The James Webb Space Telescope Absolute Flux Calibration. VI. Near-Infrared Camera Imaging and Coronagraphy
Martha L. Boyer, Benjamin Sunnquist, Bryan Hilbert +4
We present an updated flux calibration for all imaging modes of the Near-Infrared Camera on JWST that converts instrumental units to physical surface brightness units of MJy sr^-1.…
Deep Imaging of Grus II and Horologium II: Structure and Extent of Two Ultra-Faint Milky Way Satellites
Deepthi S. Prabhu, David J. Sand, Anirudh Chiti +29
We present deep, wide-field Magellan/Megacam imaging of the ultra-faint Milky Way (MW) satellites Grus II (Gru II) and Horologium II (Hor II), with the aim of deriving improved con…
Reconstructing the orbits of Milky Way dwarf galaxies: An LMC perspective
Alberto Manuel MartÃnez-GarcÃa, Andrés del Pino, Roeland P. van der Marel +14
The orbital histories of the dwarf satellites of the Milky Way (MW) are key to understanding their evolution and placing their present-day properties in a dynamical context. We pre…
Hubble Astrometry for the Local Group and Beyond in the 2030s
S. Tony Sohn, Paul Bennet, Kevin Andrew McKinnon +23
Hubble's long, stable astrometric baseline creates a rare opportunity for discovery in the Local Group and beyond. Many nearby galaxies, streams, and star clusters already have arc…
ID-MAGE II: The Star Forming Satellites of Low-Mass Hosts
Laura Congreve Hunter, Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil, Michael B. Farnell +14
We present results from our ongoing campaign to follow up the satellite candidates from the Identifying Dwarfs of MC Analog GalaxiEs (ID-MAGE) survey. Previously, we published a li…
Encounters Between M33 and Present-Day M31 Satellites Hint at a Previous Group Accretion
Ekta Patel, Paul Bennet, Sangmo Tony Sohn +2
This work investigates whether two known Andromeda (M31) satellites, Pisces (LGS 3) and Andromeda XVI, have interacted with M33, M31's most massive satellite. CDM predictions i…
