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…
The DECam MAGIC Survey: Uncovering the Tidal Tails of the Crater II Dwarf Galaxy
Kaia R. Atzberger, Andrew B. Pace, Nitya Kallivayalil +27
Crater II (CraII), a large and low-density dwarf spheroidal galaxy, has unusual observed properties that are difficult to reproduce in cold dark matter simulations. Ongoing tidal d…
Discovery and Spectroscopic Characterization of a Distant, Compact Milky Way Satellite in Gemini
K. Overdeck, W. Cerny, C. Y. Tan +27
We present the discovery of a compact Milky Way satellite in the constellation of Gemini. This system was discovered by cross-matching detections from two independent search algori…
The DECam MAGIC Survey Mapping the Ancient Galaxy in CaHK: Overview and Summary of Early Science
A. Chiti, A. Drlica-Wagner, A. B. Pace +42
We present the DECam Mapping the Ancient Galaxy in CaHK (MAGIC) survey, a 54-night NOIRLab Survey Program to image 5,000deg of the southern hemisphere using a meta…
Robust Measurement of Stellar Streams Around the Milky Way: Correcting Spatially Variable Observational Selection Effects in Optical Imaging Surveys
K. K. Boone, P. S. Ferguson, M. Tabbutt +47
Observations of density variations in stellar streams are a promising probe of low-mass dark matter substructure in the Milky Way. However, survey systematics such as variations in…
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…
