A combined HST and JWST analysis of the stellar population in Draco II

Axelle C. Raffin, Giacomo Cordoni, Helmut Jerjen +5

Draco II (Dra II) is one of the faintest and most metal-poor Milky Way satellites known, yet its nature as either an ultra-faint dwarf galaxy or an extended globular cluster remain…

Boötes III is a Tidally Disrupting Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxy on an Eccentric Polar Orbit

Ting S. Li, Denis Erkal, Andrew B. Pace +20

We present updated systemic properties of the ultra-faint dwarf galaxy Boötes III from the Southern Stellar Stream Spectroscopic Survey (S). We identify 21 high-probability mem…

The open cluster NGC 2509. Stellar rotation and main sequence turnoff extension from FLAMES spectroscopy

C. Boeche, J. Alonso-Santiago, A. Bragaglia +8

NGC 2509 is a distant (~2.5 kpc) and little-studied open cluster located in the third Galactic quadrant. It is a moderately old cluster, whose age has not yet been precisely determ…

Epicyclic Density Variations in the Indus Stellar Stream

Yong Yang, Geraint F. Lewis, Ting S. Li +12

Longitudinal density fluctuations observed in stellar streams can result from gravitational interactions with massive perturbers in the Milky Way, such as dark matter subhalos. Ana…

Detailed Chemical Abundance Analysis of the Brightest Stars in the Turranburra and Willka Yaku Stellar Streams

Kaitlin B. Webber, Terese T. Hansen, Jennifer L. Marshall +20

We present a detailed chemical abundance analysis of the three brightest known stars from each of the Turranburra and Willka Yaku stellar streams using high-resolution Magellan/MIK…

: 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…

Chemodynamics of BoötesI with : Revised Velocity Gradient, Dark Matter Density, and Galactic Chemical Evolution Constraints

Nathan R. Sandford, Ting S. Li, Sergey E. Koposov +14

We combine new spectroscopic observations of the ultra faint dwarf galaxy (UFD) Boötes I (Boo I) from the Southern Stellar Stream Spectroscopic Survey () with 15 years…

Sifting for a Stream: The Morphology of the Stellar Stream

Benjamin Cohen, Alexander P. Ji, Peter S. Ferguson +18

Stellar streams are sensitive laboratories for understanding the small-scale structure in our Galaxy's gravitational field. Here, we analyze the morphology of the stellar st…

Flipping of the tidal tails of the Ophiuchus stream due to the decelerating Galactic bar

Yong Yang, Geraint F. Lewis, Denis Erkal +16

The Ophiuchus stellar stream presents a puzzle due to its complicated morphology, with a substructure perpendicular to the main track (spur), a broadened tail (fanning), and a shor…

The GALAH survey: Improving chemical abundances using star clusters

Janez Kos, Sven Buder, Kevin L. Beeson +18

Large spectroscopic surveys aim to consistently compute stellar parameters of very diverse stars while minimizing systematic errors. We explore the use of stellar clusters as bench…

: New insights from deep spectroscopic observations of the tidal tails of the globular clusters NGC 1261 and NGC 1904

Petra Awad, Ting S. Li, Denis Erkal +22

As globular clusters (GCs) orbit the Milky Way, their stars are tidally stripped forming tidal tails that follow the orbit of the clusters around the Galaxy. The morphology of thes…

Multiple Populations and a CH Star Found in the 300S Globular Cluster Stellar Stream

Sam A. Usman, Alexander P. Ji, Ting S. Li +14

Milky Way globular clusters (GCs) display chemical enrichment in a phenomenon called multiple stellar populations (MSPs). While the enrichment mechanism is not fully understood, th…
