Hidden Disruption in Milky Way-like Satellite Galaxy Populations

Gray Thoron, Nora Shipp, Alexander H. Riley +9

Determining whether a satellite galaxy is tidally disrupting from photometric observations alone remains a fundamental challenge in near-field cosmology. Cosmological simulations o…

The Carbon-Dependent Binary Frequency of CEMP-no Stars

John D. Dixon, Terese T. Hansen, Jennifer Marshall +15

Studies of the oldest and most metal-poor stars in the Milky Way confirm a common chemical signature of high carbon abundances and subsolar neutron-capture enrichment. The so-calle…

The DECam MAGIC Survey Mapping the Ancient Galaxy in CaHK: Overview and Summary of Early Science

A. Chiti, A. Drlica-Wagner, A. B. Pace +42

We present the DECam Mapping the Ancient Galaxy in CaHK (MAGIC) survey, a 54-night NOIRLab Survey Program to image 5,000deg of the southern hemisphere using a meta…

No Stream Left Unscathed: The imprint of a host galaxy

Arpit Arora, Peter S. Ferguson, Jacob Nibauer +11

Stellar streams from disrupted globular clusters are excellent probes of dark matter (DM) subhalos. Observed Milky Way streams display a remarkable diversity of features: spurs, ga…

The DECam MAGIC Survey: Investigating the Jet Stellar Stream with Photometric Metallicities

H. Q. Do, A. Chiti, P. S. Ferguson +27

Stellar streams are dynamically fragile structures formed by the tidal disruption of dwarf galaxies and stellar clusters. These objects are valuable tracers of the gravitational po…

TOI-7169 b: A Hot Jupiter Transiting a Metal-Poor Star

Joshua D. Simon, Joseph E. Rodriguez, Jhon Yana Galarza +38

Most known planets are found around metal-rich host stars, which has made it difficult to determine whether a lower metallicity limit for planet formation exists and how the proper…

A Path to an All-Sky Survey with Roman

Jiwon Jesse Han, Anirudh Chiti, Kai-Feng Chen +93

A deep, space-based, all-sky near-infrared survey carried out with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope would constitute a foundational astronomical infrastructure for decades to…

The DECam MAGIC Survey: Uncovering the Tidal Tails of the Crater II Dwarf Galaxy

Kaia R. Atzberger, Andrew B. Pace, Nitya Kallivayalil +27

Crater II (CraII), a large and low-density dwarf spheroidal galaxy, has unusual observed properties that are difficult to reproduce in cold dark matter simulations. Ongoing tidal d…

Forecasting Dark Matter Subhalo Constraints from Stellar Streams using Implicit Likelihood Inference

Tri Nguyen, Rutong Pei, Zhuofu Li +9

The evidence for dark matter (DM) remains compelling, although attempts to understand its particle nature remain inconclusive. One promising method to study DM is detecting DM subh…

: 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…

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 Field of Streams: a deep view of the Milky Way halo

Peter Ferguson, Nora Shipp

We present a Field of Streams visualizing stellar structures in the Milky Way halo as viewed by the Dark Energy Camera (DECam). We use - and -band imaging from the Dark Energ…

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…

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…

Enrichment by Extragalactic First Stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud

Anirudh Chiti, Mohammad Mardini, Guilherme Limberg +8

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is the Milky Way's most massive satellite galaxy, which only recently (~2 billion years ago) fell into our Galaxy. Since stellar atmospheres preser…

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…
