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…
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…
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…
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…
The Milky Way stellar halo is twisted and doubly broken: insights from DESI DR2 Milky Way Survey observation
Songting Li, Wenting Wang, Sergey E. Koposov +45
Using K giants from the second data release (DR2) of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Milky Way (MW) Survey, we measure the shape, orientation, radial profile, and d…
