Magellan/M2FS and MMT/Hectochelle Spectroscopy of Dwarf Galaxies and Faint Star Clusters within the Galactic Halo

Matthew G. Walker, Nelson Caldwell, Mario Mateo +5

We present spectroscopic data for 16369 stellar targets within and/or toward 38 dwarf spheroidal galaxies and faint star clusters within the Milky Way halo environment. All spectra…

Abundance Analysis of Stars at Large Radius in the Sextans Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy

Ian U. Roederer, Andrew B. Pace, Vinicius M. Placco +5

We present stellar parameters and chemical abundances of 30 elements for five stars located at large radii (3.5-10.7 times the half-light radius) in the Sextans dwarf spheroidal ga…

The Kinematics, Metallicities, and Orbits of Six Recently Discovered Galactic Star Clusters with Magellan/M2FS Spectroscopy

Andrew B. Pace, Sergey E. Koposov, Matthew G. Walker +9

We present Magellan/M2FS spectroscopy of four recently discovered Milky Way star clusters (Gran 3/Patchick~125, Gran 4, Garro 01, LP 866) and two newly discovered open clusters (Ga…

Uniform Modelling of the Stellar Density of Thirteen Tidal Streams within the Galactic Halo

Jeffrey M. Patrick, Sergey E. Koposov, Matthew G. Walker

We present the results of fitting a flexible stellar stream density model to a collection of thirteen streams around the Milky Way, using photometric data from DES, DECaLS, and Pan…

The viability of ultralight bosonic dark matter in dwarf galaxies

Isabelle S. Goldstein, Savvas M. Koushiappas, Matthew G. Walker

The dark matter distribution in dwarf galaxies holds a wealth of information on the fundamental properties and interactions of the dark matter particle. In this paper, we study whe…

Multiplicity Statistics of Stars in the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy: Comparison to the Milky Way

Victoria Bonidie, Travis Court, Christine Mazzola Daher +17

We use time-resolved spectra from the Apache Point Observatory Galactic Evolution Experiment (APOGEE) to examine the distribution of radial velocity (RV) variations in 249 stars id…
