Hidden in the Halo: New Diffuse Star Clusters in the M82 Starburst with JWST
Deepthi S. Prabhu, David J. Sand, Burcin Mutlu-Pakdil +12
Diffuse star clusters (DSCs) occupy a poorly explored region of the size-luminosity plane between classical globular clusters (GCs) and dwarf galaxies. Here we report the discovery…
Discovery, Characterization, and Potential Origins of a Stream in the Stellar Halo of Nearby LMC-Mass Galaxy NGC 55
Benjamin N. Velguth, Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil, Erik Tollerud +33
We present a previously undetected stellar stream in the halo of the LMC-mass dwarf galaxy NGC 55 (2 Mpc), as part of an ongoing effort to characterize the stellar halos of LMC/SMC…
Deep Imaging of Grus II and Horologium II: Structure and Extent of Two Ultra-Faint Milky Way Satellites
Deepthi S. Prabhu, David J. Sand, Anirudh Chiti +29
We present deep, wide-field Magellan/Megacam imaging of the ultra-faint Milky Way (MW) satellites Grus II (Gru II) and Horologium II (Hor II), with the aim of deriving improved con…
Reconstructing the orbits of Milky Way dwarf galaxies: A Large Magellanic Cloud perspective
Alberto Manuel Martínez-García, Andrés del Pino, Roeland P. van der Marel +14
The orbital histories of the dwarf satellites of the Milky Way (MW) are key to understanding their evolution and placing their present-day properties in a dynamical context. We pre…
ID-MAGE II: The Star Forming Satellites of Low-Mass Hosts
Laura Congreve Hunter, Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil, Michael B. Farnell +14
We present results from our ongoing campaign to follow up the satellite candidates from the Identifying Dwarfs of MC Analog GalaxiEs (ID-MAGE) survey. Previously, we published a li…
Encounters Between M33 and Present-Day M31 Satellites Hint at a Previous Group Accretion
Ekta Patel, Paul Bennet, Sangmo Tony Sohn +2
This work investigates whether two known Andromeda (M31) satellites, Pisces (LGS 3) and Andromeda XVI, have interacted with M33, M31's most massive satellite. CDM predictions im…
The Proper Motion of Draco II with HST using Multiple Reference Frames and Methodologies
Jack T. Warfield, Kevin A. McKinnon, Sangmo Tony Sohn +13
We present proper motion (PM) measurements for Draco II, an ultra-faint dwarf satellite of the Milky Way. These PMs are measured using two epochs of Hubble Space Telescope Advanced…
The Orbits of Isolated Dwarfs in the Local Group from New 3D Kinematics: Constraints on First Infall, Backsplash, and Quenching Mechanisms
Paul Bennet, Ekta Patel, Sangmo Tony Sohn +8
It is commonly supposed that quenched field dwarfs near the edge of the Local Group (LG) are backsplash galaxies, having previously orbited within the Milky Way (MW) or M31's viria…
HSTPROMO Internal Proper Motion Kinematics of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies: II. Velocity Anisotropy and Dark Matter Cusp Slope of Sculptor
Eduardo Vitral, Roeland P. van der Marel, Sangmo Tony Sohn +8
We analyze three epochs of HST imaging over 20 years for the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy, measuring precise proper motions for 119 stars and combining them with 1760 existing…
The NGC3109 Satellite System: The First Systematic Resolved Search for Dwarf Galaxies Around a SMC-mass Host
Amandine Doliva-Dolinsky, Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil, Denija Crnojević +38
We report the results of the deepest search to date for dwarf galaxies around NGC3109, a barred spiral galaxy with a mass similar to that of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), using…
Three Quenched, Faint Dwarf Galaxies in the Direction of NGC 300: New Probes of Reionization and Internal Feedback
D. J. Sand, B. Mutlu-Pakdil, M. G. Jones +18
We report the discovery of three faint and ultra-faint dwarf galaxies -- Sculptor A, Sculptor B and Sculptor C -- in the direction of NGC 300 (D=2.0 Mpc), a Large Magellanic Cloud-…
Proper Motions and Orbits of Distant Local Group Dwarf Galaxies from a combination of Gaia and Hubble Data
Paul Bennet, Ekta Patel, Sangmo Tony Sohn +12
We have determined the proper motions (PMs) of 12 dwarf galaxies in the Local Group (LG), ranging from the outer Milky Way (MW) halo to the edge of the LG. We used HST as the first…
BP3M: Bayesian Positions, Parallaxes, and Proper Motions derived from the Hubble Space Telescope and Gaia data
Kevin A. McKinnon, Andrés del Pino, Constance M. Rockosi +9
We present a hierarchical Bayesian pipeline, BP3M, that measures positions, parallaxes, and proper motions (PMs) for cross-matched sources between Hubble~Space~Telescope (HST) imag…
