RR Lyrae stars as probes of the outer Galactic halo: Chemical and kinematic analysis of a pilot sample
Gustavo E. Medina, Camilla J. Hansen, Ricardo R. Muñoz +4
We report the spectroscopic analysis of 20 halo ab-type RR Lyrae stars with heliocentric distances between 15 and 165 kpc, conducted using medium-resolution spectra from the Magell…
Reading Between the (Spectral) Lines: Magellan/IMACS spectroscopy of the Ultra-faint Dwarf Galaxies Eridanus IV and Centaurus I
M. E. Heiger, T. S. Li, A. B. Pace +17
We present a spectroscopic analysis of Eridanus IV (Eri IV) and Centaurus I (Cen I), two ultra-faint dwarf galaxies of the Milky Way. Using IMACS/Magellan spectroscopy, we identify…
DELVE 6: An Ancient, Ultra-Faint Star Cluster on the Outskirts of the Magellanic Clouds
W. Cerny, A. Drlica-Wagner, T. S. Li +23
We present the discovery of DELVE 6, an ultra-faint stellar system identified in the second data release of the DECam Local Volume Exploration (DELVE) survey. Based on a maximum-li…
The Early Data Release of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument
DESI Collaboration, A. G. Adame, J. Aguilar +266
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) completed its five-month Survey Validation in May 2021. Spectra of stellar and extragalactic targets from Survey Validation constitu…
Validation of the Scientific Program for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument
DESI Collaboration, A. G. Adame, J. Aguilar +261
The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) was designed to conduct a survey covering 14,000 deg over five years to constrain the cosmic expansion history through precise m…
The Merian Survey: Design, Construction, and Characterization of a Filter Set Optimized to Find Dwarf Galaxies and Measure their Dark Matter Halo Properties with Weak Lensing
Yifei Luo, Alexie Leauthaud, Jenny Greene +28
The Merian survey is mapping 850 degrees of the Hyper Suprime-Cam Strategic Survey Program (HSC-SSP) wide layer with two medium-band filters on the 4-meter Victor M. Bla…
