Mass Modelling of dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2007
AbstractWe study the origin and properties of unbound stars in the kinematic samples of dwarf spheroidal galaxies. For this purpose we have run a high resolution N-body simulation of a two-component dwarf galaxy orbiting in a Milky Way potential. We create mock kinematic data sets by observing the dwarf in different directions.

Globular clusters and dwarf spheroidal galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2008
Abstract Traditionally, globular clusters and dwarf spheroidal galaxies have been distinguished by using one or more of the following criteria: (i) mass, (ii) luminosity, (iii) size, (iv) mass-to-light ratio and (v) spread in metallicity.

Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1998
We present a study of the smallest and faintest galaxies found in a very deep photographic R band survey of regions of the Virgo Cluster, totalling over 3 square degrees, made with the UK Schmidt Telescope. The objects we detect have the same physical sizes and surface brightnesses as Local Group dwarf spheroidal galaxies.

Dependence of stellar substructures in M31 type galaxy on satellite morphology in galaxy mergers [PDF]

open access: yesSerbian Astronomical Journal, 2022
Stellar streams and shells are observed in halos of spiral galaxies. In this paper, we investigated the formation of these structures due to mergers between the host spiral galaxy and its dwarf satellite galaxies.

Searching for TeV Dark Matter in Irregular Dwarf Galaxies with HAWC Observatory

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
We present the results of dark matter (DM) searches in a sample of 31 dwarf irregular (dIrr) galaxies within the field of view of the HAWC Observatory.

Dwarf spheroidal galaxies: Keystones of galaxy evolution [PDF]

open access: yesPublications of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1994
Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are the most insignificant extragalactic stellar systems in terms of their visibility, but potentially very significant in terms of their role in the formation and evolution of much more luminous galaxies. We discuss the present observational data and their implications for theories of the formation and evolution of both dwarf

Dwarfs in Void Environments (DIVE): The Stellar Kinematics of Void Dwarf Galaxies Using the Keck Cosmic Web Imager

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Dwarf galaxies located in extremely underdense cosmic voids are excellent test beds for disentangling the effects of large-scale environments on galaxy formation and evolution. We present the first results of the Dwarfs in Void Environments Survey, which
