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…

Mass Modeling the Andromeda Dwarf Galaxies: Andromeda VI and Andromeda XXIII
Connor S. Pickett, Michelle L. M. Collins, R. Michael Rich +7
Accurately mapping the mass profiles of low mass dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies allows us to test predictions made by dark matter (DM) models. To date, such analyses have primari…
