Gaia Data Release 1. Summary of the astrometric, photometric, and survey properties
Gaia Collaboration, A. G. A. Brown, A. Vallenari +5
At about 1000 days after the launch of Gaia we present the first Gaia data release, Gaia DR1, consisting of astrometry and photometry for over 1 billion sources brighter than magni…
The Gaia mission
Gaia Collaboration
Gaia is a cornerstone mission in the science programme of the European Space Agency (ESA). The spacecraft construction was approved in 2006, following a study in which the original…
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…
Leo V: A Companion of a Companion of the Milky Way Galaxy
V. Belokurov, M. G. Walker, N. W. Evans +7
We report the discovery of a new Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxy in the constellation of Leo identified in data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Leo V lies at a distance of abo…
The Observed properties of Dark Matter on small spatial scales
Gerard Gilmore, Mark I. Wilkinson, Rosemary F. G. Wyse +3
We present a synthesis of recent photometric and kinematic data for several of the most dark-matter dominated galaxies. There is a bimodal distribution in half-light radii, with st…
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…
