Signatures of a Tidally Induced Spiral Arm at the Anticenter of the Milky Way and a Kinematically Extended Anticenter Stream Using DESI DR2
Mika Lambert, Constance M. Rockosi, Sergey E. Koposov +46
Using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument Milky Way Survey (DESI MWS), we examine the 6D space of the anticenter region of the stellar disk (150 Galactic longitude…
Joint Modeling of GD-1 and C-19 as Old Streams
Raymond G. Carlberg, Ting S. Li, Emma Jarvis +39
DESI observational data for the GD-1 and C-19 streams are compared to stream simulations in a common evolving multi-halo potential of a Milky Way-like galaxy based on a cosmologica…
The DESI Y1 RR Lyrae catalog II: The metallicity dependency of pulsational properties, the shape of the RR Lyrae instability strip, and metal rich RR Lyrae
Gustavo E. Medina, Ting S. Li, C. Allende Prieto +39
RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) are valuable probes of both Milky Way assembly and stellar-evolution physics. Using a sample 6,240 RRLs obtained in the first year of the Dark Energy Spectros…
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…
Data Release 1 of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument
DESI Collaboration, M. Abdul Karim, A. G. Adame +306
In 2021 May the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) collaboration began a 5-year spectroscopic redshift survey to produce a detailed map of the evolving three-dimensional s…
