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…

Chemo-dynamical Analysis of a CNO-Enhanced Ultra Metal-poor Star (): Insights into Early Enrichment by Faint Population III Supernova

Guilherme Limberg, Vinicius M. Placco, Alexander P. Ji +10

We report an independent identification of the ultra metal-poor (UMP) star () DR3 $\texttt{source_id}$ 4795913112968206720 (GDR3_479591) in the miss…

The Twentieth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey: First All-Sky BOSS Spectra, eROSITA-SDSS-V Mapper Coordinated Observations, and a Preview of the Local Volume Mapper

SDSS Collaboration, Mojgan Aghakhanloo, David Aguilar +273

This paper presents the twentieth data release (DR20) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, the third data release of its fifth generation (SDSS-V). SDSS-V is a panoptic spectroscopy…

Payne4GAIN: NLTE Corrections for Red Giants in Milky Way Mapper using H-Band Neural Network Emulators

Pierre Thibodeaux, Alexander P. Ji, Nicholas Storm +12

The majority of spectroscopic surveys assume local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) during the modeling of stellar spectra. This assumption begins to break down for luminous stars,…

A nearly pristine star from the Large Magellanic Cloud

Alexander P. Ji, Vedant Chandra, Selenna Mejias-Torres +28

The first stars formed out of pristine gas, causing them to be so massive that none are expected to have survived until today. If their direct descendants were sufficiently low-mas…

The Nineteenth Data Release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey

SDSS Collaboration, Gautham Adamane Pallathadka, Mojgan Aghakhanloo +210

Mapping the local and distant Universe is key to our understanding of it. For decades, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) has made a concerted effort to map millions of celestial…

LAMOST J1010+2358 is not a Pair-Instability Supernova Relic

Pierre N. Thibodeaux, Alexander P. Ji, William Cerny +2

The discovery of a star formed out of pair-instability supernova ejecta would have massive implications for the Population III star initial mass function and the existence of stars…

Spectacular nucleosynthesis from early massive stars

Alexander P. Ji, Sanjana Curtis, Nicholas Storm +39

Stars formed with initial mass over 50 Msun are very rare today, but they are thought to be more common in the early universe. The fates of those early, metal-poor, massive stars a…

Using KCWI to Explore the Chemical Inhomogeneities and Evolution of J1044+0353

Zixuan Peng, Crystal L. Martin, Pierre Thibodeaux +3

J1044+0353 is considered a local analog of the young galaxies that ionized the intergalactic medium at high-redshift due to its low mass, low metallicity, high specific star format…
