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…
The DECam MAGIC Survey: Investigating the Jet Stellar Stream with Photometric Metallicities
H. Q. Do, A. Chiti, P. S. Ferguson +27
Stellar streams are dynamically fragile structures formed by the tidal disruption of dwarf galaxies and stellar clusters. These objects are valuable tracers of the gravitational po…
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…
A Path to an All-Sky Survey with Roman
Jiwon Jesse Han, Anirudh Chiti, Kai-Feng Chen +93
A deep, space-based, all-sky near-infrared survey carried out with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope would constitute a foundational astronomical infrastructure for decades to…
Identifying Dwarfs of MC Analog GalaxiEs (ID-MAGE): The Search for Satellites Around Low-Mass Hosts
Laura Congreve Hunter, Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil, David J. Sand +11
We present results from ID-MAGE (Identifying Dwarfs of MC Analog GalaxiEs), a survey aimed at identifying and characterizing unresolved satellite galaxies around 36~nearby LMC- and…
