Variable stars in the VVV globular clusters III. RR Lyrae stars in the inner Galactic globular clusters

Javier Alonso-García, Leigh C. Smith, Jason L. Sanders +13

High reddening near the Galactic plane hampers observations and proper characterization of the globular clusters (GCs) located toward the inner regions of the Milky Way. The VISTA…

A Pride of Satellites in the Constellation Leo? Discovery of the Leo VI Milky Way Satellite Galaxy with DELVE Early Data Release 3

C. Y. Tan, W. Cerny, A. Drlica-Wagner +32

We report the discovery and spectroscopic confirmation of an ultra-faint Milky Way (MW) satellite in the constellation of Leo. This system was discovered as a spatial overdensity o…

Taking the pulse of the outer Milky Way with HOWVAST: an RR Lyrae density profile out to 200 kpc

Gustavo E. Medina, Ricardo R. Muñoz, Jeffrey L. Carlin +4

In order to constrain the evolutionary history of the Milky Way, we hunt for faint RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) using Dark Energy Camera data from the High cadence Transient Survey (HiTS)…

RR Lyrae Stars Belonging to the Candidate Globular Cluster Patchick 99

Evan Butler, Andrea Kunder, Zdenek Prudil +16

Patchick 99 is a candidate globular cluster located in the direction of the Galactic bulge, with a proper motion almost identical to the field and extreme field star contamination.…

Extended stellar populations in Ultra-Faint Dwarf galaxies

Elisa A. Tau, A. Katherina Vivas, Clara E. Martínez-Vázquez

The possible existence of stellar halos in low-mass galaxies is being intensely discussed nowadays after some recent discoveries of stars located in the outskirts of dwarf galaxies…

The Milky Way Bulge extra-tidal star survey: BH 261 (AL 3)

Andrea Kunder, Zdenek Prudil, Kevin Covey +19

The Milky Way Bulge extra-tidal star survey (MWBest) is a spectroscopic survey with the goal of identifying stripped globular cluster stars from inner Galaxy clusters. In this way,…
