115 new spectroscopically identified members of the GD-1 tidal stream observed with the 5000-fiber Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). We confirm the existence…
Merian: A Wide-Field Imaging Survey of Dwarf Galaxies at z~0.06-0.10
Shany Danieli, Erin Kado-Fong, Song Huang +32
We present the Merian Survey, an optical imaging survey optimized for studying the physical properties of bright star-forming dwarf galaxies. Merian is carried out with two medium-…
