The Isaac Newton Telescope Monitoring Survey of Local Group Dwarf Galaxies. VIII. A Census of Long-period Variable Stars across the Andromeda Dwarf Satellite System

The Astrophysical Journal
We present a comprehensive catalog, in the Sloan i and Harris V filters, of long-period variable (LPV) stars in the spheroidal dwarf satellites of the Andromeda galaxy based on a dedicated survey for variable stars in Local Group dwarf systems.

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

The long-term evolution of ultra-faint dwarf galaxies and observational implications

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. In the Local Group, dwarf spheroidal galaxies and ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs) exhibit large velocity dispersions. These values are generally attributed to the presence of substantial amounts of dark matter (DM), in line with predictions of

Evaluating the Potential to Constrain Dark Matter Annihilation with Fermi-LAT Observations of Ultrafaint Compact Stellar Systems

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
Recent results from numerical simulations and models of galaxy formation suggest that recently discovered ultrafaint compact stellar systems (UFCSs) in the halo of the Milky Way (MW) may be some of the smallest and faintest galaxies. If this is the case,

A Census of Dwarf Galaxy Satellites around LMC-mass Galaxy NGC 2403

The Astrophysical Journal
We present the first comprehensive census of the satellite population around a Large Magellanic Cloud stellar-mass galaxy, as part of the Magellanic Analog Dwarf Companions and Stellar Halos (MADCASH) survey. We have surveyed NGC 2403 ( D = 3.0 Mpc) with
