AGN outflows trigger starbursts in gas-rich galaxies

Kastytis Zubovas, Sergei Nayakshin, Andrew King +1

Recent well resolved numerical simulations of AGN feedback have shown that its effects on the host galaxy may be not only negative but also positive. In the late gas poor phase, AG…

A spectroscopic confirmation of the Bootes II dwarf spheroidal

A. Koch, M. I. Wilkinson, J. T. Kleyna +6

We present a new suite of photometric and spectroscopic data for the faint Bootes II dwarf spheroidal galaxy candidate. Our deep photometry, obtained with the INT/WFC, suggests a d…

What is a galaxy? How Cold is Cold Dark Matter? Recent progress in Near Field Cosmology

Gerard Gilmore, Dan Zucker, Mark Wilkinson +6

There has been a vast recent improvement in photometric and kinematic data for star clusters, Ultra Compact dwarfs, galactic nuclei, and local dSph galaxies, with Subaru contributi…

Discovery of an Unusual Dwarf Galaxy in the Outskirts of the Milky Way

M. J. Irwin, V. Belokurov, N. W. Evans +24

In this Letter, we announce the discovery of a new dwarf galaxy, Leo T, in the Local Group. It was found as a stellar overdensity in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 5 (SD…

Stellar kinematics and metallicities in the Leo I dwarf spheroidal galaxy -- wide field implications for galactic evolution

A. Koch, M. I. Wilkinson, J. T. Kleyna +5

We present low-resolution spectroscopy of 120 red giants in the Galactic satellite dwarf spheroidal (dSph) Leo I, obtained with the GeminiN-GMOS and Keck-DEIMOS spectrographs. We f…
