Schwarzschild models of the Sculptor dSph galaxy

EPJ 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.

Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies and Globular Clusters [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1988
Recent observational results for dwarf spheroidal galaxies are reviewed and discussed. In particular, the differences in stellar populations between dwarf spheroidal galaxies and globular clusters are highlighted. It seems most probable that the origin and evolution of dwarf spheroidal galaxies was very different from that of globular clusters.

DELVE-DEEP Survey: The Faint Satellite System of NGC 55

The Astrophysical Journal
We report the first comprehensive census of the satellite dwarf galaxies around NGC 55 (2.1 Mpc) as a part of the DECam Local Volume Exploration DEEP (DELVE-DEEP) survey. NGC 55 is one of four isolated, Magellanic analogs in the Local Volume around which

A Study of Abundance Patterns in the Sextans and Sculptor Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal
In this work, we employ a multicomponent decomposition model to study the Sextans and Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxies, which have distinct evolutionary histories.

Little Bear’s pulsating stars: Variable star census of UMi dSph Galaxy

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Recent observations and a photometric search for variable stars in the Ursa Minor dwarf spheroidal galaxy (UMi dSph) are presented. Our observations were taken at Apache Point Observatory in 2014 and 2016 using the 0.5m ARCSAT telescope and the West ...

Elemental Abundances in And XIX from Coadded Spectra

The Astrophysical Journal
With a luminosity similar to that of Milky Way dwarf spheroidal systems like Sextans, but a spatial extent similar to that of ultra-diffuse galaxies, Andromeda (And) XIX is an unusual satellite of M31. To investigate the origin of this galaxy, we measure

The Extended Stellar Distribution in the Outskirts of the Ursa Minor Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
We discover an extended distribution of main-sequence (MS) stars along the minor axis of the Ursa Minor (UMi) dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph). This study is enabled by deep, wide Subaru/Hyper Suprime-Cam data, reaching photometric uncertainties below 0.1 ...

The Kinematics of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies

, 1997
I review observational data on the kinematic properties of dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the halo of the Milky Way and beyond. The present data confirm previous claims that these galaxies have unusually large central velocity dispersions. `Simple' sources of bias such as binary stars, internal atmospheric motions, measurement errors, and small sample ...
