Constraining Dwarf Spheroidal Dark Matter Halos With The Galactic Center Excess
, 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 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 ...

Luminosity-Diameter Relations for Globular Clusters and Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies
, 2008 It is shown that globular clusters and the dwarf spheroidal companions of the Galaxy have a different distribution of flattening values, and appear to occupy adjacent regions of the M_v versus log R_h plane that can be separated by what will be referred ...

Exploring the Evolution of a Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy with SPH Simulations. II. AGN Feedback
The Astrophysical JournalWe investigate active galactic nucleus (AGN) feedback from an intermediate-mass black hole at the center of a dwarf spheroidal galaxy, by performing isolated galaxy simulations using a modified version of the GADGET-3 code. We consider Leo II (PGC 34176)

MAGELLAN/M2FS SPECTROSCOPY OF THE RETICULUM 2 DWARF SPHEROIDAL GALAXY [PDF]
, 2015 We present results from spectroscopic observations with the Michigan/Magellan Fiber System (M2FS) of 182 stellar targets along the line of sight (LOS) to the newly discovered “ultrafaint” object Reticulum 2 (Ret 2).

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 ...

On Dwarf Galaxies as the Source of Intracluster Gas [PDF]
, 1996 Recent observational evidence for steep dwarf galaxy luminosity functions in several rich clusters has led to speculation that their precursors may be the source of the majority of gas and metals inferred from intracluster medium (ICM) x-ray observations.
