The stellar halo in Local Group Hestia simulations III. Chemical abundance relations for accreted and in-situ stars

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Sergey Khoperskov, Ivan Minchev, Noam Libeskind, Vasily Belokurov, Matthias Steinmetz | Summary: Since the chemical abundances of stars are the fossil records of the physical conditions in galaxies, they provide the key information for recovering the assembly history of galaxies. In this work, we explore the chemo-chrono-kinematics […]

Testing the Reliability of X-rays as a Tool for Constraining Mass-loss Rates of Hot Stars

Kavli Affiliate: David P. Huenemoerder | First 5 Authors: Sean J. Gunderson, Kenneth G. Gayley, Pragati Pradhan, David P. Huenemoerder, Nathan A. Miller | Summary: We fit a new line shape model to textit{Chandra} X-ray spectra of the O supergiant $zeta$ Puppis to test the robustness of mass-loss rates derived from X-ray wind line profiles […]

Evolution of a Relativistic Outflow and X-ray Corona in the Extreme Changing-Look AGN 1ES 1927+654

Kavli Affiliate: Ronald A. Remillard | First 5 Authors: Megan Masterson, Erin Kara, Claudio Ricci, Javier A. GarcĂ­a, Andrew C. Fabian | Summary: 1ES 1927+654 is a paradigm-defying AGN and one of the most peculiar X-ray nuclear transients. In early 2018, this well-known AGN underwent a changing-look event, in which broad optical emission lines appeared […]

Magellan/IMACS spectroscopy of Grus I: a low metallicity ultra-faint dwarf galaxy

Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Anirudh Chiti, Joshua D. Simon, Anna Frebel, Andrew B. Pace, Alexander P. Ji | Summary: We present a chemodynamical study of the Grus I ultra-faint dwarf galaxy (UFD) from medium-resolution ($Rsim11,000$) Magellan/IMACS spectra of its individual member stars. We identify eight confirmed members of Grus I, based […]

The stellar halo in Local Group Hestia simulations II. The accreted component

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Sergey Khoperskov, Ivan Minchev, Noam Libeskind, Misha Haywood, Paola Di Matteo | Summary: In the Milky Way, recent progress in the exploration of its assembly history is driven by the tremendous amount of high-quality data delivered by Gaia, which has revealed a number of substructures potentially linked […]

The stellar halo in Local Group Hestia simulations I. The in-situ component and the effect of mergers

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Sergey Khoperskov, Ivan Minchev, Noam Libeskind, Misha Haywood, Paola Di Matteo | Summary: Theory suggests that mergers play an important role in shaping galactic disks and stellar haloes, which was observationally confirmed in the MW thanks to the Gaia data. In this work, aiming to probe the […]

TESS Shines Light on the Origin of the Ambiguous Nuclear Transient ASASSN-18el

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Jason T. Hinkle, Christopher S. Kochanek, Benjamin J. Shappee, Patrick J. Vallely, Katie Auchettl | Summary: We analyze high-cadence data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) of the ambiguous nuclear transient (ANT) ASASSN-18el. The optical changing-look phenomenon in ASASSN-18el has been argued to be due to […]
