Discovery, Characterization, and Potential Origins of a Stream in the Stellar Halo of Nearby LMC-Mass Galaxy NGC 55

Benjamin N. Velguth, Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil, Erik Tollerud +33

We present a previously undetected stellar stream in the halo of the LMC-mass dwarf galaxy NGC 55 (2 Mpc), as part of an ongoing effort to characterize the stellar halos of LMC/SMC…

The role of mass loss in constraining quenching time in dwarf galaxies from AGB and RGB star counts

Paolo Ventura, Richard D'Souza, Flavia Dell'Agli +4

The capability of reconstructing the past star formation history of dwarf elliptical galaxies out of the Local Volume relies on modelling bright stellar populations currently evolv…

A Chemodynamical Census of the Milky Way's Ultra-Faint Compact Satellites. I. A First Population-Level Look at the Internal Kinematics and Metallicities of 19 Extremely-Low-Mass Halo Stellar Systems

William Cerny, Ting S. Li, Andrew B. Pace +13

Deep, wide-area photometric surveys have uncovered a population of compact ( 1-15 pc), extremely-low-mass ( 20-4000 ) stellar systems in th…

The low-mass and structured stellar halo of M83 argues against a merger origin for its starburst and extended neutral hydrogen disk

Eric F. Bell, Benjamin Harmsen, Matthew Cosby +12

A merger origin has been suggested for M83's massive, metal-rich extended HI disk and nuclear starburst. We observe M83's stellar halo to test this idea. We train nearest-neighbor…

The Relationship at : Big Black Holes in Little Red Dots

Brenda L. Jones, Dale D. Kocevski, Fabio Pacucci +25

JWST has identified a large population of faint, broad-line active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the early universe that are powered by black holes (BHs) that often appear overmassive r…

Stars Born in the Wind: M82's Outflow and Halo Star Formation

Vaishnav V. Rao, Adam Smercina, Eric F. Bell +8

Starburst galaxies, like M82, launch kiloparsec-scale galactic outflows that interact with the circumgalactic medium (CGM) in complex ways. Apart from enriching the CGM with metals…
