The Merian Survey: A Statistical Census of Bright Satellites of Sub-Milky Way-Mass Galaxies
Lucas S. Mandacarú Guerra, Jiaxuan Li, Yue Pan +9
Satellite populations provide sensitive tests of the galaxy-halo connection, but studies have largely focused on Milky Way (MW)-mass host galaxies or a small number of nearby dwarf…
Benchmark Dark SMEFT Scenarios from the Interplay of Flavor Physics and Dark Matter Searches
Lipika Kolay, Soumitra Nandi, Ipsita Ray
We investigate the interplay between low-energy flavor physics and dark matter (DM) phenomenology within the dimension-6 dark Standard Model Effective Field Theory (dSMEFT), featur…
Morphologies of SAGAbg low-mass galaxies in Legacy Survey multi-band imaging: dependence on stellar masses, star-formation rates and low-redshift evolution
Joy Bhattacharyya, Guinevere Herron, Yasmeen Asali +4
The optical morphologies of low-mass galaxies can be used to directly trace their assembly and constrain models of galaxy evolution. We select a sample of 6211 low-mass ($7\lesssim…
Trends with Mass for Dwarf Galaxies from the Marvelous Massive Dwarfs Suite
Dilys Ruan, Alyson M. Brooks, Leonardo A. Barba +7
Galaxy formation scenarios can be interpreted through galaxy morphology and the level of rotational versus pressure support, quantified through the ratio of a galaxy's rotation spe…
Bypassed Core Formation in Milky Way-Mass SIDM Halos: Implications for the Local Group Past-Pericenter Scenario
Zhichao Carton Zeng, Odelia V. Hartl, Louis E. Strigari +4
We consider a scenario in which the Milky Way (MW) and M31 have had a previous pericentric passage, and investigate its compatibility with self-interacting dark matter (SIDM). Usin…
The Merian Survey: A Statistical Census of Bright Satellites of Milky Way Analogs
Yue Pan, Shany Danieli, Jenny E. Greene +10
We present a statistical census of bright, star-forming satellite galaxies around Milky Way (MW) analogs using the first data release of the Merian Survey. Our sample consists of 3…
Dwarf diversity in CDM with baryons
Akaxia Cruz, Alyson Brooks, Mariangela Lisanti +7
Observed rotation curves of dwarf galaxies exhibit significant diversity at fixed halo mass, challenging galaxy formation within the Cold Dark Matter (CDM) model. Previous cosmolog…
The Roman View of Strong Gravitational Lenses
Bryce Wedig, Tansu Daylan, Simon Birrer +13
Galaxy-galaxy strong gravitational lenses can constrain dark matter models and the Lambda Cold Dark Matter cosmological paradigm at sub-galactic scales. Currently, there is a deart…
The NGC3109 Satellite System: The First Systematic Resolved Search for Dwarf Galaxies Around a SMC-mass Host
Amandine Doliva-Dolinsky, Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil, Denija Crnojević +38
We report the results of the deepest search to date for dwarf galaxies around NGC3109, a barred spiral galaxy with a mass similar to that of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), using…
Dwarf Galaxies in the TNG50 Field: connecting their Star-formation Rates with their Environments
Joy Bhattacharyya, Annika H. G. Peter, Alexie Leauthaud
The dwarf galaxies comparable to the LMC and SMC, with stellar masses , are found in a diversity of environments and have long quenching tim…
Diversity and universality: evolution of dwarf galaxies with self-interacting dark matter
Zhichao Carton Zeng, Annika H. G. Peter, Xiaolong Du +4
Dark matter halos with self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) experience a unique evolutionary phenomenon, in that their central regions eventually collapse to high density through th…
Merian: A Wide-Field Imaging Survey of Dwarf Galaxies at z~0.06-0.10
Shany Danieli, Erin Kado-Fong, Song Huang +32
We present the Merian Survey, an optical imaging survey optimized for studying the physical properties of bright star-forming dwarf galaxies. Merian is carried out with two medium-…
A Nonparametric Morphological Analysis of H Emission in Bright Dwarfs Using the Merian Survey
Abby Mintz, Jenny E. Greene, Erin Kado-Fong +10
Using medium-band imaging from the newly released Merian Survey, we conduct a nonparametric morphological analysis of H emission maps and stellar continua for a sample of galaxi…
Segue 2 Recently Collided with the Cetus-Palca Stream: New Opportunities to Constrain Dark Matter in an Ultra-Faint Dwarf
Hayden R. Foote, Gurtina Besla, Nicolás Garavito-Camargo +7
Stellar streams in the Milky Way are promising detectors of low-mass dark matter (DM) subhalos predicted by CDM. Passing subhalos induce perturbations in streams that indicate t…
Environmental Quenching of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies near Milky Way mass Hosts
J. Bhattacharyya, A. H. G. Peter, P. Martini +48
Low Surface Brightness Galaxies (LSBGs) are excellent probes of quenching and other environmental processes near massive galaxies. We study an extensive sample of LSBGs near massiv…
3D stellar kinematics at the Galactic center: measuring the nuclear star cluster spatial density profile, black hole mass, and distance
T. Do, G. D. Martinez, S. Yelda +6
We present 3D kinematic observations of stars within the central 0.5 pc of the Milky Way nuclear star cluster using adaptive optics imaging and spectroscopy from the Keck telescope…
