A Study of the Properties and Dynamics of the Disk of Satellites in a Milky-Way-like Galaxy System
Galaxies, 2023 The dynamics of the satellite systems of Milky-Way-like galaxies offer a useful means by which to study the galaxy formation process in the cosmological context. It has been suggested that the currently observed anisotropic distribution of the satellites

The Astronomical Journal, 2023 To better understand the formation of large, low-surface-brightness galaxies, we measure the correlation function between ultradiffuse galaxy (UDG) candidates and Milky Way analogs (MWAs).

Phase-Space Correlations among Systems of Satellite Galaxies
Galaxies, 2021 Driven by the increasingly complete observational knowledge of systems of satellite galaxies, mutual spatial alignments and relations in velocities among satellites belonging to a common host have become a productive field of research.

Star Formation in Satellite Galaxies [PDF]
The Astronomical Journal, 2006 The study of satellite galaxies can provide information on the merging and aggregation processes which, according to the hierarchical clustering models, form the larger spiral galaxies we observe. With the aim of testing hierarchical models of galaxy formation, we have conducted an observational program which comprises H$ $ imaging for both the parent

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView., 2023 Let us consider an alternative perspective on climate change: The sum of solar radiation and heat generated by human activity result in a net energy input of 1.96 times that of the Sun on the Earth's surface. The expanding global population is expected to exacerbate this issue. Potential solutions are proposed, including replacement and heat recycling.

The orbital distribution of satellite galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2008 We measure the distribution of velocities for prograde and retrograde satellite galaxies using a combination of published data and new observations for 78 satellites of 63 extremely isolated disc galaxies (169 satellites total). We find that the velocity distribution is non-Gaussian (>99.9% confidence), but that it can be described as the sum of two

THE LOPSIDED DISTRIBUTION OF SATELLITE GALAXIES [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2016 ABSTRACT The distribution of smaller satellite galaxies around large central galaxies has attracted attention because peculiar spatial and kinematic configurations have been detected in some systems. A particularly striking example of such behavior is seen in the satellite system of the Andromeda galaxy, where around 80% are on the near ...

Bursting and quenching in satellite galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2019 ABSTRACT The difference in stellar metallicity between red and blue galaxies with the same mass constrains the time-scale over which red galaxies ceased to form stars. Here we investigate this constraint with the galics 2.0 semi-analytic model of galaxy formation.

Evidence for a Massive Andromeda Galaxy Using Satellite Galaxy Proper Motions
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 We present new mass estimates for Andromeda (M31) using the orbital angular momenta of four satellite galaxies (M33, NGC 185, NGC 147, and IC 10) derived from existing proper motions, distances, and line-of-sight velocities. We infer two masses for M31: $
