The SPLASH Survey: Spectroscopy of 15 M31 Dwarf Spheroidal Satellite Galaxies
Erik J. Tollerud, Rachael L. Beaton, Marla C. Geha +13
We present a resolved-star spectroscopic survey of 15 dwarf spheroidal (dSph) satellites of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) as part of the Spectroscopic and Photometric Landscape of And…
Kinematics and Chemistry of Stars Along the Sagittarius Trailing Tidal Tail and Constraints on the Milky Way Mass Distribution
Jeffrey L. Carlin, Steven R. Majewski, Dana I. Casetti-Dinescu +3
We present three-dimensional kinematics of Sagittarius (Sgr) trailing tidal debris in six fields located 70-130 degrees along the stream from the Sgr dwarf galaxy core. The data ar…
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…
The Frequency of Rapid Rotation Among K Giant Stars
Joleen K. Carlberg, Steven R. Majewski, Richard J. Patterson +3
We present the results of a search for unusually rapidly rotating giant stars in a large sample of K giants (~1300 stars) that had been spectroscopically monitored as potential tar…
First Chemical Analysis of Stars in The Triangulum-Andromeda Star Cloud
Mei-Yin Chou, Steven R. Majewski, Katia Cunha +3
We undertake the first high resolution spectroscopic study of the Triangulum-Andromeda (TriAnd) star cloud --- an extended, mid-latitude Milky Way halo substructure about 20 kpc aw…
