The Second Data Release of the Survey of the MAgellanic Stellar History (SMASH)
David L. Nidever, Knut Olsen, Yumi Choi +32
The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) are the largest satellite galaxies of the Milky Way and close enough to allow for a detailed exploration of their structure and…
Second Data Release of the All-sky NOIRLab Source Catalog
David L. Nidever, Arjun Dey, Katie Fasbender +7
We announce the second data release (DR2) of the NOIRLab Source Catalog (NSC), using 412,116 public images from CTIO-4m+DECam, the KPNO-4m+Mosaic3 and the Bok-2.3m+90Prime. NSC DR2…
Preliminary Target Selection for the DESI Milky Way Survey (MWS)
Carlos Allende Prieto, Andrew P. Cooper, Arjun Dey +31
The DESI Milky Way Survey (MWS) will observe 8 million stars between mag, supplemented by observations of brighter targets under poor observing conditions. The s…
Geometry of the Draco C1 Symbiotic Binary
Hannah M. Lewis, Borja Anguiano, Keivan G. Stassun +14
Draco C1 is a known symbiotic binary star system composed of a carbon red giant and a hot, compact companion -- likely a white dwarf -- belonging to the Draco dwarf spheroidal gala…
Discovery of an Ultra-Faint Stellar System near the Magellanic Clouds with the DECam Local Volume Exploration (DELVE) Survey
W. Cerny, A. B. Pace, A. Drlica-Wagner +29
We report the discovery of a new ultra-faint stellar system found near the Magellanic Clouds in the DECam Local Volume Exploration (DELVE) Survey. This new system, DELVE J015568…
The intrinsic reddening of the Magellanic Clouds as traced by background galaxies -- II. The Small Magellanic Cloud
Cameron P. M. Bell, Maria-Rosa L. Cioni, A. H. Wright +23
We present a map of the total intrinsic reddening across ~34 deg of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) derived using optical () and near-infrared (IR; …
Co-formation of the thin and thick discs revealed by APOGEE-DR16 and Gaia-DR2
Leandro Beraldo e Silva, Victor P. Debattista, David Nidever +2
Since thin disc stars are younger than thick disc stars on average, the thin disc is predicted by some models to start forming after the thick disc had formed, around 10 Gyr ago. A…
SMASHing the low surface brightness SMC
Pol Massana, Noelia E. D. Noël, David L. Nidever +22
The periphery of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) can unlock important information regarding galaxy formation and evolution in interacting systems. Here, we present a detailed stud…
The Close Binary Fraction as a Function of Stellar Parameters in APOGEE: A Strong Anti-Correlation With Abundances
Christine N. Mazzola, Carles Badenes, Maxwell Moe +20
We use observations from the APOGEE survey to explore the relationship between stellar parameters and multiplicity. We combine high-resolution repeat spectroscopy for 41,363 dwarf…
The Large Magellanic Cloud stellar content with SMASH: I. Assessing the stability of the Magellanic spiral arms
T. Ruiz-Lara, C. Gallart, M. Monelli +23
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is the closest and most studied example of an irregular galaxy. Among its principal defining morphological features, its off-centred bar and single…
Strong chemical tagging with APOGEE: 21 candidate star clusters that have dissolved across the Milky Way disc
Natalie Price-Jones, Jo Bovy, Jeremy J. Webb +12
Chemically tagging groups of stars born in the same birth cluster is a major goal of spectroscopic surveys. To investigate the feasibility of such strong chemical tagging, we perfo…
Close Binary Companions to APOGEE DR16 Stars: 20,000 Binary-star Systems Across the Color-Magnitude Diagram
Adrian M. Price-Whelan, David W. Hogg, Hans-Walter Rix +20
Many problems in contemporary astrophysics---from understanding the formation of black holes to untangling the chemical evolution of galaxies---rely on knowledge about binary stars…
