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…
The Milky Way stellar halo is twisted and doubly broken: insights from DESI DR2 Milky Way Survey observation
Songting Li, Wenting Wang, Sergey E. Koposov +45
Using K giants from the second data release (DR2) of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Milky Way (MW) Survey, we measure the shape, orientation, radial profile, and d…
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…
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…
Not-so-heavy metal(s): Chemical Abundances in the Ultra-faint Dwarf Galaxies Eridanus IV and Centaurus I
Mairéad E Heiger, Alexander P Ji, Ting S Li +18
We present detailed chemical abundances of the brightest star in each of the ultra-faint dwarf galaxies Eridanus IV and Centaurus I using high-resolution Magellan/MIKE spectroscopy…
A second-generation star in a relic dwarf galaxy
Anirudh Chiti, Vinicius M. Placco, Andrew B. Pace +22
Stars that contain only trace amounts of elements heavier than helium, referred to as having low "metallicity", preserve the chemical fingerprints of the first generation of stars…
The DECam MAGIC Survey: Spectroscopic Follow-up of the Most Metal-Poor Stars in the Distant Milky Way Halo
Vinicius M. Placco, Guilherme Limberg, Anirudh Chiti +21
In this work, we present high-resolution spectroscopic observations for six metal-poor stars with [Fe/H]<-3 (including one with [Fe/H]<-4), selected using narrow-band Ca II HK phot…
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…
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…
DELVE-DEEP Survey: The Faint Satellite System of NGC 55
Jonah Medoff, Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil, Jeffrey L. Carlin +24
We report the first comprehensive census of the satellite dwarf galaxies around NGC 55 ( Mpc) as a part of the DECam Local Volume Exploration DEEP (DELVE-DEEP) survey. NGC 55…
The DECam MAGIC Survey: A Wide-field Photometric Metallicity Study of the Sculptor Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
Fabrícia O. Barbosa, Anirudh Chiti, Guilherme Limberg +26
The metallicity distribution function and internal chemical variations of a galaxy are fundamental to understand its formation and assembly history. In this work, we analyze photom…
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…
Deep Photometric Observations of Ultra-Faint Milky Way Satellites Centaurus I and Eridanus IV
Quinn O. Casey, Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil, David J. Sand +19
We present deep MagellanMegacam imaging of Centaurus I (Cen I) and Eridanus IV (Eri IV), two recently discovered Milky Way ultra-faint satellites. Our data reach magni…
