Insights from the Outskirts: Chemical and Dynamical Properties in the outer Parts of the Fornax Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
Benjamin Hendricks, Andreas Koch, Matthew Walker +3
We present radial velocities and [Fe/H] abundances for 340 stars in the Fornax dwarf spheroidal from R~16,000 spectra. The targets have been obtained in the outer parts of the gala…
Continuum Variability of Deeply Embedded Protostars as a Probe of Envelope Structure
Doug Johnstone, Benjamin Hendricks, Gregory J. Herczeg +1
Stars may be assembled in large growth spurts, however the evidence for this hypothesis is circumstantial. Directly studying the accretion at the earliest phases of stellar growth…
The metal-poor Knee in the Fornax Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
Benjamin Hendricks, Andreas Koch, Gustavo A. Lanfranchi +5
We present alpha-element abundances of Mg, Si, and Ti for a large sample of field stars in two outer fields of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph), obtained with VLT/GIRAFFE…
A New Reddening Law for M4
Benjamin Hendricks, Peter B. Stetson, Don A. VandenBerg +1
We have used a combination of broad-band near-infrared and optical Johnson-Cousins photometry to study the dust properties in the line of sight to the Galactic globular cluster M4.…
Evidence for a chemical enrichment coupling of globular clusters and field stars in the Fornax dSph
Benjamin Hendricks, Corrado Boeche, Christian I. Johnson +4
The globular cluster H4, located in the center of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy, is crucial for understanding the formation and chemical evolution of star clusters in low-mass…
