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…
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…
Stellar Metallicities from DECam -band Photometry: A Study of Milky Way Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxies
Yue Pan, Anirudh Chiti, Alex Drlica-Wagner +5
We conducted an in-depth analysis of candidate member stars located in the peripheries of three ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) galaxy satellites of the Milky Way: Boötes I (Boo1), Boötes…
