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…
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 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…
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…
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…
The abundance and properties of the lowest luminosity dwarf galaxies around the Milky Way: Insights from Semi-Analytic Models
Niusha Ahvazi, Andrew B. Pace, Christopher T. Garling +11
We investigate the formation and observable properties of faint satellite galaxies (M$_\rm V > -3$) in Milky Way-like halos using the semi-analytic galaxy formation model Galacticu…
Ultra-Faint Milky Way Satellites Discovered in Carina, Phoenix, and Telescopium with DELVE Data Release 3
C. Y. Tan, W. Cerny, A. B. Pace +76
We report the discovery of three Milky Way satellite candidates: Carina IV, Phoenix III, and DELVE 7, in the third data release of the DECam Local Volume Exploration survey (DELVE)…
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…
Spectroscopic Analysis of Pictor II: a very low metallicity ultra-faint dwarf galaxy bound to the Large Magellanic Cloud
A. B. Pace, T. S. Li, A. P. Ji +30
We present Magellan/IMACS and Magellan/MIKE spectroscopy of the ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) galaxy Pictor~II (Pic~II) that is located only 12 kpc from the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC).…
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…
Chemical Abundances in the Leiptr Stellar Stream: A Disrupted Ultra-faint Dwarf Galaxy?
Kaia R. Atzberger, Sam A. Usman, Alexander P. Ji +11
Chemical abundances of stellar streams can be used to determine the nature of a stream's progenitor. Here we study the progenitor of the recently discovered Leiptr stellar stream,…
