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 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…

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…

Sloan Digital Sky Survey-V: Pioneering Panoptic Spectroscopy

Juna A. Kollmeier, Hans-Walter Rix, Conny Aerts +217

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey-V (SDSS-V) is pioneering panoptic spectroscopy: it is the first all-sky, multi-epoch, optical-to-infrared spectroscopic survey. SDSS-V is mapping the s…

Tidal Debris Candidates from the Centauri Accretion Event and its Role in Building Up the Milky Way Halo

Borja Anguiano, Arik Mitschang, Takanobu Kirihara +11

We identify stellar tidal debris from the Centauri ( Cen) system among field stars in the APOGEE survey via chemical tagging using a neural network trained on APOGEE observa…

Asteroseismology of Metal-Poor Red Giants Observed by TESS

Corin Marasco, Jamie Tayar, David Nidever

Galactic archeology has long been limited by a lack of precise masses and ages for metal-poor stars in the Milky Way's thick disk. However, with TESS providing a growing number of…

Andromeda XXXV: The Faintest Dwarf Satellite of the Andromeda Galaxy

Jose Marco Arias, Eric F. Bell, Katya Gozman +8

We present the discovery of Andromeda XXXV, the faintest Andromeda satellite galaxy discovered to date, identified as an overdensity of stars in the Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Su…

Vertical structure and kinematics of the LMC disc from SDSS/Gaia

Ó. Jiménez-Arranz, D. Horta, R. P. van der Marel +4

[Abbreviated] Context: Studies of the LMC's internal kinematics have provided a detailed view of its structure, largely by the exquisite proper motion data supplied by Gaia. Howeve…
