One Stream or Two -- Exploring Andromeda's North West Stream
Janet Preston, Denis Erkal, Michelle L. M. Collins +3
We present results of our dynamical stream modelling for the North West Stream in the outer halo of the Andromeda galaxy (M31). Comprising two main segments, the North West Stream…
Properties of the Lower Segment of M31's North West Stream
Janet Preston, Denis Erkal, Michelle L. M. Collins +2
We present a kinematic and spectroscopic analysis of 40 red giant branch stars, in 9 fields, exquisitely delineating the lower segment of the North West Stream (NW-K2), which exten…
A Pride of Satellites in the Constellation Leo? Discovery of the Leo VI Milky Way Satellite Galaxy with DELVE Early Data Release 3
C. Y. Tan, W. Cerny, A. Drlica-Wagner +32
We report the discovery and spectroscopic confirmation of an ultra-faint Milky Way (MW) satellite in the constellation of Leo. This system was discovered as a spatial overdensity o…
Why do some Ultra Diffuse Galaxies have Rich Globular Cluster Systems?
Duncan A. Forbes, Maria Luisa Buzzo, Anna Ferre-Mateu +4
Some ultra diffuse galaxies (UDGs) reveal many more globular clusters (GCs) than classical dwarf galaxies of the same stellar mass. These UDGs, with a mass in their GC system (M$_{…
