Milky Way satellite census. I. The observational selection function for Milky Way satellites in DES Y3 and Pan-STARRS DR1

A Drlica-Wagner, K Bechtol, S Mau… - The Astrophysical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We report the results of a systematic search for ultra-faint Milky Way satellite galaxies using
data from the Dark Energy Survey (DES) and Pan-STARRS1 (PS1). Together, DES and PS1 …

Stellar streams discovered in the dark energy survey

N Shipp, A Drlica-Wagner, E Balbinot… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We perform a search for stellar streams around the Milky Way using the first 3 yr of multiband

[HTML][HTML] A New Population of Mid-infrared-selected Tidal Disruption Events: Implications for Tidal Disruption Event Rates and Host Galaxy Properties

M Masterson, K De, C Panagiotou, E Kara… - The Astrophysical …, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Most tidal disruption events (TDEs) are currently found in time-domain optical and soft X-ray
surveys, both of which are prone to significant obscuration. The infrared (IR), however, is a …

Milky way satellite census. ii. galaxy–halo connection constraints including the impact of the large magellanic cloud

EO Nadler, RH Wechsler, K Bechtol… - The Astrophysical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract The population of Milky Way (MW) satellites contains the faintest known galaxies

Constraints on dark matter microphysics from the milky way satellite population

EO Nadler, V Gluscevic, KK Boddy… - The Astrophysical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Alternatives to the cold, collisionless dark matter (DM) paradigm in which DM behaves as a
collisional fluid generically suppress small-scale structure. Herein we use the observed …
