LSST Cadence Optimization White Paper: The Definitive Map of the Galactic bulge
Oscar A. Gonzalez, Will Clarkson, Victor P. Debattista +14
We recommend configuring the LSST coverage of the inner Galactic plane to allow the production of the definitive age/metallicity map of the Galactic bulge from LSST data, matched t…
The Plane's The Thing: The Case for Wide-Fast-Deep Coverage of the Galactic Plane and Bulge
Jay Strader, Elias Aydi, Christopher Britt +21
We argue that the exclusion of the Galactic Plane and Bulge from the uniform wide-fast-deep (WFD) LSST survey cadence is fundamentally inconsistent with two of the main science dri…
Hubble Space Telescope FUV observations of M31's globular clusters suggest a spatially homogeneous helium-enriched sub population
Mark Peacock, Stephen Zepf, Thomas Maccarone +4
We present high spatial resolution, far ultraviolet (FUV) F140LP observations of 12 massive globular clusters in M 31 obtained using the ACS/SBC on the Hubble Space Telescope (HST)…
The faint end of the Centaurus A satellite luminosity function
D. Crnojević, D. J. Sand, P. N. Bennet +9
The Panoramic Imaging Survey of Centaurus and Sculptor (PISCeS) is constructing a wide-field map of the resolved stellar populations in the extended halos of these two nearby, prom…
A 3.5-million Solar Masses Black Hole in the Centre of the Ultracompact Dwarf Galaxy Fornax UCD3
Anton V. Afanasiev, Igor V. Chilingarian, Steffen Mieske +16
The origin of ultracompact dwarfs (UCDs), a class of compact stellar systems discovered two decades ago, still remains a matter of debate. Recent discoveries of central supermassiv…
A Complete Census of Luminous Stellar Variability on Day to Decade Timescales
Charlie Conroy, Jay Strader, Pieter van Dokkum +6
Stellar photometric variability offers a novel probe of the interior structure and evolutionary state of stars. Here we present a census of stellar variability on day to decade tim…
Upper limits on the presence of central massive black holes in two ultra-compact dwarf galaxies in Centaurus A
Karina T. Voggel, Anil C. Seth, Nadine Neumayer +10
The recent discovery of massive black holes (BHs) in the centers of high-mass ultra compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) suggests that at least some are the stripped nuclear star clusters…
