The Globular Clusters of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 1998
The possibility that the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal might have formed as a Searle-Zinn fragment in the outer halo of the Galaxy is discussed. Arguments in favor of this hypothesis are: (1) The luminosity distribution of globular clusters in both Sagittarius and in the outer halo (Rgc > 80 kpc), appear to be bimodal with peaks near MV ~ -5 and MV ~

Dynamical Friction by Coupled Dark Energy

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
In this paper, we examine dynamical friction at galactic scales within the framework of coupled dark energy (CDE). This model posits dark energy as coupled quintessence, which maintains a minimal coupling to gravity but interacts nonminimally with both ...

The Structure and Formation Histories of Low-mass Quiescent Galaxies in the A2744 Cluster Environment

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Low-mass quiescent galaxies are thought to predominantly reside in overdense regions, as environmental effects are often invoked to explain their shutdown of star formation. These longer-timescale quenching mechanisms—such as interactions with hot gas in

HSTPROMO Internal Proper-motion Kinematics of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies. I. Velocity Anisotropy and Dark Matter Cusp Slope of Draco

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We analyze four epochs of Hubble Space Telescope imaging over 18 yr for the Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We measure precise proper motions for hundreds of stars and combine these with existing line-of-sight (LOS) velocities.
