Dark matter constraints from a joint analysis of dwarf Spheroidal galaxy observations with VERITAS [PDF]
We present constraints on the annihilation cross section of weakly interacting massive particles dark matter based on the joint statistical analysis of four dwarf galaxies with VERITAS.

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 ...

Detection of a Population of Carbon-enhanced Metal-poor Stars in the Sculptor Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy [PDF]
The study of the chemical abundances of metal-poor stars in dwarf galaxies provides a venue to constrain paradigms of chemical enrichment and galaxy formation.

Elucidating dark matter density profiles in Galactic dwarf satellites is essential to understanding not only the quintessence of dark matter, but also the evolution of the satellites themselves.

The Chemical Signature of a Relic Star Cluster in the Sextans Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy - Implications for Near-Field Cosmology [PDF]
We present tentative evidence for the existence of a dissolved star cluster at [Fe/H]=-2.7 in the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We use the technique of chemical tagging to identify stars that are highly clustered in a multi-dimensional chemical ...

The Origin Of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies [PDF]
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 ...

Abundance Analysis of Stars at Large Radius in the Sextans Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
We present the stellar parameters and chemical abundances of 30 elements for five stars located at large radii (3.5–10.7 times the half-light radius) in the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We selected these stars using proper motions, radial velocities,

A discrete chemo-dynamical model of the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Sculptor: mass profile, velocity anisotropy and internal rotation [PDF]
We present a new discrete chemo-dynamical axisymmetric modelling technique, which we apply to the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Sculptor. The major improvement over previous Jeans models is that realistic chemical distributions are included directly in the ...

Search for Ultraheavy Dark Matter from Observations of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies with VERITAS
Dark matter is a key piece of the current cosmological scenario, with weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) a leading dark matter candidate. WIMPs have not been detected in their conventional parameter space (100 GeV ≲ M _χ ≲ 100 TeV), a mass ...
