Discovery of the Distant, Ultra-Faint Milky Way Satellite Aquarius IV with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Early Data Preview 2
William Cerny, Aashay Pai, Alex Drlica-Wagner +16
We present the discovery of Aquarius IV (Rubin J22010234) -- the first ultra-faint Milky Way satellite to be identified using data from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. This syste…
The Dark Energy Camera All Data Everywhere cosmic shear project V: Constraints on cosmology and astrophysics from 270 million galaxies across 13,000 deg of the sky
D. Anbajagane, C. Chang, A. Drlica-Wagner +78
The paper presents cosmological and astrophysical constraints derived from cosmic shear measurements of 270 million galaxies covering 13,000 deg², combining data from the DECADE pr…
Deep Imaging of Grus II and Horologium II: Structure and Extent of Two Ultra-Faint Milky Way Satellites
Deepthi S. Prabhu, David J. Sand, Anirudh Chiti +29
We present deep, wide-field Magellan/Megacam imaging of the ultra-faint Milky Way (MW) satellites Grus II (Gru II) and Horologium II (Hor II), with the aim of deriving improved con…
Discovery and Spectroscopic Characterization of a Distant, Compact Milky Way Satellite in Gemini
K. Overdeck, W. Cerny, C. Y. Tan +27
We present the discovery of a compact Milky Way satellite in the constellation of Gemini. This system was discovered by cross-matching detections from two independent search algori…
The DECam MAGIC Survey Mapping the Ancient Galaxy in CaHK: Overview and Summary of Early Science
A. Chiti, A. Drlica-Wagner, A. B. Pace +42
We present the DECam Mapping the Ancient Galaxy in CaHK (MAGIC) survey, a 54-night NOIRLab Survey Program to image 5,000deg of the southern hemisphere using a meta…
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.…
