Improved constraints on the Milky Way potential using the M68 stream and DESI spectroscopic data
Carles G. Palau, Wenting Wang, Jiaxin Han +41
We present a selection of stars belonging to the stellar stream of the M68 (NGC 4590) globular cluster, also known as Fjörm. This star selection is an improvement on previous ones…
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 FAST Hundred-Deg HI Deep (HD) Survey: Early Results from the Pilot Survey
Chen Xu, Yingjie Jing, Jie Wang +26
The Hundred-deg HI Deep (HD) survey carried out with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Telescope (FAST) is planned to map a contiguous region within the DESI DR1 fo…
PAC in DESI. I. Galaxy Stellar Mass Function into the Frontier
Kun Xu, Y. P. Jing, Shaun Cole +34
The Photometric Objects Around Cosmic Webs (PAC) method integrates cosmological photometric and spectroscopic surveys, offering valuable insights into galaxy formation. PAC measure…
The velocity field of our Milky Way outer stellar halo based on DESI DR2
Songting Li, Wenting Wang, Sergey E. Koposov +53
Using 64,000 halo K giants from Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) second Data Release (DR2), we decompose the Milky Way (MW) stellar halo between 3 and 160 kpc into metal…
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…
