It's Not Just Star Formation: A trend of low dark matter densities in the Andromeda dwarf galaxy system

Connor S. Pickett, Michelle L. M. Collins, Justin I. Read +8

Dynamical mass modeling of Andromeda (M31) dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies has revealed a growing trend of lower central dark matter (DM) densities than predicted by pure DM struc…

GHOST commissioning science results -- IV: Chemodynamical analyses of Milky Way satellites Sagittarius II and Aquarius II

Daria Zaremba, Kim Venn, Christian R. Hayes +28

We present Gemini/GHOST high-resolution spectra of five stars observed in two low surface brightness Milky Way satellites, Sagittarius II (Sgr2) and Aquarius II (Aqu2). For Aqu2, t…

Gemini High-resolution Optical SpecTrograph (GHOST) at Gemini-South: Instrument performance and integration, first science, and next steps

V. M. Kalari, R. J. Diaz, G. Robertson +57

The Gemini South telescope is now equipped with a new high-resolution spectrograph called GHOST (the Gemini High-resolution Optical SpecTrograph). This instrument provides high-eff…

High-Resolution Dayside Spectroscopy of WASP-189b: Detection of Iron during the GHOST/Gemini South System Verification Run

Emily K. Deibert, Adam B. Langeveld, Mitchell E. Young +30

With high equilibrium temperatures and tidally locked rotation, ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) are unique laboratories within which to probe extreme atmospheric physics and chemistry. I…

Optimal stellar photometry for multi-conjugate adaptive optics systems using science-based metrics

P. Turri, A. W. McConnachie, P. B. Stetson +5

We present a detailed discussion of how to obtain precise stellar photometry in crowded fields using images from multi-conjugate adaptive optics (MCAO) systems, with the intent of…

Astrometry with MCAO: HST-GeMS proper motions in the globular cluster NGC 6681

D. Massari, G. Fiorentino, A. McConnachie +7

Aims: for the first time the astrometric capabilities of the Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics (MCAO) facility GeMS with the GSAOI camera on Gemini-South are tested to quantify the a…

GeMS MCAO observations of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 2808: the absolute age

Davide Massari, G. Fiorentino, A. McConnachie +7

Globular clusters are the oldest stellar systems in the Milky Way and probe the early epoch of the Galaxy formation. However, the uncertainties on their absolute age are still too…
