The Merian Survey: A Statistical Census of Bright Satellites of Milky Way Analogs
Yue Pan, Shany Danieli, Jenny E. Greene +10
We present a statistical census of bright, star-forming satellite galaxies around Milky Way (MW) analogs using the first data release of the Merian Survey. Our sample consists of 3…
Testing the Stellar Feedback-driven Breathing Mode in Low-mass Galaxies with Gas Kinematics
Yifei Luo, Joseph Wick, Alexie Leauthaud +7
Hydrodynamic simulations have proposed that stellar feedback and bursty star-formation can produce dark matter cores in low-mass galaxies. A key prediction is that feedback-driven…
SAGAbg III: Environmental Stellar Mass Functions, Self-Quenching, and the Stellar-to-Halo Mass Relation in the Dwarf Galaxy Regime
Erin Kado-Fong, Yao-Yuan Mao, Yasmeen Asali +8
Recent efforts have extended our view of the number and properties of satellite galaxies beyond the Local Group firmly down to . A similarly complete…
The SAGA Survey. VI. The Size-Mass Relation for Low-Mass Galaxies Across Environments
Yasmeen Asali, Marla Geha, Erin Kado-Fong +10
We investigate how Milky Way-like environments influence the sizes and structural properties of low-mass galaxies by comparing satellites of Milky Way analogs from the Satellites A…
Stellar Mass Calibrations for Local Low-Mass Galaxies
Mithi A. C. de los Reyes, Yasmeen Asali, Risa Wechsler +10
The stellar masses of galaxies are measured using integrated light via several methods -- however, few of these methods were designed for low-mass ($M_{\star}\lesssim10^{8}\rm{M_{\…
The SAGA Survey. V. Modeling Satellite Systems around Milky Way-mass Galaxies with Updated UniverseMachine
Yunchong Wang, Ethan O. Nadler, Yao-Yuan Mao +11
Environment plays a critical role in shaping the assembly of low-mass galaxies. Here, we use the UniverseMachine (UM) galaxy-halo connection framework and the Data Release 3 of the…
