From starlight to dark matter: a stochastic interpolation approach to map dark matter from stellar density

Xiaowei Ou, Lina Necib, Carolina Cuesta-Lazaro +9

The dark matter halo profile in galaxies holds key information about the nature of dark matter and galaxy formation. Constraining the dark matter profile of galaxies beyond the Mil…

Propagation of opinions on a network. Convergence, spreading speed and patterns in the Daley-Kendall model

Romain Ducasse

We study a social contagion model describing the propagation of opinions across a network. Our model is a generalization of a model introduced by Daley and Kendall, and consists of…

From observing strategies to velocity dispersion bias: forward modeling unresolved binaries in ultra-faint dwarf galaxies

Xiaowei Ou, Andrew B. Pace, Nitya Kallivayalil +9

Ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs) in the Milky Way are ideal probes of low-mass galaxy formation and dark matter because they are highly dark-matter dominated. In the lowest-mass s…

Sr and Ba yields of the First Generation(s) of stars: Constraints from metal-poor stars

Sarah Hughes, Anna Frebel, Xiaowei Ou +6

We present our chemical abundance analysis of ten new extremely metal-poor stars with $-4.05\leq\mbox{[Fe/H]}\leq-2.33$, based on high-resolution (R ) Magellan/MIKE spe…

Carbon Abundances in Metal-Poor Stars Reveal Distinct Galaxy and Star Formation Pathways in the Early Universe

Alexander Yelland, Anna Frebel, Xiaowei Ou +2

Carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP; with and ) stars preserve information about early chemical enrichment, low-mass star formation, and th…

Hubble Astrometry for the Local Group and Beyond in the 2030s

S. Tony Sohn, Paul Bennet, Kevin Andrew McKinnon +23

Hubble's long, stable astrometric baseline creates a rare opportunity for discovery in the Local Group and beyond. Many nearby galaxies, streams, and star clusters already have arc…
