Constraining the Milky Way Halo Accretion History With Simulated Stellar Halos: Designing the HALO7D-X Survey
Miranda Apfel, Kevin A. McKinnon, Constance M. Rockosi +2
We present the design for HALO7D-X, a survey of the stellar halo to investigate the accretion history of the Milky Way. The survey will use a combination of Hubble Space Telescope…
Dancing Streams In Merging Halos: Stellar Streams in a MW--LMC-like merger
Sachi Weerasooriya, Tjitske Starkenburg, Emily C. Cunningham +1
Stellar streams -- formed from tidally stripped globular clusters or dwarf galaxies -- are sensitive tracers of a galaxy's accretion history and gravitational potential. While nume…
In the Galactic disk, stellar [Fe/H] and age predict orbits and precise [X/Fe]
Melissa K. Ness, Kathryn V. Johnston, Kirsten Blancato +4
We explore the structure of the element abundance--age--orbit distribution of the stars in the Milky Way's low- disk, by (re-)deriving precise [Fe/H], [X/Fe] and ages, along wit…
Tidal Features at 0.05<z<0.45 in the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program: Properties and Formation Channels
Erin Kado-Fong, Jenny E. Greene, David Hendel +10
We present 1,201 galaxies at that host tidal features, detected from the first deg of imaging from the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program (HS…
APOGEE: The Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment
C. Allende Prieto, S. R. Majewski, R. Schiavon +8
APOGEE is a large-scale, NIR, high-resolution (R~20,000) spectroscopic survey of Galactic stars. It is one of the four experiments in SDSS-III. Because APOGEE will observe in the H…
The Nature and Origin of Substructure in the Outskirts of M31. I. Surveying the Stellar Content with HST/ACS
J. C. Richardson, A. M. N. Ferguson, R. A. Johnson +6
We present the largest and most detailed survey to date of the stellar populations in the outskirts of M31 based on the analysis of 14 deep HST/ACS pointings spanning the range 11.…
