Scylla at APOGEE: The Impact of Starbursts on the Chemical Evolution of the Magellanic Clouds
Ivanna Escala, Kristen B. W. McQuinn, Sten Hasselquist +11
Owing to their proximity to the Milky Way, the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (L/SMC) uniquely probe the evolution of low-mass galaxies undergoing mutual interactions. In this w…
The primordial nature of the C-19 stellar stream
Kim A. Venn, Zhen Yuan, Nicolas F. Martin +32
Stellar streams, remnants of compact star systems stretched out by the tidal forces of the Milky Way, offer a unique way to study stellar populations that formed billions of years…
GHOST commissioning science results -- IV: Chemodynamical analyses of Milky Way satellites Sagittarius II and Aquarius II
Daria Zaremba, Kim Venn, Christian R. Hayes +28
We present Gemini/GHOST high-resolution spectra of five stars observed in two low surface brightness Milky Way satellites, Sagittarius II (Sgr2) and Aquarius II (Aqu2). For Aqu2, t…
Deep in the Fields of the Andromeda Halo: Discovery of the Pegasus VII dwarf galaxy in UNIONS
Simon E. T. Smith, Alan W. McConnachie, Stephen Gwyn +8
We present the newly discovered dwarf galaxy Pegasus VII (Peg VII), a member of the M31 sub-group which has been uncovered in the photometric catalogs from the Ultraviolet Nea…
High-Resolution Dayside Spectroscopy of WASP-189b: Detection of Iron during the GHOST/Gemini South System Verification Run
Emily K. Deibert, Adam B. Langeveld, Mitchell E. Young +30
With high equilibrium temperatures and tidally locked rotation, ultra-hot Jupiters (UHJs) are unique laboratories within which to probe extreme atmospheric physics and chemistry. I…
GHOST Commissioning Science Results III: Characterizing an iron-poor damped Lyman system
Trystyn A. M. Berg, Christian R. Hayes, Stefano Cristiani +20
The Gemini High-resolution Optical SpecTrograph (GHOST) is a new echelle spectrograph available on the Gemini-South telescope as of Semester 2024A. We present the first high resolu…
