Internal Kinematics of the Fornax Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
Matthew G. Walker, Mario Mateo, Edward W. Olszewski +3
We present new radial velocity results for 176 stars in the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy, of which at least 156 are probable Fornax members. We combine with previously published…
The Nature of the Density Clump in the Fornax Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
Edward W. Olszewski, Mario Mateo, Jason Harris +3
We have imaged the recently discovered stellar overdensity located approximately one core radius from the center of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy using the Magellan Clay 6.5m…
The radial velocity dispersion profile of the Galactic halo: Constraining the density profile of the dark halo of the Milky Way
G. Battaglia, A. Helmi, H. Morrison +6
We have compiled a new sample of 240 halo objects with accurate distance and radial velocity measurements, including globular clusters, satellite galaxies, field blue horizontal br…
Estimating Dark Matter Distributions
Xiao Wang, Michael Woodroofe, Matthew G. Walker +2
Thanks to instrumental advances, new, very large kinematic datasets for nearby dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies are on the horizon. A key aim of these datasets is to help determine…
Proper Motions of Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies from Hubble Space Telescope Imaging. III: Measurement for Ursa Minor
S. Piatek, C. Pryor, P. Bristow +5
This article presents a measurement of the proper motion of the Ursa Minor dwarf spheroidal galaxy determined from images taken with the Hubble Space Telescope in two distinct fiel…
