Spectroscopic Confirmation of the Sixth Globular Cluster in the Fornax Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
Andrew B. Pace, Matthew G. Walker, Sergey E. Koposov +5
The Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy has an anomalous number of globular clusters, five, for its stellar mass. There is a longstanding debate about a potential sixth globular cluster…
Preliminary Target Selection for the DESI Milky Way Survey (MWS)
Carlos Allende Prieto, Andrew P. Cooper, Arjun Dey +31
The DESI Milky Way Survey (MWS) will observe 8 million stars between mag, supplemented by observations of brighter targets under poor observing conditions. The s…
Milky Way Satellite Census. II. Galaxy--Halo Connection Constraints Including the Impact of the Large Magellanic Cloud
E. O. Nadler, R. H. Wechsler, K. Bechtol +63
The population of Milky Way (MW) satellites contains the faintest known galaxies and thus provides essential insight into galaxy formation and dark matter microphysics. Here we com…
The Great Escape: Discovery of a nearby 1700 km/s star ejected from the Milky Way by Sgr A*
Sergey E. Koposov, Douglas Boubert, Ting S. Li +17
We present the serendipitous discovery of the fastest Main Sequence hyper-velocity star (HVS) by the Southern Stellar Stream Spectroscopic Survey (S5). The star S5-HVS1 is a $\sim…
Rediscovery of the Sixth Star Cluster in the Fornax Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
Mei-Yu Wang, Sergey Koposov, Alex Drlica-Wagner +58
Since first noticed by Shapley in 1939, a faint object coincident with the Fornax dwarf spheroidal has long been discussed as a possible sixth globular cluster system. However, deb…
The morphology and structure of stellar populations in the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy from Dark Energy Survey Data
Mei-Yu Wang, T. de Boer, A. Pieres +55
Using deep wide-field photometry three-year data (Y3) from the Dark Energy Survey (DES), we present a panoramic study of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy. The data presented here…
