The Satellite Luminosity Function of M101 into the Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxy Regime
P. Bennet, D. J. Sand, D. Crnojevic +4
We have obtained deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging of four faint and ultra-faint dwarf galaxy candidates in the vicinity of M101 - Dw21, Dw22, Dw23 and Dw35, originally dis…
Signatures of Tidal Disruption in Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxies: A Combined HST, Gaia, and MMT/Hectochelle Study of Leo V
Burçin Mutlu-Pakdil, David J. Sand, Matthew G. Walker +10
The ultra-faint dwarf galaxy Leo V has shown both photometric overdensities and kinematic members at large radii, along with a tentative kinematic gradient, suggesting that it may…
Tidal destruction in a low mass galaxy environment: the discovery of tidal tails around DDO 44
Jeffrey L. Carlin, Christopher T. Garling, Annika H. G. Peter +10
We report the discovery of a ( kpc) long stellar tidal stream emanating from the dwarf galaxy DDO 44, a likely satellite of Local Volume galaxy NGC 2403 located…
The M101 Satellite Luminosity Function and the Halo to Halo Scatter Among Local Volume Hosts
P. Bennet, D. J. Sand, D. Crnojević +4
We have obtained deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging of 19 dwarf galaxy candidates in the vicinity of M101. Advanced Camera for Surveys HST photometry for 2 of these objects…
