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

Laboratory exploration of mineral precipitates from Europa's subsurface ocean
Journal of Applied Crystallography, Volume 54, Issue 5, Page 1455-1479, October 2021., 2021 Precipitation experiments from a model Europan ocean solution subjected to fast and slow freezing suggest that the highly hydrated Na–Mg sulfate phase Na2Mg(SO4)2·16H2O is one of the lowest‐temperature mineral phases likely to be stable on Europa's surface and may therefore be astrobiologically significant.The precipitation of hydrated phases from a ...

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

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 126, Issue 5, May 2021., 2021 Abstract The origin of the interstellar object 1I/‘Oumuamua has defied explanation. In a companion paper (Jackson & Desch, 2021), we show that a body of N2 ice with axes 45 m × 44 m × 7.5 m at the time of observation would be consistent with its albedo, nongravitational acceleration, and lack of observed CO or CO2 or dust.

The 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

The Cusp–Core Problem in Gas-Poor Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies
Galaxies, 2021 This review deals with the inconsistency of inner dark matter density profiles in dwarf galaxies, known as the cusp–core problem. In particular, we aim to focus on gas-poor dwarf galaxies.

Tidal Dwarf Galaxies and Missing Baryons
Advances in Astronomy, 2010 Tidal dwarf galaxies form during the interaction, collision, or merger of massive spiral galaxies. They can resemble “normal” dwarf galaxies in terms of mass, size, and become dwarf satellites orbiting around their massive progenitor.

The quest for dark matter in dwarf spheroidal galaxies with the Cherenkov Telescope Array [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2019 Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are among the best environments that can be studied with Cherenkov telescopes for indirect searches of γ-ray signals coming from dark matter self-interaction (annihilation or decay), due to their proximity and negligible ...

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 While recent sky surveys have uncovered large numbers of ever fainter Milky Way satellites, their classification as star clusters, low-luminosity galaxies, or tidal overdensities remains often unclear. Likewise, their contributions to the build-up of the

Abundance Analysis of Stars at Large Radius in the Sextans Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present the stellar parameters and chemical abundances of 30 elements for five stars located at large radii (3.5–10.7 times the half-light radius) in the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We selected these stars using proper motions, radial velocities,
