Forecasting Dark Matter Subhalo Constraints from Stellar Streams using Implicit Likelihood Inference

Tri Nguyen, Rutong Pei, Zhuofu Li +9

The evidence for dark matter (DM) remains compelling, although attempts to understand its particle nature remain inconclusive. One promising method to study DM is detecting DM subh…

Auriga Streams III: the mass-metallicity relation does not rule out tidal mass loss in Local Group satellites

Alexander H. Riley, Rebekka Bieri, Alis J. Deason +6

The mass-metallicity relation is a fundamental galaxy scaling law that has been extended to the faintest systems in the Local Group. We show that the small scatter in this relation…

The mass of the Milky Way from outer halo stars measured by DESI DR1

Gustavo E. Medina, Ting S. Li, Gwendolyn M. Eadie +50

As a benchmark for galaxy evolution and dark matter studies, the total mass of the Milky Way is a parameter of cosmological significance, and its value at large radii from the Gala…

Not-so-heavy metal(s): Chemical Abundances in the Ultra-faint Dwarf Galaxies Eridanus IV and Centaurus I

Mairéad E Heiger, Alexander P Ji, Ting S Li +18

We present detailed chemical abundances of the brightest star in each of the ultra-faint dwarf galaxies Eridanus IV and Centaurus I using high-resolution Magellan/MIKE spectroscopy…

The dark matter content of Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies: Draco, Sextans and Ursa Minor

Hao Yang, Wenting Wang, Ling Zhu +50

The Milky Way Survey of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has so far observed three classical dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs): Draco, Sextans and Ursa Minor. Based…

The DECam MAGIC Survey: Spectroscopic Follow-up of the Most Metal-Poor Stars in the Distant Milky Way Halo

Vinicius M. Placco, Guilherme Limberg, Anirudh Chiti +21

In this work, we present high-resolution spectroscopic observations for six metal-poor stars with [Fe/H]<-3 (including one with [Fe/H]<-4), selected using narrow-band Ca II HK phot…

Nearby stellar substructures in the Galactic halo from DESI Milky Way Survey Year 1 Data Release

Bokyoung Kim, Sergey E. Koposov, Ting S. Li +41

We report five nearby ( kpc) stellar substructures in the Galactic halo from a subset of 138,661 stars in the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Mi…

The Cocytos Stream: A Disrupted Globular Cluster from our Last Major Merger?

Christian Aganze, Vedant Chandra, Risa H. Wechsler +48

The census of stellar streams and dwarf galaxies in the Milky Way provides direct constraints on galaxy formation models and the nature of dark matter. The DESI Milky Way survey --…

Streams, Shells, and Substructures in the Accretion-Built Stellar Halo of NGC 300

Catherine E. Fielder, David J. Sand, Michael G. Jones +27

We present deep optical observations of the stellar halo of NGC 300, an LMC-mass galaxy, acquired with the DEEP sub-component of the DECam Local Volume Exploration survey (DELVE) u…
