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…
Resolving Star Cluster Formation in Galaxy Simulations with Cosmic Ray Feedback
Brandon Sike, Mateusz Ruszkowski, Oleg Y. Gnedin +4
Star clusters host the massive stars responsible for feedback in star-forming galaxies. Stellar feedback shapes the interstellar medium (ISM), affecting the formation of future sta…
The DESI Y1 RR Lyrae catalog I: Empirical modeling of the cyclic variation of spectroscopic properties and a chemodynamical analysis of the outer halo
Gustavo E. Medina, Ting S. Li, Sergey E. Koposov +44
We present the catalog of RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) observed in the first year of operations of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) survey. This catalog contains 6,240 RRLs…
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…
Tracing the relic nature of compact galaxies through their globular cluster systems
Micheli T. Moura, Ana L. Chies-Santos, Cristina Furlanetto +6
We investigate the synthetic model of globular cluster (GC) systems of 17 compact massive galaxies (CMGs) from the Illustris TNG100 simulation to explore their connection with mass…
