The Andromeda Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1999 Our current knowledge of M31's dwarf spheroidal companions is reviewed. Two topics of recent interest constitute the bulk of this review. First, color-magnitude diagrams reaching below the horizontal branch have been constructed for two M31 dwarf spheroidals, based on images from HST/WFPC2. The horizontal branches are predominantly red in both galaxies,

Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1994 Dwarf Spheroidal (dSph) galaxies are the faintest baryonic systems recognized as galaxies. Understanding the structure and stellar populations of these systems is critical for the modelling of their formation and evolution, and by extension, for understanding the general problem of galaxy formation ...

Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 1998 We present a study of the smallest and faintest galaxies found in a very deep photographic R band survey of regions of the Virgo Cluster, totalling over 3 square degrees, made with the UK Schmidt Telescope. The objects we detect have the same physical sizes and surface brightnesses as Local Group dwarf spheroidal galaxies.

Globular clusters and dwarf spheroidal galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2008 Abstract Traditionally, globular clusters and dwarf spheroidal galaxies have been distinguished by using one or more of the following criteria: (i) mass, (ii) luminosity, (iii) size, (iv) mass-to-light ratio and (v) spread in metallicity.

The Origin Of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1983 Two dwarf spheroidal galaxies are associated with the Magellanic Stream with their major axes oriented along it. Evidence suggests that all the dwarf spheroidal satellites of the Galaxy belong to one or other of two streams of tidal debris. If this is true the orbits will give the first reliable determination of the total mass of the Galaxy out to 120 ...

The Astronomical Journal, 2023 SX Phoenicis (SXP) variables are short-period pulsating stars that exhibit a period–luminosity (PL) relation. We derived the gri -band PL and extinction-free period–Wesenheit (PW) relations, as well as the period-color and reddening-free period-Q-index ...

On the Origins of Extreme Velocity Stars as Revealed by Large-scale Galactic Surveys
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We assemble a large sample of 12,784 high-velocity stars with total velocity V _GSR ≥ 300 km s ^−1 , selected from RAVE DR5, SDSS DR12, LAMOST DR8, APOGEE DR16, GALAH DR2, and Gaia EDR3.

Dark satellites and the morphology of dwarf galaxies [PDF]
, 2012 One of the strongest predictions of the LambdaCDM cosmological model is the presence of dark satellites orbiting all types of galaxies. We focus here on the dynamical effects of such satellites on disky dwarf galaxies, and demonstrate that these ...
