Characterizing the disruption of Böotes III: a missing link in the Galactic halo?
Jaclyn Jensen, Daniel A. Boyea, Alan W. McConnachie +14
The Böotes III (Boo3) dwarf galaxy has long been suspected of being the progenitor of Styx, a ~50°-long stellar stream that was simultaneously discovered in the same region of sky.…
Structural Diversity Among the Milky Way's Dwarf Spheroidal Satellites
Matthew G. Walker, Raphaël Errani, Andrew B. Pace +3
We fit a flexible double power-law (`') model to the stellar density fields observed for the Milky Way's known dwarf spheroidal satellite galaxies. We show that where standard…
Galactic tides and the outer density profile of the Sculptor and Ursa Minor dwarf spheroidals
Daniel A. Boyea, Julio F. Navarro, Jaclyn Jensen +1
Most dwarf spheroidal (dSph) satellites of the Milky Way follow exponential surface density profiles that decline sharply in the outer regions. The Sculptor (Scl) and Ursa Minor (U…
Collisional Dynamics of Stars and Dark Matter in Ultra-Faint Galaxies
Raphaël Errani, Nicolas Esser, Jorge Peñarrubia +1
We use controlled N-body simulations to study the collisional exchange of energy between stars and dark matter in ultra-faint galaxies. We find that dynamical friction between star…
Tailored mass estimators for Milky Way dwarf Spheroidals
Sofia L. Splawska, Raphaël Errani, Jorge Peñarrubia +1
Assuming spherical symmetry and dynamical equilibrium within a given gravitational potential, a dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy's globally averaged stellar velocity dispersion depen…
