Disentangling the Distant Stellar Halo Using K-Giants in the DESI Year 3 Data

Namitha Kizhuprakkat, Andrew P. Cooper, Wenting Wang +42

We present a sample of 88,959 K-giants from DESI Milky Way Survey Year 3 data, which we use to characterize the chemo-dynamical properties of the stellar halo at Galactocentric dis…

Constraining the Galactic bar using the M92 stellar stream

Amanda Byström, Sergey E. Koposov, Ting. S. Li +42

Stellar streams are excellent probes of the gravitational potential in which they evolve. In the Milky Way (MW), globular cluster (GC) streams are routinely used to infer propertie…

Characterizing the GD-1 Stream with DESI DR2 Data: Thin Stream and Hot Cocoon

Emma Jarvis, Ting S. Li, Sergey E. Koposov +54

GD-1 is among the longest, coldest stellar streams in the Milky Way, making it an ideal target for probing dark matter substructure through dynamical heating. We present a catalog…

The velocity field of our Milky Way outer stellar halo based on DESI DR2

Songting Li, Wenting Wang, Sergey E. Koposov +53

Using 64,000 halo K giants from Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) second Data Release (DR2), we decompose the Milky Way (MW) stellar halo between 3 and 160 kpc into metal…

The metal-poor tail of the APOGEE survey I. Uncovering [Fe/H] < -2.5 stars from the inner Galaxy to the Magellanic Clouds

M. Montelius, E. Starkenburg, H. Woudenberg +9

In the search for metal-poor stars, large spectroscopic surveys are an invaluable tool. However, the spectra of metal-poor stars can be difficult to analyse because of the relative…

Signatures of a Tidally Induced Spiral Arm at the Anticenter of the Milky Way and a Kinematically Extended Anticenter Stream Using DESI DR2

Mika Lambert, Constance M. Rockosi, Sergey E. Koposov +46

Using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument Milky Way Survey (DESI MWS), we examine the 6D space of the anticenter region of the stellar disk (150 Galactic longitude…

Nearby stellar substructures in the Galactic halo from DESI Milky Way Survey Year 1 Data Release

Bokyoung Kim, Sergey E. Koposov, Ting S. Li +41

We report five nearby ( kpc) stellar substructures in the Galactic halo from a subset of 138,661 stars in the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Mi…

DESI Data Release 1: Stellar Catalogue

Sergey E. Koposov, Ting S. Li, C. Allende Prieto +65

In this paper we present the stellar Value-Added Catalogue (VAC) based on the DESI Data Release 1. This VAC contains stellar parameter, abundance and radial velocity measurements f…

The DESI Y1 RR Lyrae catalog II: The metallicity dependency of pulsational properties, the shape of the RR Lyrae instability strip, and metal rich RR Lyrae

Gustavo E. Medina, Ting S. Li, C. Allende Prieto +39

RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) are valuable probes of both Milky Way assembly and stellar-evolution physics. Using a sample 6,240 RRLs obtained in the first year of the Dark Energy Spectros…

The Cocytos Stream: A Disrupted Globular Cluster from our Last Major Merger?

Christian Aganze, Vedant Chandra, Risa H. Wechsler +48

The census of stellar streams and dwarf galaxies in the Milky Way provides direct constraints on galaxy formation models and the nature of dark matter. The DESI Milky Way survey --…

SpecDis: Value added distance catalogue for 4 million stars from DESI Year-1 data

Songting Li, Wenting Wang, Sergey E. Koposov +55

We present the SpecDis value added stellar distance catalog accompanying DESI DR1. SpecDis trains a feed-forward Neural Network (NN) with Gaia parallaxes and gets the distance esti…

Exploring the interaction between the MW and LMC with a large sample of blue horizontal branch stars from the DESI survey

Amanda Byström, Sergey E. Koposov, Sophia Lilleengen +42

The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is a Milky Way (MW) satellite that is massive enough to gravitationally attract the MW disc and inner halo, causing significant motion of the inner…

The Pristine Survey -- XXVII. Journey to the Galactic outskirts -- Mapping the outer halo red giant stars down to the very metal-poor end

Akshara Viswanathan, Amanda Byström, Else Starkenburg +14

Context: In the context of Galactic archaeology, the outer halo remains relatively unexplored with respect to its metallicity distribution, merger debris, and the abundance of know…

GD-1 Stellar Stream and Cocoon in the DESI Early Data Release

Monica Valluri, Parker Fagrelius, Sergey. E. Koposov +49

We present 115 new spectroscopically identified members of the GD-1 tidal stream observed with the 5000-fiber Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). We confirm the existence…
