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…
A Local Group Polar Ring Galaxy: NGC 6822
Serge Demers, Paolo Battinelli, William E. Kunkel
Star counts, obtained from a 2 x 2 degree area centered on NGC 6822 have revealed an optical image of this galaxy composed of two components: in addition to the well-known HI disk…
Photometry and Spectroscopy of Old, Outer Disk Star Clusters: vdB-Hagen 176, Berkeley 29 and Saurer 1
Peter M. Frinchaboy, Ricardo R. Munoz, Randy L. Phelps +2
It has been previously proposed that some distant open clusters in the Milky Way may have been accreted during a dwarf galaxy merger, perhaps associated with the same event that le…
Exploring Halo Substructure with Giant Stars VIII: The Extended Structure of the Sculptor Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
Kyle B. Westfall, Steven R. Majewski, James C. Ostheimer +4
(Abridged) We explore the spatial distribution of stars in the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy over an area of 7.82 deg^2. We identify red giant branch (RGB) starts via Was…
