Warm Dark Matter Sterile Neutrinos in Electron Capture and Beta Decay Spectra

open access: yesAdvances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2016, Issue 1, 2016., 2016
We briefly review the motivation to search for sterile neutrinos in the keV mass scale, as dark matter candidates, and the prospects to find them in beta decay or electron capture spectra, with a global perspective. We describe the fundamentals of the neutrino flavor‐mass eigenstate mismatch that opens the possibility of detecting sterile neutrinos in ...

THE MODELLING OF THE MASS-METALLICITY RELATION FOR THE LOCAL GROUP DWARF GALAXIES

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2008
We present results of modelling of the mass-metallicity relation for the Local Group dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies. In this work, we use a single-zone chemo-dynamical model. Our model is based on the scheme suggested by C. Firmani and A. Tutukov (1992)

Deep photometry of the Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 1986
We report the results of deep CCD photometry of two overlapping fields in the Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We find (B-V)o,g = m0.69, indicating a mean [Fe/H] = −2.0. The width of the giant branch below the horizontal branch is somewhat wider than our observational errors permit, from which we infer there is a spread in metallicities amongst the Draco

UGC 7639: A Dwarf Galaxy in the Canes Venatici I Cloud

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
We want to get insight into the formation mechanism and the evolution of UGC 7639, a dwarf galaxy in the Canes Venatici I Cloud (CVnIC). We used archival multiwavelength data to constrain its global properties. Ultraviolet images show that UGC 7639 inner regions are composed mostly by young stellar populations.

THE HOT DARK MATTER MODEL: FURTHER INVESTIGATION

open access: yesOdessa Astronomical Publications, 2020
e outer region with the dominant hot dark matter (the parabolic orbit of the test particle). It was assumed that the hot dark matter consists of hypothetical Planck neutrinos arising in the decay of the protons at the Planck scale.

Constraining Dwarf Spheroidal Dark Matter Halos With The Galactic Center Excess

open access: yes, 2017
If the gamma-ray excess from the galactic center reported by Fermi-LAT is a signal from annihilating dark matter, one must question why a similar excess has not been observed in dwarf spheroidal galaxies.

THE CHEMICAL EVOLUTION OF THE DRACO DWARF SPHEROIDAL GALAXY [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2009
We present an abundance analysis based on high resolution spectra of 8 stars selected to span the full range in metallicity in the Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We find [Fe/H] for the sample stars ranges from -1.5 to -3.0 dex. Combining our sample with previously published work for a total of 14 luminous Draco giants, we show that the abundance ratios

The Tucana dwarf spheroidal galaxy: not such a massive failure after all [PDF]

open access: yesAstronomy & Astrophysics, 2020
Context. Isolated local group (LG) dwarf galaxies have evolved most or all of their life unaffected by interactions with the large LG spirals and therefore offer the opportunity to learn about the intrinsic characteristics of this class of objects. Aims.

Chemical and Photometric Evolution Models for Disk, Irregular, and Low Mass Galaxies

open access: yesAdvances in Astronomy, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
We summarize the updated set of multiphase chemical evolution models performed with 44 theoretical radial mass initial distributions and 10 possible values of efficiencies to form molecular clouds and stars. We present the results about the infall rate histories, the formation of the disk, and the evolution of the radial distributions of diffuse and ...

A MegaCam Survey of Outer Halo Satellites. VII. A Single S\'ersic Index v/s Effective Radius Relation for Milky Way Outer Halo Satellites

open access: yes, 2019
In this work we use structural properties of Milky Way's outer halo ($R_G > 25\,\mathrm{kpc}$) satellites (dwarf spheroidal galaxies, ultra-faint dwarf galaxies and globular clusters) derived from deep, wide-field and homogeneous data, to present ...
