Chemical enrichment and star formation in the Milky Way disk III. Chemodynamical constraints
H. J. Rocha-Pinto, C. Flynn, J. Scalo +3
In this paper, we investigate some chemokinematical properties of the Milky Way disk, by using a sample composed by 424 late-type dwarfs. We show that the velocity dispersion of a…
Is the Initial Mass Function of Low Surface Brightness Galaxies Dominated by Low Mass Stars?
Hyun-chul Lee, Brad K. Gibson, Chris Flynn +2
The rotation curves of low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies suggest that they possess significantly higher mass-to-light (M/L) ratios than their high surface brightness counterpar…
The local surface density of disc matter mapped by Hipparcos
Johan Holmberg, Chris Flynn
We determine the surface density of matter in the disc of the Galaxy at the solar position using K giant stars. The local space density and luminosity function of the giants is det…
Luminosity limits on white dwarfs in a Galactic shroud
Janne Holopainen, Chris Flynn
We place observational constraints on a recently proposed Galactic population, dubbed the shroud (Gyuk & Gates 1999, Gates & Gyuk 2001). The shroud would be a very thick Galactic d…
Photometric Properties of White Dwarf Dominated Halos
H. -c. Lee, B. K. Gibson, Y. Fenner +5
Using stellar population synthesis techniques, we explore the photometric signatures of white dwarf progenitor dominated galactic halos, in order to constrain the fraction of halo…
