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…
Galaxy mergers and disk angular momentum evolution: stellar halos as a critical test
Eric F. Bell, Richard D'Souza, Monica Valluri +1
We investigate the role of hierarchical assembly in the angular momentum (AM) evolution of galaxies using a sample of 471 Milky Way-mass galaxies from the TNG-50 simulation. While…
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 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…
