Disentangling the Distant Stellar Halo Using K-Giants in the DESI Year 3 Data

Namitha Kizhuprakkat, Andrew P. Cooper, Wenting Wang +42

We present a sample of 88,959 K-giants from DESI Milky Way Survey Year 3 data, which we use to characterize the chemo-dynamical properties of the stellar halo at Galactocentric dis…

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 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…
