The Kinematics of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies

, 1997
I review observational data on the kinematic properties of dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the halo of the Milky Way and beyond. The present data confirm previous claims that these galaxies have unusually large central velocity dispersions. `Simple' sources of bias such as binary stars, internal atmospheric motions, measurement errors, and small sample ...

Origin of structural and kinematical properties of the Small Magellanic Cloud

, 2009
We investigate structural, kinematical, and chemical properties of stars and gas in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) interacting with the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the Galaxy based on a series of self-consistent chemodynamical simulations.

Disentangling γ − β: The Fourth-order Velocity Moments Based on Spherical Jeans Analysis

The Astrophysical Journal
Distinguishing a core and a cusp within dark matter halos is complexified by the existence of mass-anisotropy degeneracy, where various combinations of velocity anisotropy ( β ) and inner density slope ( γ ) yield similar observational signatures.

Little Bear’s pulsating stars: Variable star census of UMi dSph Galaxy

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Recent observations and a photometric search for variable stars in the Ursa Minor dwarf spheroidal galaxy (UMi dSph) are presented. Our observations were taken at Apache Point Observatory in 2014 and 2016 using the 0.5m ARCSAT telescope and the West ...

Elemental Abundances in And XIX from Coadded Spectra

The Astrophysical Journal
With a luminosity similar to that of Milky Way dwarf spheroidal systems like Sextans, but a spatial extent similar to that of ultra-diffuse galaxies, Andromeda (And) XIX is an unusual satellite of M31. To investigate the origin of this galaxy, we measure

Are Local Group Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies the First Safe Planet-hosting Environments?

The Astrophysical Journal
We explore whether Local Group dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies might have hosted Earth-like planets dwelling unexposed for several billions of years to major galactic threats to life, such as supernovae and gamma-ray bursts.
