Lambda-Cold Dark Matter, Stellar Feedback, and the Galactic Halo Abundance Pattern [PDF]

, 2005
(Abridged) The hierarchical formation scenario for the stellar halo requires the accretion and disruption of dwarf galaxies, yet low-metallicity halo stars are enriched in alpha-elements compared to similar, low-metallicity stars in dwarf spheroidal ...

The Mitchell Spectrograph: Studying Nearby Galaxies with the VIRUS Prototype

Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
The Mitchell Spectrograph (a.k.a. VIRUS‐P) on the 2.7 m Harlan J. Smith telescope at McDonald Observatory is currently the largest field of view (FOV) integral field unit (IFU) spectrograph in the world (1.7′ × 1.7′). It was designed as a prototype for the highly replicable VIRUS spectrograph which consists of a mosaic of IFUs spread over a 16 ...

Exploring the Evolution of a Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy with Smoothed-particle Hydrodynamics Simulations. I. Stellar Feedback

The Astrophysical Journal
A fundamental question regarding the evolution of dwarf spheroidal galaxies is the identification of the key physical mechanisms responsible for gas depletion.

The evolution of the photometric properties of Local Group dwarf spheroidal galaxies

, 2008
We investigate the present-day photometric properties of the dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the Local Group. From the analysis of their integrated colours, we consider a possible link between dwarf spheroidals and giant ellipticals.

Properties of the Photometric Components of Lenticular Galaxies

Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
After almost one century since their definition, the origin of lenticular galaxies is still a matter of debate. Several formation processes have been proposed in order to explain the wide variety of their observational properties. These properties could indicate that the class of lenticulars is a family formed by galaxies with different formations and ...

The DECam MAGIC Survey: A Wide-field Photometric Metallicity Study of the Sculptor Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy

The Astrophysical Journal
The metallicity distribution function (MDF) and internal chemical variations of a galaxy are fundamental to understand its formation and assembly history.

Radio-Frequency Searches for Dark Matter in Dwarf Galaxies

Galaxies, 2019
Dwarf spheroidal galaxies have long been discussed as optimal targets for indirect dark matter searches. However, the majority of such studies have been conducted with gamma-ray instruments.

Late-time dark matter oscillations and the core-cusp problem

Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021
The core-cusp problem persists as an unresolved tension between the pre- dictions of ΛCDM cosmology and observations of dark matter (DM) profiles in dwarf spheroidal and other galaxies.

The mass of dwarf spheroidal galaxies and the missing satellite problem

, 2005
We present the results from a suite of N-body simulations of the tidal stripping of two-component dwarf galaxies comprising some stars and dark matter. We show that recent kinematic data from the local group dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies suggests that
