The extremely low-metallicity tail of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy [PDF]
We present abundances for seven stars in the (extremely) low-metallicity tail of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy, from spectra taken with X-shooter on the ESO VLT. Targets were selected from the Ca II triplet (CaT) survey of the dwarf abundances and

A Census of Dwarf Galaxy Satellites around LMC-mass Galaxy NGC 2403
We present the first comprehensive census of the satellite population around a Large Magellanic Cloud stellar-mass galaxy, as part of the Magellanic Analog Dwarf Companions and Stellar Halos (MADCASH) survey. We have surveyed NGC 2403 ( D = 3.0 Mpc) with

Astrophysical site(s) of r-process elements in galactic chemodynamical evolution model
Astrophysical site(s) of rapid neutron-capture process (r-process) is (are) not identified yet. Although core-collapse supernovae have been regarded as one of the possible candidates of the astrophysical site of r-process, nucleosynthesis studies suggest

We present a study of the evolution of several different dark matter free possible progenitors of the Carina dSph galaxy, one of the satellites of the Milky Way, using Newtonian numerical N-body simulations.

The 3.5 keV line from stringy axions
An interesting result in particle astrophysics is the recent detection of an unexplained 3.5 keV line from galaxy clusters. A promising model, which can explain the morphology of the signal and its non-observation in dwarf spheroidal galaxies, involves a

The Kinematics of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies
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 ...
