The DECam MAGIC Survey: Spectroscopic Follow-up of the Most Metal-Poor Stars in the Distant Milky Way Halo

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Vinicius M. Placco, Guilherme Limberg, Anirudh Chiti, Deepthi S. Prabhu, Alexander P. Ji | Summary: In this work, we present high-resolution spectroscopic observations for six metal-poor stars with [Fe/H]<-3 (including one with [Fe/H]<-4), selected using narrow-band Ca II HK photometry from the DECam MAGIC Survey. The […]

Chemical Abundances in the Metal-Poor Globular Cluster ESO 280-SC06: A Formerly Massive, Tidally Disrupted Globular Cluster

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Sam A. Usman, Alexander P. Ji, Jandrie Rodriguez, Jeffrey D. Simpson, Sarah L. Martell | Summary: We present the first high-resolution abundance study of ESO 280-SC06, one of the least luminous and most metal-poor gravitationally bound Milky Way globular clusters. Using Magellan/MIKE spectroscopy for ten stars, […]

Procedures for Constraining Robotic Fiber Positioning for Highly Multiplexed Spectroscopic Surveys: The Case of FPS for SDSS-V

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander Ji | First 5 Authors: Ilija Medan, Tom Dwelly, Kevin R. Covey, Eleonora Zari, Michael R. Blanton | Summary: One crucial aspect of planning any large scale astronomical survey is constructing an observing strategy that maximizes reduced data quality. This is especially important for surveys that are rather heterogeneous and broad-ranging in […]

TDCOSMO 2025: Cosmological constraints from strong lensing time delays

Kavli Affiliate: Joshua A. Frieman | First 5 Authors: Simon Birrer, Elizabeth J. Buckley-Geer, Michele Cappellari, Frederic Courbin, Frederic Dux | Summary: We present cosmological constraints from 8 strongly lensed quasars (hereafter, the TDCOSMO-2025 sample). Building on previous work, our analysis incorporated new deflector stellar velocity dispersions measured from spectra obtained with the James Webb […]
