Hidden Disruption in Milky Way-like Satellite Galaxy Populations
Gray Thoron, Nora Shipp, Alexander H. Riley +9
Determining whether a satellite galaxy is tidally disrupting from photometric observations alone remains a fundamental challenge in near-field cosmology. Cosmological simulations o…
EDGE-INFERNO: The chemical signatures of assembly history in reionization fossils
Eric P. Andersson, Martin P. Rey, Alexander P. Ji +9
In galaxies, stellar populations represent a superposition of both in situ and accreted components, tracing internal chemical evolution as well as the histories of merged satellite…
Discovery, Characterization, and Potential Origins of a Stream in the Stellar Halo of Nearby LMC-Mass Galaxy NGC 55
Benjamin N. Velguth, Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil, Erik Tollerud +33
We present a previously undetected stellar stream in the halo of the LMC-mass dwarf galaxy NGC 55 (2 Mpc), as part of an ongoing effort to characterize the stellar halos of LMC/SMC…
Rubin Observatory Reveals a Dust-Shrouded Halo Globular Cluster in Ophiuchus
Aashay Pai, William Cerny, Andrew B. Pace +9
We present the discovery of the Milky Way satellite Rubin-GC1 (Rubin J1628-1735) using data from the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Early Data Preview 2. The system was discov…
The Carbon-Dependent Binary Frequency of CEMP-no Stars
John D. Dixon, Terese T. Hansen, Jennifer Marshall +15
Studies of the oldest and most metal-poor stars in the Milky Way confirm a common chemical signature of high carbon abundances and subsolar neutron-capture enrichment. The so-calle…
Deep Imaging of Grus II and Horologium II: Structure and Extent of Two Ultra-Faint Milky Way Satellites
Deepthi S. Prabhu, David J. Sand, Anirudh Chiti +29
We present deep, wide-field Magellan/Megacam imaging of the ultra-faint Milky Way (MW) satellites Grus II (Gru II) and Horologium II (Hor II), with the aim of deriving improved con…
Disentangling the Distant Stellar Halo Using K-Giants in the DESI Year 3 Data
Namitha Kizhuprakkat, Andrew P. Cooper, Wenting Wang +42
We present a sample of 88,959 K-giants from DESI Milky Way Survey Year 3 data, which we use to characterize the chemo-dynamical properties of the stellar halo at Galactocentric dis…
The Milky Way's Missing In-Situ Halo
Madeline Lucey, Robyn E. Sanderson, Alexander H. Riley +3
The Milky Way's stellar halo preserves a record of its mass assembly history, encoding accretion events in its structural properties. Among the most prominent of these features is…
Constraining the Galactic bar using the M92 stellar stream
Amanda Byström, Sergey E. Koposov, Ting. S. Li +42
Stellar streams are excellent probes of the gravitational potential in which they evolve. In the Milky Way (MW), globular cluster (GC) streams are routinely used to infer propertie…
Characterizing the GD-1 Stream with DESI DR2 Data: Thin Stream and Hot Cocoon
Emma Jarvis, Ting S. Li, Sergey E. Koposov +54
GD-1 is among the longest, coldest stellar streams in the Milky Way, making it an ideal target for probing dark matter substructure through dynamical heating. We present a catalog…
The impact of disc disruption on Milky Way satellite counts
Mark R. Lovell, Alexander H. Riley, Isabel Santos-Santos
Estimates for the total number of Milky Way (MW) satellites are often generated from a combination of the observed number of satellites in surveys, adjustments for the completeness…
The Kinematically Hot, Extremely Metal-Poor C-19 Stellar Stream in DESI DR2
Nasser Mohammed, Joseph Y. Tang, Ting S. Li +47
Stellar streams are the result of a host galaxy's gravitational potential tidally disrupting satellite dwarf galaxies and globular clusters (GCs), causing them to grow leading and…
