A near-IR survey of luminous asymptotic giant branch stars in the satellites and stellar halo of M31

Jess M. Howell, Annette M. N. Ferguson, Olivia C. Jones +5

We investigate the dwarf spheroidal (dSph) satellites and stellar halo of M31 using near-infrared imaging from the Wide-Field Camera on the UKIRT 3.8 m telescope. Our homogeneous a…

Characterising the Globular Cluster Systems of Three Local Group Dwarf Galaxies: NGC6822, NGC147 and NGC185

Gracie McGill, Annette M. N. Ferguson, Dougal Mackey +8

We present deep HST photometry for 26 globular clusters (GCs) residing in three Local Group dwarf galaxies: the isolated dwarf irregular (dIrr) galaxy, NGC6822, and the M31 dwarf e…

Uncovering the Ghostly Remains of an Extremely Diffuse Satellite in the Remote Halo of NGC 253

Sakurako Okamoto, Annette M. N. Ferguson, Nobuo Arimoto +12

We present the discovery of NGC253-SNFC-dw1, a new satellite galaxy in the remote stellar halo of the Sculptor Group spiral, NGC 253. The system was revealed using deep resolved st…

The Hubble Space Telescope Survey of M31 Satellite Galaxies II. The Star Formation Histories of Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxies

A. Savino, D. R. Weisz, E. D. Skillman +34

We present the lifetime star formation histories (SFHs) for six ultra-faint dwarf (UFD; , ) satellite galaxies of M31 based on…

The outer halo globular cluster system of M31 - I. The final PAndAS catalogue

A. P. Huxor, A. D. Mackey, A. M. N. Ferguson +8

We report the discovery of 59 globular clusters (GCs) and two candidate GCs in a search of the halo of M31, primarily via visual inspection of CHFT/MegaCam imagery from the Pan-And…

Major Substructure in the M31 Outer Halo: the South-West Cloud

N. F. Bate, A. R. Conn, B. McMonigal +11

We undertake the first detailed analysis of the stellar population and spatial properties of a diffuse substructure in the outer halo of M31. The South-West Cloud lies at a project…
