Joint Modeling of GD-1 and C-19 as Old Streams

Raymond G. Carlberg, Ting S. Li, Emma Jarvis +39

DESI observational data for the GD-1 and C-19 streams are compared to stream simulations in a common evolving multi-halo potential of a Milky Way-like galaxy based on a cosmologica…

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…

Constraining the Galactic bar using the M92 stellar stream

Amanda Byström, Sergey E. Koposov, Ting. S. Li +42

Stellar streams are excellent probes of the gravitational potential in which they evolve. In the Milky Way (MW), globular cluster (GC) streams are routinely used to infer propertie…

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…
