Homogeneous Stellar Parameters from Heterogeneous Spectra with Deep Learning

Jeff Shen, Joshua S. Speagle, Shirley Ho

Large-scale spectroscopic surveys have collectively observed millions of stars across the Milky Way, but each derives stellar labels using independent pipelines with distinct model…

Assessing Zeeman Measurements of Magnetic Fields in Synthetic HI Observations

Duo Xu, Peter Martin, Stella Offner +3

Zeeman observations provide the only direct probe of line-of-sight (LOS) magnetic fields in the interstellar medium. To evaluate their accuracy and limitations, we generate synthet…

Disk Wind Feedback from High-mass Protostars. V. Application of Multi-Modal Machine Learning to Characterize Outflow Properties

Duo Xu, Ioana A. Stelea, Joshua S. Speagle +2

Characterizing protostellar outflows is fundamental to understanding star formation feedback, yet traditional methods are often hindered by projection effects and complex morpholog…

Early evidence for isotropic planetary obliquities in young super-Jupiter systems

Michael Poon, Marta L. Bryan, Hanno Rein +3

This decade has seen the first measurements of extrasolar planetary obliquities, characterizing how an exoplanet's spin axis is oriented relative to its orbital axis. These measure…

Mapping the Milky Way in 5-D with 170 Million Stars

Joshua S. Speagle, Catherine Zucker, Ana Bonaca +18

We present "augustus", a catalog of distance, extinction, and stellar parameter estimates to 170 million stars from and with dr…

SPYGLASS. VI. Feedback-Driven Star Formation in the Circinus Complex

Ronan Kerr, Juan P. Farias, Lisa Prato +3

Young associations provide a record that traces the star formation process, and the youngest populations connect progenitor gas dynamics to the resulting stellar populations. We th…

A Deep, High-Angular Resolution 3D Dust Map of the Southern Galactic Plane

Catherine Zucker, Andrew K. Saydjari, Joshua S. Speagle +8

We present a deep, high-angular resolution 3D dust map of the southern Galactic plane over and built on photometry from the DECaPS2 su…

ChronoFlow: A Data-Driven Model for Gyrochronology

Phil R. Van-Lane, Joshua S. Speagle, Gwendolyn M. Eadie +6

Gyrochronology is a technique for constraining stellar ages using rotation periods, which change over a star's main sequence lifetime due to magnetic braking. This technique shows…

Discovery of Two Ultra-Diffuse Galaxies with Unusually Bright Globular Cluster Luminosity Functions via a Mark-Dependently Thinned Point Process (MATHPOP)

Dayi Li, Gwendolyn Eadie, Patrick Brown +8

We present \textsc{Mathpop}, a novel method to infer the globular cluster (GC) counts in ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) and low-surface brightness galaxies (LSBGs). Many known UDGs…

Stochastic Modelling of Star Formation Histories III. Constraints from Physically-Motivated Gaussian Processes

Kartheik G. Iyer, Joshua S. Speagle, Neven Caplar +4

Galaxy formation and evolution involves a variety of effectively stochastic processes that operate over different timescales. The Extended Regulator model provides an analytic fram…

The Stellar Halo of the Galaxy is Tilted & Doubly Broken

Jiwon Jesse Han, Charlie Conroy, Benjamin D. Johnson +7

Modern Galactic surveys have revealed an ancient merger that dominates the stellar halo of our Galaxy (\textit{Gaia}-Sausage-Enceladus, GSE). Using chemical abundances and kinemati…

A Tilt in the Dark Matter Halo of the Galaxy

Jiwon Jesse Han, Rohan P. Naidu, Charlie Conroy +9

Recent observations of the stellar halo have uncovered the debris of an ancient merger, Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus, estimated to have occurred ~8 Gyr ago. Follow-up studies have associ…
