The Blue Jay Survey: Deep JWST Spectroscopy for a Representative Sample of Galaxies at Cosmic Noon
Sirio Belli, Letizia Bugiani, Minjung Park +17
We present the Blue Jay survey, a Cycle-1 JWST program aimed at studying the stellar and gas content of galaxies at Cosmic Noon. The survey consists of deep spectroscopy for 153 ta…
Invisible Accretion: Ionized Envelopes of TNG50 HVCs can Sustain Star Formation
Scott Lucchini, Jiwon Jesse Han, Lars Hernquist +2
Galactic high-velocity clouds (HVCs) are known to be complex, multiphase systems consisting of neutral and/or ionized gas moving at high velocities relative to the rotation of the…
Hypervelocity Stars Trace a Supermassive Black Hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Jiwon Jesse Han, Kareem El-Badry, Scott Lucchini +5
Hypervelocity stars (HVSs) are produced by the Hills mechanism when a stellar binary is disrupted by a supermassive black hole (SMBH). The HVS Survey detected 21 unbound B-type mai…
Mapping the Milky Way in 5-D with 170 Million Stars
Joshua S. Speagle, Catherine Zucker, Ana Bonaca +18
We present "augustus", a catalog of distance, extinction, and stellar parameter estimates to 170 million stars from and with dr…
Untangling Magellanic Streams
Dennis Zaritsky, Vedant Chandra, Charlie Conroy +3
The Magellanic Stream (MS) has long been known to contain multiple H I strands and corresponding stellar populations are beginning to be discovered. Combining a sample of 17 stars…
The Rapid Formation of the Metal Poor Milky Way
Turner Woody, Charlie Conroy, Phillip Cargile +6
Our understanding of the assembly timeline of the Milky Way has been transforming along with the dramatic increase in astrometric and spectroscopic data available over the past sev…
