A 2MASS All-Sky View of the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy: VII. Kinematics of the Main Body of the Sagittarius dSph

Peter M. Frinchaboy, Steven R. Majewski, Ricardo R. Munoz +5

We have assembled a large-area spectroscopic survey of giant stars in the Sagittarius (Sgr) dwarf galaxy core. Using medium resolution (R ~15,000), multifiber spectroscopy we have…

Exploring Halo Substructure with Giant Stars: Substructure in the Local Halo as Seen in the Grid Giant Star Survey Including Extended Tidal Debris from Omega Centauri

Steven R. Majewski, David L. Nidever, Verne V. Smith +5

We present the latitude-normalized radial velocity (vb) distribution of 3318 subsolar metallicity, V<13.5 stars from the Grid Giant Star Survey (GGSS) in Southern Hemisphere fields…

Discovery of a Large Stellar Periphery Around the Small Magellanic Cloud

David L. Nidever, Steven R. Majewski, Ricardo R. Munoz +3

The Magellanic Clouds are a local laboratory for understanding the evolution and properties of dwarf irregular galaxies. To reveal the extended structure and interaction history of…

Exploring Halo Substructure with Giant Stars X. Extended Dark Matter or Tidal Disruption?: The Case for the Leo I Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy

Sangmo Tony Sohn, S. R. Majewski, R. R. Muñoz +7

We present a wide-field (4.5 deg^2) photometric and spectroscopic survey of the Leo I dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy to explore its extended morphology and dynamics. As in previous…

Exploring Halo Substructure with Giant Stars XI: The Tidal Tails of the Carina Dwarf Spheroidal and the Discovery of Magellanic Cloud Stars in the Carina Foreground

Ricardo R. Munoz, Steven R. Majewski, Simone Zaggia +10

A new large-area Washington M,T_2+DDO51 filter survey of more than 10 deg^2 around the Carina dSph galaxy reveals a spectroscopically confirmed power law radial density "break" pop…

Photometric Survey of the Polar ring galaxy NGC 6822

P. Battinelli, S. Demers, W. E. Kunkel

We have previously established, from a carbon star survey, that the Local Group dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 6822 is much larger than its central bright core. Four MegaCam fields are…
