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

Kinematics and Metallicity of the Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy Andromeda XVIII
The Astrophysical JournalAndromeda XVIII is an isolated dwarf galaxy 579 kpc away from the nearest large galaxy, M31. It is a candidate “backsplash galaxy” that might have been affected by a close passage to M31.

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.

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

A SPECTROSCOPIC BINARY IN THE HERCULES DWARF SPHEROIDAL GALAXY [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2013 We present the radial velocity curve of a single-lined spectroscopic binary in the faint Hercules dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy, based on 34 individual spectra covering more than two years of observations. This is the first time that orbital elements could be derived for a binary in a dSph.

A Dynamically Distinct Stellar Population in the Leading Arm of the Sagittarius Stream
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We present a chemical and dynamical analysis of the leading arm (LA) and trailing arm (TA) of the Sagittarius (Sgr) stream, as well as for the Sgr dwarf galaxy core (SC), using red giant branch, main-sequence, and RR Lyrae stars from large spectroscopic ...

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 ...

Young Globular Clusters and Dwarf Spheroidals [PDF]
, 1999 Most of the globular clusters in the main body of the Galactic halo were formed almost simultaneously. However, globular cluster formation in dwarf spheroidal galaxies appears to have extended over a significant fraction of a Hubble time. This suggests that the factors which suppressed late-time formation of globulars in the main body of the Galactic ...
