Two Ultra-Faint Milky Way Stellar Systems Discovered in Early Data from the DECam Local Volume Exploration Survey
S. Mau, W. Cerny, A. B. Pace +56
We report the discovery of two ultra-faint stellar systems found in early data from the DECam Local Volume Exploration survey (DELVE). The first system, Centaurus I (DELVE J1238-40…
A DECam View of the Diffuse Dwarf Galaxy Crater II: Variable Stars
A. Katherina Vivas, Alistair R. Walker, Clara E. Martínez-Vázquez +11
Time series observations of a single dithered field centered on the diffuse dwarf satellite galaxy Crater II were obtained with the Dark Energy Camera (DECam) at the 4m Blanco Tele…
A DECam View of the Diffuse Dwarf Galaxy Crater II: The Colour-Magnitude Diagram
A. R. Walker, C. E. Martínez-Vázquez, M. Monelli +12
We present a deep Blanco/DECam colour-magnitude diagram (CMD) for the large but very diffuse Milky Way satellite dwarf galaxy Crater II. The CMD shows only old stars with a clearly…
Search for RR Lyrae stars in DES ultra-faint systems: Grus I, Kim 2, Phoenix II, and Grus II
C. E. Martínez-Vázquez, A. K. Vivas, M. Foucoin +57
This work presents the first search for RR Lyrae stars (RRLs) in four of the ultra-faint systems imaged by the Dark Energy Survey (DES) using SOAR/Goodman and Blanco/DECam imagers.…
Identification of RR Lyrae stars in multiband, sparsely-sampled data from the Dark Energy Survey using template fitting and Random Forest classification
K. M. Stringer, J. P. Long, L. M. Macri +75
Many studies have shown that RR Lyrae variable stars (RRL) are powerful stellar tracers of Galactic halo structure and satellite galaxies. The Dark Energy Survey (DES), with its de…
