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.

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

The Andromeda Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1999
Our current knowledge of M31's dwarf spheroidal companions is reviewed. Two topics of recent interest constitute the bulk of this review. First, color-magnitude diagrams reaching below the horizontal branch have been constructed for two M31 dwarf spheroidals, based on images from HST/WFPC2. The horizontal branches are predominantly red in both galaxies,

New Type Ia Supernova Yields and the Manganese and Nickel Problems in the Milky Way and Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophysical Journal, 2019
In our quest to identify the progenitors of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia), we first update the nucleosynthesis yields for both near-Chandrasekhar- (Ch) and sub-Ch-mass white dwarfs (WDs) for a wide range of metallicities with our 2D hydrodynamical code and

Combined dark matter searches towards dwarf spheroidal galaxies with Fermi-LAT, HAWC, H.E.S.S., MAGIC, and VERITAS [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Conference on Rebooting Computing, 2019
The search for Dark Matter (DM) has great potential to reveal physics beyond the Standard Model. As such, searches for evidence of DM particles are being carried out using a wide range of techniques, such as direct searches for DM particles, searches for

A global analysis of dark matter signals from 27 dwarf spheroidal galaxies using 11 years of Fermi-LAT observations [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2018
We search for a dark matter signal in 11 years of Fermi-LAT gamma-ray data from 27 Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies with spectroscopically measured J-factors.

Scaling relations for dark matter annihilation and decay profiles in dwarf spheroidal galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2018
Measuring the dark matter distribution in dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) from stellar kinematics is crucial for indirect dark matter searches, as these distributions set the fluxes for both dark matter annihilation (J-Factor) and decay (D-Factor ...

Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1994
Dwarf Spheroidal (dSph) galaxies are the faintest baryonic systems recognized as galaxies. Understanding the structure and stellar populations of these systems is critical for the modelling of their formation and evolution, and by extension, for understanding the general problem of galaxy formation ...

Dark matter in dwarf spheroidal galaxies and indirect detection: a review [PDF]

open access: yesReports on progress in physics. Physical Society, 2018
Indirect dark matter searches targeting dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) have matured rapidly during the past decade. This has been because of the substantial increase in kinematic data sets from the dSphs, the new dSphs that have been discovered, and ...

The Origin Of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1983
Two dwarf spheroidal galaxies are associated with the Magellanic Stream with their major axes oriented along it. Evidence suggests that all the dwarf spheroidal satellites of the Galaxy belong to one or other of two streams of tidal debris. If this is true the orbits will give the first reliable determination of the total mass of the Galaxy out to 120 ...
