We report the discovery of two ultra-faint stellar systems found in early data from the DECam
Local Volume Exploration survey (DELVE). The first system, Centaurus I (DELVE J1238–
4054), is identified as a resolved overdensity of old and metal-poor stars with a heliocentric
distance of ${\text {}}{D} _ {\odot}={116.3} _ {-0.6}^{+ 0.6}\,\mathrm {kpc} $
