The SDSS-V Local Volume Mapper (LVM): Technical Overview

Guillermo A. Blanc, Niv Drory, Sebastián F. Sánchez +59

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey V (SDSS-V) Local Volume Mapper (LVM) is an ultra-wide integral field spectroscopic survey of the Milky Way, the Magellanic Clouds, and a sample of gala…

A 13 Year Black Hole Microlensing Survey in Omega Centauri

Zack Freeman, Maximilian Häberle, Anil Seth +11

Star clusters are born with massive stars that leave behind a large population of stellar mass black holes. These black holes may account for a large fraction of binary black hole…

SDSS-V Local Volume Mapper (LVM): The Integrated Light and Internal Rotation of Omega Centauri

Maximilian Häberle, Dmitry Bizyaev, Alina Boecker +34

The SDSS-V Local Volume Mapper (LVM) is a wide-field integral field spectroscopic survey of the Southern Milky Way plane, the Magellanic Clouds, and nearby Local Group galaxies. We…

A Long Period Stellar-Mass Black Hole Binary in Centauri

Matthew Whitaker, Evan Kerr, Anil Seth +16

Modern simulations of stellar dynamics in globular clusters peg a dominant role for stellar-mass black holes, but direct evidence for black holes in clusters remains limited. We pr…

oMEGACat. VII. Tracing Interstellar and Intracluster Medium of Centauri using Sodium Absorptions

Z. Wang, A. C. Seth, M. Latour +14

We investigate the foreground interstellar medium along the line of sight and intracluster medium of Centauri ( Cen) by measuring the equivalent width of Na I D absorptions…

Studying Binary Systems in Omega Centauri with MUSE: II. Observational constraints on the orbital period distribution

S. Saracino, S. Kamann, F. Wragg +8

Omega Centauri ( Cen) is one of the most complex star clusters in the Milky Way, and likely the stripped nucleus of an accreted dwarf galaxy. Being the subject of debate between…

oMEGACat III. Multi-band photometry and metallicities reveal spatially well-mixed populations within Centauri's half-light radius

M. S. Nitschai, N. Neumayer, M. Häberle +15

Centauri, the most massive globular cluster in the Milky Way, has long been suspected to be the stripped nucleus of a dwarf galaxy that fell into the Galaxy a long time ago. Th…

Fast-moving stars around an intermediate-mass black hole in Omega Centauri

Maximilian Häberle, Nadine Neumayer, Anil Seth +15

Black holes have been found over a wide range of masses, from stellar remnants with masses of 5-150 solar masses (Msun), to those found at the centers of galaxies with Msu…

Validating the Local Volume Mapper acquisition and guiding hardware

Maximilian Häberle, Thomas M. Herbst, Peter Bizenberger +13

The Local Volume Mapper (LVM) project is one of three surveys that form the Sloan Digital Sky Survey V. It will map the interstellar gas emission in a large fraction of the souther…
