On Galaxies and Homology
Gregory S. Novak, Patrik Jonsson, Joel R. Primack +2
The definition of homology for single-component galaxies is clear, but for multi-component (luminous and dark matter) galaxies there is some ambiguity. We attempt to clarify the si…
A Short Scale Length for the α-Enhanced Thick Disk of the Milky Way: Evidence from Low-Latitude SEGUE Data
Judy Y. Cheng, Constance M. Rockosi, Heather L. Morrison +12
We examine the α-element abundance ratio, [α/Fe], of 5620 stars, observed by the Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Exploration survey in the region 6 kpc < R < 16 kpc,…
The SPLASH Survey: Kinematics of Andromeda's Inner Spheroid
Claire E. Dorman, Puragra Guhathakurta, Mark A. Fardal +12
The combination of large size, high stellar density, high metallicity, and Sersic surface brightness profile of the spheroidal component of the Andromeda galaxy (M31) within R_proj…
Insight Into the Formation of the Milky Way Through Cold Halo Substructure. III. Statistical Chemical Tagging in the Smooth Halo
Kevin C. Schlaufman, Constance M. Rockosi, Young Sun Lee +5
We find that the relative contribution of satellite galaxies accreted at high redshift to the stellar population of the Milky Way's smooth halo increases with distance, becoming ob…
The Effect of Major Mergers on Age and Metallicity Across the Fundamental Plane
L. A. Porter, R. S. Somerville, D. J. Croton +4
Recent low-redshift observations have attempted to determine the star formation histories of elliptical galaxies by tracking correlations between the stellar population parameters…
