Galaxias Enanas del Grupo Local

Momento, 2009
The satellite galaxies of the Milky Way are very important both for the studies of the formation and evolution of galaxies and for the research on the dark matter problem. In the present review paper some structural properties of the Local Group, as well

A Study of Abundance Patterns in the Sextans and Sculptor Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal
In this work, we employ a multicomponent decomposition model to study the Sextans and Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxies, which have distinct evolutionary histories.

Search for Ultraheavy Dark Matter from Observations of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies with VERITAS

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Dark matter is a key piece of the current cosmological scenario, with weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) a leading dark matter candidate. WIMPs have not been detected in their conventional parameter space (100 GeV ≲ M _χ ≲ 100 TeV), a mass ...

Chemical Properties of Star-Forming Emission Line Galaxies at z=0.1 - 0.5

, 1998
We measure oxygen and nitrogen abundances for 14 star-forming emission line galaxies (ELGs) at 0 ...

The Magellanic Group and the Seven Dwarfs [PDF]

, 2008
The Magellanic Clouds were the largest members of a group of dwarf galaxies that entered the Milky Way (MW) halo at late times. This group, dominated by the LMC, contained ~4% of the mass of the Milky Way prior to its accretion and tidal disruption, but ~

Dynamics of the Fornax Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1987
The mass to light ratio of the inner parts of the Fornax system is 3.2 ± 1.1. Its major axis rotation is only 3.4 ± 2.4 km s-1 over ± 1 kpc, which argues against its origin as a stripped dwarf irregular.

A Survey for Low-Surface-Brightness Galaxies Around M31. I. The Newly Discovered Dwarf Andromeda V

, 1998
We present images and a color-magnitude diagram for And V, a new dwarf spheroidal companion to M31 that was found using a digital filtering technique applied to 1550 square degrees of the second Palomar Sky Survey.

Hubble Space Telescope Photometry of the Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy ESO 410-G005 [PDF]

, 2000
We present HST WFPC2 imaging of the nearby low-surface-brightness dwarf spheroidal galaxy ESO 410-G005, which has been resolved into stars for the first time. The resulting color-magnitude diagram for about 2500 stars shows a red giant branch branch with

Metallicity gradients in the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy [PDF]

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2001
Metallicity gradients in the Sagittarius dwarf Galaxy (Sgr) are investigated by using infrared photometric data from the 2MASS survey. To search for metallicity effects, the giant branch in a field situated near the Center of the Sgr is compared to the giant branch in a field situated near its southern edge.

Can Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies Host a Central Black Hole?

The Astrophysical Journal
We construct mass models of Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies to place constraints on the central black hole masses they can host. We model the galaxies as a three-component system consisting of the stars, dark matter halo, and a central black hole ...
