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…
The VMC survey - XVII. The proper motion of the Small Magellanic Cloud and of the Milky Way globular cluster 47 Tucanae
Maria-Rosa L. Cioni, Kenji Bekki, Leo Girardi +8
In this study we use multi-epoch near-infrared observations from the VISTA survey of the Magellanic Cloud system (VMC) to measure the proper motion of different stellar populations…
Kinematics of dwarf galaxies in gas-rich groups, and the survival and detectability of tidal dwarf galaxies
Sarah M. Sweet, Michael J. Drinkwater, Gerhardt Meurer +4
We present DEIMOS multi-object spectroscopy (MOS) of 22 star-forming dwarf galaxies located in four gas-rich groups, including six newly-discovered dwarfs. Two of the galaxies are…
New quasars behind the Magellanic Clouds. Spectroscopic confirmation of near-infrared selected candidates
Valentin D. Ivanov, Maria-Rosa L. Cioni, Kenji Bekki +7
Quasi--stellar objects (quasars) located behind nearby galaxies provide an excellent absolute reference system for astrometric studies, but they are difficult to identify because o…
Formation of ultra-compact blue dwarf galaxies and their evolution into nucleated dwarfs
Kenji Bekki
We propose that there is an evolutionary link between ultra-compact blue dwarf galaxies (UCBDs) with active star formation and nucleated dwarfs based on the results of numerical si…
Formation of emission line dots and extremely metal-deficient dwarfs from almost dark galaxies
Kenji Bekki
Recent observations have discovered a number of extremely gas-rich very faint dwarf galaxies possibly embedded in low-mass dark matter halos. We investigate star formation historie…
