A Sequoia in the Garden: FSR 1758 - Dwarf Galaxy or Giant Globular Cluster?
R. H. Barba, D. Minniti, D. Geisler +5
We present the physical characterization of FSR 1758, a new large, massive object very recently discovered in the Galactic Bulge. The combination of optical data from the 2nd Gaia…
A Lonely Giant: The Sparse Satellite Population of M94 Challenges Galaxy Formation
Adam Smercina, Eric F. Bell, Paul A. Price +5
The dwarf satellites of `giant' Milky Way (MW)-mass galaxies are our primary probes of low-mass dark matter halos. The number and velocities of the satellite galaxies of the MW and…
Exploring the Very Extended Low Surface Brightness Stellar Populations of the Large Magellanic Cloud with SMASH
David L. Nidever, Knut Olsen, Yumi Choi +23
We present the detection of very extended stellar populations around the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) out to R~21 degrees, or ~18.5 kpc at the LMC distance of 50 kpc, as detected i…
SMASHing THE LMC: Mapping a Ring-like Stellar Overdensity in the LMC Disk
Yumi Choi, David L. Nidever, Knut Olsen +18
We explore the stellar structure of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) disk using data from the Survey of the MAgellanic Stellar History (SMASH) and the Dark Energy Survey. We detect…
The Auriga Stellar Haloes: Connecting stellar population properties with accretion and merging history
Antonela Monachesi, Facundo A. Gómez, Robert J. J. Grand +9
We examine the stellar haloes of the Auriga simulations, a suite of thirty cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical high-resolution simulations of Milky Way-mass galaxies performed with…
SMASHing the LMC: A Tidally-induced Warp in the Outer LMC and a Large-scale Reddening Map
Yumi Choi, David L. Nidever, Knut Olsen +18
We present a study of the three-dimensional (3D) structure of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using ~2.2 million red clump (RC) stars selected from the Survey of the MAgellanic St…
