What is a galaxy? How Cold is Cold Dark Matter? Recent progress in Near Field Cosmology
Gerard Gilmore, Dan Zucker, Mark Wilkinson +6
There has been a vast recent improvement in photometric and kinematic data for star clusters, Ultra Compact dwarfs, galactic nuclei, and local dSph galaxies, with Subaru contributi…
New UltraCool and Halo White Dwarf Candidates in SDSS Stripe 82
S. Vidrih, D. M. Bramich, P. C. Hewett +16
A 2.5 x 100 degree region along the celestial equator (Stripe 82) has been imaged repeatedly from 1998 to 2005 by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. A new catalogue of ~4 million light-…
The Luminosity Function of the Milky Way Satellites
S. Koposov, V. Belokurov, N. W. Evans +8
We quantify the detectability of stellar Milky Way satellites in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 5. We show that the effective search volumes for the recently disc…
Dark Matter on small scales; Telescopes on large scales
Gerard Gilmore
This article reviews recent progress in observational determination of the properties of dark matter on small astrophysical scales, and progress towards the European Extremely Larg…
The outer Galaxy: stellar populations and dark matter
Gerard Gilmore
The Galaxy's stellar populations are naturally classified into six `types', of which five have been observed. These are the thin disk (Pop I in the historical scheme), a discrete t…
Dynamical Evolution of Globular Clusters in the Magellanic Clouds and Other Local Systems
A. D. Mackey, G. F. Gilmore
Observations of rich LMC and SMC clusters reveal an increasing spread in core radius with age. This trend likely represents real physical evolution in these systems. Old Magellanic…
