The MAGIC survey provides photometric metallicities for RGB stars over ~3000 deg² using CaHK narrow-band imaging plus DELVE g,r,i data, recovering 13/14 known ultra-faint dwarfs and confirming a distant Reticulum II member.

The Gaia BH3 companion exhibits an r-I abundance pattern reproduced by core-collapse supernova plus r-process yields and closely matching diluted ED-2 stars, supporting early cluster enrichment over local pollution.
The paper reports 21 previously unknown variable stars in M71 along with refined cluster parameters (age 12.9 Gyr, [Fe/H] = -0.88, E(B-V) = 0.21, distance modulus 13.01) from a decontaminated CMD.
Empirical zero-point constants for Gaia bolometric corrections are derived as weighted averages 0.8677, 1.0449, and 2.0510 mag for G, GBP, and GRP from 88 stars, yielding corresponding magnitude zero-points via IAU definitions.
Photometric metallicities from DECam identify 213 Jet stream candidates and detect fanning in the stream morphology.
