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…
An Internal Second Parameter Problem in the Sculptor Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
S. R. Majewski, M. H. Siegel, Richard J. Patterson +1
We present BV photometry of the Sculptor dwarf galaxy to V=22. These data give evidence for a bimodality in Sculptor's metallicity distribution based on a discontinuity in the lumi…
