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…
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 shape-velocity alignment of satellites forged by tidal locking and dynamical friction
Hao Yang, Wenting Wang, Ting S. Li +8
Utilizing the TNG50 simulation, we study two types of alignments for satellites/subhalos: 1) the alignment of their major axes with the galactocentric radial directions (radial ali…
: Tidal Disruption in Crater 2 and Formation of Diffuse Dwarf Galaxies in the Local Group
Guilherme Limberg, Alexander P. Ji, Ting S. Li +19
We present results of a spectroscopic campaign around the diffuse dwarf galaxy Crater 2 (Cra2) and its tidal tails as part of the Southern Stellar Stream Spectroscopic Survey ($S^5…
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…
The Draco Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy in the First Year of DESI Data
J. Ding, C. Rockosi, Ting S. Li +40
We investigate the spatial distribution, kinematics, and metallicity of stars in the Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy using data from the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI).…
The mass of the Milky Way from outer halo stars measured by DESI DR1
Gustavo E. Medina, Ting S. Li, Gwendolyn M. Eadie +50
As a benchmark for galaxy evolution and dark matter studies, the total mass of the Milky Way is a parameter of cosmological significance, and its value at large radii from the Gala…
The dark matter content of Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies: Draco, Sextans and Ursa Minor
Hao Yang, Wenting Wang, Ling Zhu +50
The Milky Way Survey of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) has so far observed three classical dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs): Draco, Sextans and Ursa Minor. Based…
Nearby stellar substructures in the Galactic halo from DESI Milky Way Survey Year 1 Data Release
Bokyoung Kim, Sergey E. Koposov, Ting S. Li +41
We report five nearby ( kpc) stellar substructures in the Galactic halo from a subset of 138,661 stars in the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Mi…
DESI Data Release 1: Stellar Catalogue
Sergey E. Koposov, Ting S. Li, C. Allende Prieto +65
In this paper we present the stellar Value-Added Catalogue (VAC) based on the DESI Data Release 1. This VAC contains stellar parameter, abundance and radial velocity measurements f…
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…

Christian Aganze, Vedant Chandra, Risa H. Wechsler +48
The census of stellar streams and dwarf galaxies in the Milky Way provides direct constraints on galaxy formation models and the nature of dark matter. The DESI Milky Way survey --…
The DESI Y1 RR Lyrae catalog I: Empirical modeling of the cyclic variation of spectroscopic properties and a chemodynamical analysis of the outer halo
