What to expect when using globular clusters as tracers of the total mass distribution in Milky Way-mass galaxies
Meghan E. Hughes, Prashin Jethwa, Michael Hilker +8
Dynamical models allow us to connect the motion of a set of tracers to the underlying gravitational potential, and thus to the total (luminous and dark) matter distribution. They a…
Disentangling the formation history of galaxies via population-orbit superposition: method validation
Ling Zhu, Glenn van de Ven, Ryan Leaman +9
We present population-orbit superposition models for external galaxies based on Schwarzschild's orbit-superposition method, by tagging the orbits with age and metallicity. The mode…
The Pisces Plume and the Magellanic Wake
Vasily Belokurov, Alis J. Deason, Denis Erkal +5
Using RR Lyrae stars in the Gaia Data Release 2 and Pan-STARRS1 we study the properties of the Pisces Overdensity, a diffuse sub-structure in the outer halo of the Milky Way. We sh…
A faint halo star cluster discovered in the Blanco Imaging of the Southern Sky Survey
S. Mau, A. Drlica-Wagner, K. Bechtol +13
We present the discovery of a faint, resolved stellar system, BLISS J0321+0438 (BLISS 1), found in Dark Energy Camera data from the first observing run of the Blanco Imaging of the…
Stellar streams around the Magellanic Clouds in 4D
Camila Navarrete, Vasily Belokurov, Márcio Catelan +7
We carried out a spectroscopic follow-up program of the four new stellar stream candidates detected by Belokurov & Koposov (2016) in the outskirts of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LM…
Snake in the Clouds: A new nearby dwarf galaxy in the Magellanic bridge
Sergey E. Koposov, Matthew G. Walker, Vasily Belokurov +9
We report the discovery of a nearby dwarf galaxy in the constellation of Hydrus, between the Large and the Small Magellanic Clouds. Hydrus 1 is a mildy elliptical ultra-faint syste…
