Quantifying the Stellar Halo's Response to the LMC's Infall with Spherical Harmonics
Emily C. Cunningham, Nicolas Garavito-Camargo, Alis J. Deason +6
The vast majority of the mass in the Milky Way (MW) is in dark matter (DM); we therefore cannot directly observe the MW mass distribution, and have to use tracer populations in ord…
The Detailed Science Case for the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer, 2019 edition
The MSE Science Team, Carine Babusiaux, Maria Bergemann +258
(Abridged) The Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer (MSE) is an end-to-end science platform for the design, execution and scientific exploitation of spectroscopic surveys. It will unvei…
Astrophysical Tests of Dark Matter with Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer
Ting S. Li, Manoj Kaplinghat, Keith Bechtol +27
We discuss how astrophysical observations with the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer (MSE), a high-multiplexity (about 4300 fibers), wide field-of-view (1.5 square degree), large tel…
The Multidimensional Milky Way
Robyn E. Sanderson, Jeffrey L. Carlin, Emily C. Cunningham +6
Studying our Galaxy, the Milky Way (MW), gives us a close-up view of the interplay between cosmology, dark matter, and galaxy formation. In the next decade our understanding of the…
Astro2020 Science White Paper: Science at the edges: internal kinematics of globular clusters' external fields
A. Bellini, M. Libralato, J. Anderson +17
The outer regions of globular clusters can enable us to answer many fundamental questions concerning issues ranging from the formation and evolution of clusters and their multiple…
Modeling the gravitational potential of a cosmological dark matter halo with stellar streams
Robyn E. Sanderson, Johanna Hartke, Amina Helmi
Stellar streams result from the tidal disruption of satellites and star clusters as they orbit a host galaxy, and can be very sensitive probes of the gravitational potential of the…
