The dynamics of Andromeda's dwarf galaxies and stellar streams [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
As part of the Z-PAndAS Keck II DEIMOS survey of resolved stars in our neighboring galaxy, Andromeda (M31), we have built up a unique data set of measured velocities and chemistries for thousands of stars in the Andromeda stellar halo, particularly probing its rich and complex substructure.

EVIDENCE FOR EARLY FILAMENTARY ACCRETION FROM THE ANDROMEDA GALAXY’S THIN PLANE OF SATELLITES [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Recently it has been shown that a large fraction of the dwarf satellite galaxies orbiting the Andromeda galaxy are surprisingly aligned in a thin, extended, and kinematically coherent planar structure.

WATER MASERS IN THE ANDROMEDA GALAXY. I. A SURVEY FOR WATER MASERS, AMMONIA, AND HYDROGEN RECOMBINATION LINES [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We report the results of a Green Bank Telescope survey for water masers, ammonia (1, 1) and (2, 2), and the H66α recombination line toward 506 luminous compact 24 μm emitting regions in the Andromeda Galaxy (M31).

Dynamics of the Halo of the Andromeda Galaxy M31 [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 2003
We present an investigation of the halo dynamics of M31 using planetary nebulae velocities. We have performed on-band [OIII] and off-band continuum imaging for a 3.6 square degree area centred on M31 and follow-up spectroscopy for over 600 planetary nebulae candidates.

Ring or No Ring—Revisiting the Multiphase Nuclear Environment in M31

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Nuclear rings, prevalent in barred galaxies, are essential to understanding gas transport toward galactic nuclei. However, the peculiar nuclear ring in our neighboring galaxy M31 remains poorly understood.

Galaxy Disruption in a Halo of Dark Matter

open access: yes, 2003
The relics of disrupted satellite galaxies around the Milky Way and Andromeda have been found, but direct evidence of a satellite galaxy in the early stages of being disrupted has remained elusive.

The Isaac Newton Telescope Monitoring Survey of Local Group Dwarf Galaxies. VI. The Star Formation History and Dust Production in Andromeda IX

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present a photometric study of the resolved stellar populations in Andromeda IX (And IX), the closest satellite to M31, a metal-poor and low-mass dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We estimate a distance modulus of ${24.56}_{-0.15}^{+0.05}$ mag based on the tip

The distribution of gas in the Local Group from constrained cosmological simulations: the case for Andromeda and the Milky Way galaxies

open access: yes, 2014
We study the gas distribution in the Milky Way and Andromeda using a constrained cosmological simulation of the Local Group (LG) within the context of the CLUES (Constrained Local UniversE Simulations) project.

Star formation laws in the Andromeda galaxy: gas, stars, metals and the surface density of star formation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We use hierarchical Bayesian regression analysis to investigate star formation laws in the Andromeda galaxy (M31) in both local (30, 155, and 750pc) and global cases. We study and compare the well-known Kennicutt-Schmidt law, the extended Schmidt law and

The Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury. XXI. The Legacy Resolved Stellar Photometry Catalog

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
We present the final legacy version of stellar photometry for the Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury (PHAT) survey. We have reprocessed all of the Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 and Advanced Camera for Surveys near-ultraviolet (F275W ...
