Modeling the recent interactions between the Magellanic Clouds and Milky Way
Bethany Garver, David Nidever, Victor Debattista +1
The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC, respectively) are the largest satellite galaxies of the Milky Way (MW) and their interactions with each other have given rise to…
Overview of The SDSS-V Magellanic Genesis Survey
David L. Nidever, Danny Horta, Steven R. Majewski +14
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-V (SDSS-V) Magellanic Genesis survey is a spectroscopic program designed to map the kinematic and chemical structure of the Magellanic Clouds using APO…
Discovery of the First Five Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor Stars in the LMC
Madeline Lucey, Vedant Chandra, Alexander Ji +7
A substantial fraction of metal-poor stars in the local Milky Way halo exhibit large overabundances of carbon. These stars, dubbed Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor (CEMP) stars, provide…
Warped & Hooked: Mapping the Magellanic Clouds in 3D using Red Clump stars
Slater J. Oden, David L. Nidever, Joshua Povick +18
The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) are the Milky Way's nearest interacting galaxy pair, offering a unique laboratory for studying tidal effects on galactic disks.…
The Apache Point Observatory extra-Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOeGEE): Chemical Abundance Trends for Seven Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies in the APOGEE Survey
Matthew Shetrone, Rachael L. Beaton, Christian R. Hayes +10
In addition to comprehensive surveys of the Milky Way bulge, disk, and halo, the Apache Point Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) project observed seven dwarf spheroidal satelli…
Stellar Birth Radii in the LMC: Insights into Chemodynamics, Radial Migration, and Star Formation Across the Disk
Yuxi Lu, Bethany Garver, David L. Nidever +4
The LMC and SMC are interacting dwarf galaxies that offer a valuable testbed for studying the effects of galactic mergers. We investigate the chemodynamic history of the LMC in the…
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)…
New Interpretation for the Orientation of the LMC's Gaseous Arms B and E using ULLYSES
April Horton, Suraj Poudel, Kathleen A. Barger +20
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) experiences disruption from tidal and ram-pressure forces as it travels through the halo of the Milky Way. In this project, we combine radio emissi…
An SDSS-V 3D Tomographic Na I Map of the ISM: An Initial Study Towards the Smith Cloud
Timothy McQuaid, Joseph N. Burchett, Kate H. R. Rubin +7
High velocity clouds supply the Milky Way with gas that sustains star formation over cosmic timescales. Precise distance measurements are therefore essential to quantify their mass…
A Galactic Self-Portrait: Density Structure and Integrated Properties of the Milky Way Disk
Julie Imig, Jon A. Holtzman, Gail Zasowski +23
The evolution history of the Milky Way disk is imprinted in the ages, positions, and chemical compositions of individual stars. In this study, we derive the intrinsic density distr…
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…
