Stellar Metallicities from DECam u-band Photometry: A Study of Milky Way Ultra-faint Dwarf Galaxies

We conducted an in-depth analysis of candidate member stars located in the peripheries of three ultra-faint dwarf (UFD) galaxy satellites of the Milky Way (MW): Boötes I (Boo1), Boötes II (Boo2), and Segue I (Seg1). Studying these peripheral stars has previously been difficult due to contamination f...
