A 3D view of dwarf galaxies with Gaia and VLT/FLAMES II. The Sextans dwarf spheroidal
Eline Tolstoy, Giuseppina Battaglia, José María Arroyo-Polonio +7
The Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy has been challenging to study in a comprehensive way as it is highly extended on the sky, with an uncertain but large tidal radius of between 80…
From gas to stars: MUSEings on the internal evolution of IC 1613
S. Taibi, G. Battaglia, M. M. Roth +9
The kinematics and chemical composition of stellar populations of different ages provide crucial information about the evolution of a galaxy. We aim to provide such information for…
Variable stars in Local Group Galaxies -- V. The fast and early evolution of the low-mass Eridanus II dSph galaxy
C. E. Martínez-Vázquez, M. Monelli, S. Cassisi +18
We present a detailed study of the variable star population of Eridanus II (Eri II), an ultra-faint dwarf galaxy that lies close to the Milky Way virial radius. We analyze multi-ep…
The Tucana dwarf spheroidal galaxy: not such a massive failure after all
S. Taibi, G. Battaglia, M. Rejkuba +5
Isolated Local Group (LG) dwarf galaxies have evolved most or all of their life unaffected by interactions with the large LG spirals and therefore offer the opportunity to learn ab…
The mass of our Galaxy from satellite proper motions in the Gaia era
T. K. Fritz, A. Di Cintio, G. Battaglia +2
We use Gaia DR2 systemic proper motions of 45 satellite galaxies to constrain the mass of the Milky Way using the scale free mass estimator of Watkins et al. (2010). We first deter…
Kinematic and metallicity properties od the Aquarius dwarf galaxy from FORS2 MXU spectroscopy
L. Hermosa Muñoz, S. Taibi, G. Battaglia +10
Dwarf galaxies found in isolation in the Local Group (LG) are unlikely to have interacted with the large LG spirals, and therefore environmental effects should not be the main driv…
