The DECam MAGIC Survey: Uncovering the Tidal Tails of the Crater II Dwarf Galaxy
Kaia R. Atzberger, Andrew B. Pace, Nitya Kallivayalil +27
Crater II (CraII), a large and low-density dwarf spheroidal galaxy, has unusual observed properties that are difficult to reproduce in cold dark matter simulations. Ongoing tidal d…
Discovery and Spectroscopic Characterization of a Distant, Compact Milky Way Satellite in Gemini
K. Overdeck, W. Cerny, C. Y. Tan +27
We present the discovery of a compact Milky Way satellite in the constellation of Gemini. This system was discovered by cross-matching detections from two independent search algori…
The DECam MAGIC Survey Mapping the Ancient Galaxy in CaHK: Overview and Summary of Early Science
A. Chiti, A. Drlica-Wagner, A. B. Pace +42
We present the DECam Mapping the Ancient Galaxy in CaHK (MAGIC) survey, a 54-night NOIRLab Survey Program to image 5,000deg of the southern hemisphere using a meta…
A second-generation star in a relic dwarf galaxy
Anirudh Chiti, Vinicius M. Placco, Andrew B. Pace +22
Stars that contain only trace amounts of elements heavier than helium, referred to as having low "metallicity", preserve the chemical fingerprints of the first generation of stars…
The DELVE Quadruple Quasar Search I. A Lensed Low Luminosity AGN
Paul L. Schechter, Dominique Sluse, Erik A. Zaborowski +25
A quadruply lensed source, J125856.3-031944, has been discovered using the DELVE survey and WISE W1 - W2 colors. Followup direct imaging carried out with the Magellan Baade 6.5 m t…
Streams, Shells, and Substructures in the Accretion-Built Stellar Halo of NGC 300
Catherine E. Fielder, David J. Sand, Michael G. Jones +27
We present deep optical observations of the stellar halo of NGC 300, an LMC-mass galaxy, acquired with the DEEP sub-component of the DECam Local Volume Exploration survey (DELVE) u…
