Can we measure the slopes of density profiles in dwarf spheroidal galaxies?
Klaudia Kowalczyk, Ewa L. Lokas, Stelios Kazantzidis +1
Using collisionless N-body simulations of dwarf galaxies orbiting the Milky Way (MW) we construct realistic models of dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies of the Local Group. The dwarf…
A 2MASS All-Sky View of the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy: VII. Kinematics of the Main Body of the Sagittarius dSph
Peter M. Frinchaboy, Steven R. Majewski, Ricardo R. Munoz +5
We have assembled a large-area spectroscopic survey of giant stars in the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf galaxy core. Using medium resolution (R ~15,000), multifiber spectroscopy we have…
How to make an ultra-faint dwarf spheroidal galaxy: tidal stirring of disky dwarfs with shallow dark matter density profiles
Ewa L. Lokas, Stelios Kazantzidis, Lucio Mayer
In recent years the Sloan Digital Sky Survey has unraveled a new population of ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs) in the vicinity of the Milky Way (MW) whose origin remains a puzzle…
