A Glimpse of the Stellar Populations and Elemental Abundances of Gravitationally Lensed, Quiescent Galaxies at with Keck Deep Spectroscopy
Zhuyun Zhuang, Nicha Leethochawalit, Evan N. Kirby +13
Gravitational lenses can magnify distant galaxies, allowing us to discover and characterize the stellar populations of intrinsically faint, quiescent galaxies that are otherwise ex…
Elemental abundances in M31: Individual and Coadded Spectroscopic [Fe/H] and [α/Fe] throughout the M31 Halo with SPLASH
J. Leigh Wojno, Karoline M. Gilbert, Evan N. Kirby +6
We present spectroscopic chemical abundances of red giant branch (RGB) stars in Andromeda (M31), using medium resolution () spectra obtained via the Spectroscopic and Ph…
A non-interacting Galactic black hole candidate in a binary system with a main-sequence star
Sukanya Chakrabarti, Joshua D. Simon, Peter A. Craig +10
We describe the discovery of a solar neighborhood (d=468 pc) binary system with a main-sequence sunlike star and a massive non-interacting black hole candidate. The spectral energy…
The Hubble Space Telescope Survey of M31 Satellite Galaxies I. RR Lyrae-based Distances and Refined 3D Geometric Structure
Alessandro Savino, Daniel R. Weisz, Evan D. Skillman +33
We measure homogeneous distances to M31 and 38 associated stellar systems (16.8 6.0), using time-series observations of RR Lyrae stars taken as part of the Hubbl…
Structural parameters and possible association of the Ultra-Faint Dwarfs Pegasus III and Pisces II from deep Hubble Space Telescope photometry
Hannah Richstein, Ekta Patel, Nitya Kallivayalil +17
We present deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST) photometry of the ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) galaxies Pegasus III (Peg III) and Pisces II (Psc II), two of the most distant satellites in…
