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.

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

Advances 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

, 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 ...

Chemodynamical Simulations of Dwarf Galaxy Evolution

Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
In this review I give a summary of the state of the art for what concerns the chemo‐dynamical numerical modelling of galaxies in general and of dwarf galaxies in particular. In particular, I focus my attention on (i) initial conditions, (ii) the equations to solve; (iii) the star formation process in galaxies, (iv) the initial mass function, (v) the ...

Are dSph galaxies Galactic building blocks?

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
Dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSph) are frequently assumed to represent surviving examples of a vast now destroyed population of small systems in which many of the stars now forming the Milky Way were formed. Ongoing accretion and considerable sub-structure

Exploring the Structures and Substructures of the Andromeda Satellite Dwarf Galaxies Cassiopeia III, Perseus I, and Lacerta I

The Astronomical Journal, 2023
We present results from wide-field imaging of the resolved stellar populations of the dwarf spheroidal galaxies Cassiopeia III (And XXXII) and Perseus I (And XXXIII), two satellites in the outer stellar halo of the Andromeda galaxy (M31).

Homogeneous Photometry VI: Variable Stars in the Leo I Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy

, 2014
We have characterized the pulsation properties of 164 candidate RR Lyrae variables (RRLs) and 55 candidate Anomalous and/or short-period Cepheids in Leo I dwarf spheroidal galaxy.

The Globular Clusters of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies [PDF]

The Astrophysical Journal, 1998
The possibility that the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal might have formed as a Searle-Zinn fragment in the outer halo of the Galaxy is discussed. Arguments in favor of this hypothesis are: (1) The luminosity distribution of globular clusters in both Sagittarius and in the outer halo (Rgc > 80 kpc), appear to be bimodal with peaks near MV ~ -5 and MV ~

Astronomical Signatures of Dark Matter

Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Several independent astronomical observations in different wavelength bands reveal the existence of much larger quantities of matter than what we would deduce from assuming a solar mass to light ratio. They are very high velocities of individual galaxies within clusters of galaxies, higher than expected rotation rates of stars in the outer regions of ...

Intermediate Mass Black Holes: Their Motion and Associated Energetics

Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
There is a lot of current astrophysical evidence and interest in intermediate mass black holes (IMBH), ranging from a few hundred to several thousand solar masses. The active galaxy M82 and the globular cluster G1 in M31, for example, are known to host such objects.
