: New insights from deep spectroscopic observations of the tidal tails of the globular clusters NGC 1261 and NGC 1904
Petra Awad, Ting S. Li, Denis Erkal +22
As globular clusters (GCs) orbit the Milky Way, their stars are tidally stripped forming tidal tails that follow the orbit of the clusters around the Galaxy. The morphology of thes…
The Local Volume Database: a library of the observed properties of nearby dwarf galaxies and star clusters
Andrew B. Pace
I present the Local Volume Database (LVDB), a catalog of the observed properties of dwarf galaxies and star clusters in the Local Group and Local Volume. The LVDB includes position…
Eridanus III and DELVE 1: Carbon-rich Primordial Star Clusters or the Smallest Dwarf Galaxies?
Joshua D. Simon, Ting S. Li, Alexander P. Ji +8
We present spectroscopy of the ultra-faint Milky Way satellites Eridanus III (Eri III) and DELVE 1. We identify eight member stars in each satellite and place non-constraining uppe…
Chemical Abundances in the Leiptr Stellar Stream: A Disrupted Ultra-faint Dwarf Galaxy?
Kaia R. Atzberger, Sam A. Usman, Alexander P. Ji +11
Chemical abundances of stellar streams can be used to determine the nature of a stream's progenitor. Here we study the progenitor of the recently discovered Leiptr stellar stream,…
Discovery and Spectroscopic Confirmation of Aquarius III: A Low-Mass Milky Way Satellite Galaxy
W. Cerny, A. Chiti, M. Geha +37
We present the discovery of Aquarius III, an ultra-faint Milky Way satellite galaxy identified in the second data release of the DECam Local Volume Exploration (DELVE) survey. Base…
Three Quenched, Faint Dwarf Galaxies in the Direction of NGC 300: New Probes of Reionization and Internal Feedback
D. J. Sand, B. Mutlu-Pakdil, M. G. Jones +18
We report the discovery of three faint and ultra-faint dwarf galaxies -- Sculptor A, Sculptor B and Sculptor C -- in the direction of NGC 300 (D=2.0 Mpc), a Large Magellanic Cloud-…
