Hubble Astrometry for the Local Group and Beyond in the 2030s
S. Tony Sohn, Paul Bennet, Kevin Andrew McKinnon +23
Hubble's long, stable astrometric baseline creates a rare opportunity for discovery in the Local Group and beyond. Many nearby galaxies, streams, and star clusters already have arc…
The Metallicity Distribution of the Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxy Segue 1
Daisy Bissonette, Alexander P. Ji, Joshua D. Simon +6
Ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs; stellar masses ) offer unique insights into early chemical evolution in low-mass systems. However, interpreting their metalli…
Probing the IMF in the Early Universe -- Direct measurements in the Boötes I UFD with JWST/NIRCam
Keyi Ding, Mario Gennaro, Roberto J. Avila +20
The dependence of the stellar initial mass function (IMF) on star-formation environment, particularly at low metallicities and high redshifts, remains poorly constrained. Ultra-fai…
It's a matter of time: Empirical Constraints on Supernova Yields and Delay Times from Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies
Mairéad E. Heiger, Alexander P. Ji, Joshua S. Speagle +6
The chemical abundances of a stellar population encode information about nucleosynthesis and its astrophysical sites, but this information is confounded by the specific star format…
Wide binaries in an ultra-faint dwarf galaxy: discovery, population modeling, and a nail in the coffin of primordial black hole dark matter
Cheyanne Shariat, Kareem El-Badry, Mario Gennaro +24
We report the discovery and characterization of a wide binary population in the ultrafaint dwarf galaxy Boötes I using deep JWST/NIRCam imaging. Our sample consists of 52 candidate…
Chemodynamics of BoötesI with : Revised Velocity Gradient, Dark Matter Density, and Galactic Chemical Evolution Constraints
Nathan R. Sandford, Ting S. Li, Sergey E. Koposov +14
We combine new spectroscopic observations of the ultra faint dwarf galaxy (UFD) Boötes I (Boo I) from the Southern Stellar Stream Spectroscopic Survey () with 15 years…
DELVE Milky Way Satellite Galaxy Census I: Satellite Population and Survey Selection Function in DES, DELVE, and Pan-STARRS
C. Y. Tan, A. Drlica-Wagner, A. B. Pace +84
The properties of Milky Way satellite galaxies have important implications for galaxy formation, reionization, and the fundamental physics of dark matter. However, the population o…
The Hubble Space Telescope Survey of M31 Satellite Galaxies IV. Survey Overview and Lifetime Star Formation Histories
A. Savino, D. R. Weisz, A. E. Dolphin +35
From orbits of HST imaging, we present deep homogeneous resolved star color-magnitude diagrams that reach the oldest main sequence turnoff and uniformly measured star forma…
Detailed abundances of the planet-hosting TOI-1173 A/B system: Possible evidence of planet engulfment in a very wide binary
Jhon Yana Galarza, Henrique Reggiani, Thiago Ferreira +7
Over the last decade, studies of large samples of binary systems identified chemical anomalies, and showed that they might be attributed to planet formation or planet engulfment. H…
LAMOST J1010+2358 is not a Pair-Instability Supernova Relic
Pierre N. Thibodeaux, Alexander P. Ji, William Cerny +2
The discovery of a star formed out of pair-instability supernova ejecta would have massive implications for the Population III star initial mass function and the existence of stars…
Deep Hubble Space Telescope Photometry of LMC and Milky Way Ultra-Faint Dwarfs: A careful look into the magnitude-size relation
Hannah Richstein, Nitya Kallivayalil, Joshua D. Simon +16
We present deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST) photometry of ten targets from Treasury Program GO-14734, including six confirmed ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs), three UFD candidat…
A neutron star candidate in a 2-year orbit
Kareem El-Badry, Joshua D. Simon, Henrique Reggiani +10
We report discovery and characterization of a main-sequence G star orbiting a dark object with mass . The system was discovered via Gaia astrometry and has…
The Faint Satellite System of NGC 253: Insights into Low-Density Environments and No Satellite Plane
Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil, David J. Sand, Denija Crnojević +12
We have conducted a systematic search around the Milky Way (MW) analog NGC 253 (D=3.5 Mpc), as a part of the Panoramic Imaging Survey of Centaurus and Sculptor (PISCeS) - a Magella…
Sizing from the Smallest Scales: The Mass of the Milky Way
M. K. Rodriguez Wimberly, M. C. Cooper, D. C. Baxter +6
As the Milky Way and its satellite system become more entrenched in near field cosmology efforts, the need for an accurate mass estimate of the Milky Way's dark matter halo is incr…
Structure and Dynamics of the Globular Cluster Palomar 13
J. D. Bradford, M. Geha, R. Munoz +6
We present Keck/DEIMOS spectroscopy and CFHT/MegaCam photometry for the Milky Way globular cluster Palomar 13. We triple the number of spectroscopically confirmed members, includin…
Indirect Dark Matter Detection Limits from the Ultra-Faint Milky Way Satellite Segue 1
Rouven Essig, Neelima Sehgal, Louis E. Strigari +2
We use new kinematic data from the ultra-faint Milky Way satellite Segue 1 to model its dark matter distribution and derive upper limits on the dark matter annihilation cross-secti…
