GD-1 Stellar Stream and Cocoon in the DESI Early Data Release

We present  ∼115 new spectroscopically identified members of the GD-1 tidal stream observed with the 5000-fiber Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). We confirm the existence of a “cocoon,” which is a broad (FWHM ∼ 2 $\mathop{.}\limits^{\unicode{x000b0}}$ 932 ∼ 460 pc) and kinematically hot (...
