Exploring Halo Substructure with Giant Stars: II. Mapping the Extended Structure of the Carina Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
S. R. Majewski, J. C. Ostheimer, R. J. Patterson +3
As part of our survey for substructure in the Milky Way halo as traced by giant stars, and to look for tidal stellar debris in the halo viable for measurement of the Galactic mass…
Omega Centauri: Nucleus of a Milky Way Dwarf Spheroidal?
S. R. Majewski, R. J. Patterson, D. I. Dinescu +4
We focus on two aspects of Omega Cen that are rather uncharacteristic of globular clusters: its metallicity distribution and its orbit. We use (1) a Washington (M-T_2,M)_o color-ma…
Constraining the History of the Sagittarius Dwarf Galaxy Using Observations of its Tidal Debris
K. V. Johnston, S. R. Majewski, M. H. Siegel +2
We present a comparison of semi-analytic models of the phase-space structure of tidal debris with observations of stars associated with the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy (Sgr). We find…
Starcounts Redivivus: III. A Possible Detection of the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy at b=-40
S. R. Majewski, M. H. Siegel, W. E. Kunkel +5
As part of the Selected Areas Starcount Survey (SASS), a CCD survey to V>21, we have obtained VI photometry of two fields at b=+-40 aligned roughly with an extrapolation of the maj…
