DES 1

DES 1

DES 1, a galactic satellite, is characterized by an overdensity of old, metal-poor stars. Notably elongated, DES 1 exhibits a high eccentricity, indicating a dynamic process of tidal disruption. The findings prompt deeper imaging and spectroscopic follow-up investigations, with ongoing efforts to gather more information. The study underscores the continued search for satellites in DES data, anticipating further discoveries of stellar systems in the Milky Way.
