Forecasting the Resolvability of Stellar Velocity Dispersions in Ultra-faint Dwarf Galaxies
Pierre Thibodeaux, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Alexander P. Ji +4
Ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs)---the smallest and most dark-matter dominated galactic systems---push the boundaries of our understanding of galaxy formation in the cold dark mat…
Characterizing Stellar Streams with Error-Aware Machine Learning
Alexandros Pratsos, Biprateep Dey, Ting S. Li
Stellar streams are thin, elongated collections of stars formed by gravitational disruption of orbiting star clusters or dwarf galaxies and are highly sensitive probes of the Milky…
It's a matter of time: Empirical Constraints on Supernova Yields and Delay Times from Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies
Mairéad E. Heiger, Alexander P. Ji, Joshua S. Speagle +6
The chemical abundances of a stellar population encode information about nucleosynthesis and its astrophysical sites, but this information is confounded by the specific star format…
A Chemodynamical Census of the Milky Way's Ultra-Faint Compact Satellites. I. A First Population-Level Look at the Internal Kinematics and Metallicities of 19 Extremely-Low-Mass Halo Stellar Systems
William Cerny, Ting S. Li, Andrew B. Pace +13
Deep, wide-area photometric surveys have uncovered a population of compact ( 1-15 pc), extremely-low-mass ( 20-4000 ) stellar systems in th…
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…
No Observational Evidence for Dark Matter Nor a Large Metallicity Spread in the Extreme Milky Way Satellite Ursa Major III / UNIONS 1
William Cerny, Daisy Bissonette, Alexander P. Ji +9
The extremely-low-luminosity, compact Milky Way satellite Ursa Major III / UNIONS 1 (UMaIII/U1; ; pc) was found to have a substantial velocity 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…
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 HST Legacy Archival Uniform Reduction of Local Group Imaging (LAURELIN). I. Photometry and Star Formation Histories for 36 Ultra-faint Dwarf Galaxies
Meredith J. Durbin, Yumi Choi, Alessandro Savino +14
We present uniformly measured resolved stellar photometry and star formation histories (SFHs) for 36 nearby ( 400 kpc) ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs; $-7.1 \le M_V \le…
