Faint Stars in a Faint Galaxy. II. The Low-mass Stellar Initial Mass Function of the Boötes I Ultrafaint Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2022
This paper presents improved constraints on the low-mass stellar initial mass function (IMF) of the Boötes I (Boo I) ultrafaint dwarf galaxy, based on our analysis of recent deep imaging from the Hubble Space Telescope.

THE METAL-POOR KNEE IN THE FORNAX DWARF SPHEROIDAL GALAXY [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We present α-element abundances of Mg, Si, and Ti for a large sample of field stars in two outer fields of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy, obtained with Very Large Telescope/GIRAFFE (R ∼ 16, 000).

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

open access: yes, 2014
From archival ground-based images of the Leo I dwarf spheroidal galaxy, we have identified and characterized the pulsation properties of 164 candidate RR Lyrae variables and 55 candidate anomalous and/or short-period Cepheids.

Schwarzschild models of the Sculptor dSph galaxy

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
We have developed a spherically symmetric dynamical model of a dwarf spheroidal galaxy using the Schwarzschild method. This type of modelling yields constraints both on the total mass distribution (e.g.

HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE ABSOLUTE PROPER MOTIONS OF NGC 6681 (M70) AND THE SAGITTARIUS DWARF SPHEROIDAL GALAXY [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We have measured absolute proper motions for the three populations intercepted in the direction of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 6681: the cluster itself, the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy, and the field.

The mass content of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2008
AbstractWe present a new determination of the mass content of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy, based on a novel approach which takes into account the two distinct stellar populations present in this galaxy. This method helps to partially break the well-known mass-anisotropy degeneracy present in the modelling of pressure-supported stellar systems.
