Secular Dynamics of S-type Planetary Orbits in Binary Star Systems: Applicability Domains of First- and Second-Order Theories

Eduardo Andrade-Ines, Cristian Beaugé, Tatiana Michtchenko +1

We analyse the secular dynamics of planets on S-type coplanar orbits in tight binary systems, based on first- and second-order analytical models, and compare their predictions with…

The VMC Survey. XVIII. Radial dependence of the low-mass, 0.55--0.82 stellar mass function in the Galactic globular cluster 47 Tucanae

Chaoli Zhang, Chengyuan Li, Richard de Grijs +12

We use near-infrared observations obtained as part of the {\sl Visible and Infrared Survey Telescope for Astronomy} (VISTA) Survey of the Magellanic Clouds (VMC), as well as two co…

Horseshoe drag in three-dimensional globally isothermal disks

Frédéric Masset, Pablo Benítez-Llambay

We study the horseshoe dynamics of a low-mass planet in a three-dimensional, globally isothermal, inviscid disk. We find, as reported in previous work, that the boundaries of the h…

Mergers and the outside-in formation of dwarf spheroidals

Alejandro Benítez-Llambay, Julio F. Navarro, Mario G. Abadi +4

We use a cosmological simulation of the formation of the Local Group to explore the origin of age and metallicity gradients in dwarf spheroidal galaxies. We find that a number of s…

Fossil groups in the Millennium simulation. From the brightest to the faintest galaxies during the past 8 Gyr

Maria Jose Kanagusuku, Eugenia Diaz-Gimenez, Ariel Zandivarez

We investigate the evolution of bright and faint galaxies in fossil and non-fossil groups. We used mock galaxies constructed based on the Millennium run simulation II. We identifie…

A catalogue of Large Magellanic Cloud star clusters observed in the Washington photometric system

Tali Palma, Luciana V. Gramajo, Juan J. Clariá +3

The main goal of this study is to compile a catalogue including the fundamental parameters of a complete sample of 277 star clusters (SCs) of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) obser…
