Kinematic and metallicity properties od the Aquarius dwarf galaxy from FORS2 MXU spectroscopy
L. Hermosa Muñoz, S. Taibi, G. Battaglia +10
Dwarf galaxies found in isolation in the Local Group (LG) are unlikely to have interacted with the large LG spirals, and therefore environmental effects should not be the main driv…
The volumetric star formation law in the Milky Way
C. Bacchini, F. Fraternali, G. Pezzulli +3
Several open questions on galaxy formation and evolution have their roots in the lack of a universal star formation law, that could univocally link the gas properties, e.g. its den…
Kinematics of the Palomar 5 stellar stream from RR Lyrae stars
Adrian M. Price-Whelan, Cecilia Mateu, Giuliano Iorio +3
Thin stellar streams, formed from the tidal disruption of globular clusters, are important gravitational tools, sensitive to both global and small-scale properties of dark matter.…
The effect of tides on the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy
G. Iorio, C. Nipoti, G. Battaglia +1
Dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) appear to be some of the most dark matter dominated objects in the Universe. Their dynamical masses are commonly derived using the kinematics of s…
Evidence for Two Early Accretion Events That Built the Milky Way Stellar Halo
G. C. Myeong, E. Vasiliev, G. Iorio +2
The Gaia Sausage is the major accretion event that built the stellar halo of the Milky Way galaxy. Here, we provide dynamical and chemical evidence for a second substantial accreti…
