A possible formation scenario for dwarf spheroidal galaxies - III. Adding star formation histories to the fiducial model [PDF]
, 2017 Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are regarded as the basic building blocks in the formation of larger galaxies and are believed to be the most dark matter dominated systems known in the Universe. There are several models that attempt to explain their formation and evolution, but they have problems to model the formation of isolated dwarf spheroidal galaxies ...

Homogeneous Photometry VI: Variable Stars in the Leo I Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
, 2014 We have characterized the pulsation properties of 164 candidate RR Lyrae variables (RRLs) and 55 candidate Anomalous and/or short-period Cepheids in Leo I dwarf spheroidal galaxy.

Astronomical Signatures of Dark Matter
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 Several independent astronomical observations in different wavelength bands reveal the existence of much larger quantities of matter than what we would deduce from assuming a solar mass to light ratio. They are very high velocities of individual galaxies within clusters of galaxies, higher than expected rotation rates of stars in the outer regions of ...

No WIMP mini-spikes in dwarf spheroidal galaxies [PDF]
Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, 2015 The formation of black holes inevitably affects the distribution of dark and baryonic matter in their vicinity, leading to an enhancement of the dark matter density, called spike, and if dark matter is made of WIMPs, to a strong enhancement of the dark matter annihilation rate.

The Effect of Tidal Stripping on Composite Stellar Populations in Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies [PDF]
, 2009 We use N-body simulations to study the effects of tides on the kinematical structure of satellite galaxies orbiting a Milky Way-like potential. Our work is motivated by observations of dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the Local Group, for which often a ...

Intermediate Mass Black Holes: Their Motion and Associated Energetics
Advances in High Energy Physics, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014 There is a lot of current astrophysical evidence and interest in intermediate mass black holes (IMBH), ranging from a few hundred to several thousand solar masses. The active galaxy M82 and the globular cluster G1 in M31, for example, are known to host such objects.

The Globular Clusters of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies [PDF]
The 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 ~

Dynamics of the Fornax Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1987 The mass to light ratio of the inner parts of the Fornax system is 3.2 ± 1.1. Its major axis rotation is only 3.4 ± 2.4 km s-1 over ± 1 kpc, which argues against its origin as a stripped dwarf irregular.

The Astronomical Journal, 2023 We present results from wide-field imaging of the resolved stellar populations of the dwarf spheroidal galaxies Cassiopeia III (And XXXII) and Perseus I (And XXXIII), two satellites in the outer stellar halo of the Andromeda galaxy (M31).
