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…
Predictions for the Abundance of High-redshift Galaxies in a Fuzzy Dark Matter Universe
Yueying Ni, Mei-Yu Wang, Yu Feng +1
During the last decades, rapid progress has been made in measurements of the rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) luminosity function (LF) for high-redshift galaxies (). The faint…
Dark Matter Science in the Era of LSST
Keith Bechtol, Alex Drlica-Wagner, Kevork N. Abazajian +177
Astrophysical observations currently provide the only robust, empirical measurements of dark matter. In the coming decade, astrophysical observations will guide other experimental…
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…
Probing the Fundamental Nature of Dark Matter with the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope
Alex Drlica-Wagner, Yao-Yuan Mao, Susmita Adhikari +97
Astrophysical and cosmological observations currently provide the only robust, empirical measurements of dark matter. Future observations with Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST…
