Triangulum II: Possibly a Very Dense Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxy
Evan N. Kirby, Judith G. Cohen, Joshua D. Simon +1
Laevens et al. recently discovered Triangulum II, a satellite of the Milky Way. Its Galactocentric distance is 36 kpc, and its luminosity is only 450 L_sun. Using Keck/DEIMOS, we m…
Spectroscopic Confirmation of the Dwarf Galaxies Hydra II and Pisces II and the Globular Cluster Laevens 1
Evan N. Kirby, Joshua D. Simon, Judith G. Cohen
We present Keck/DEIMOS spectroscopy of stars in the recently discovered Milky Way satellites Hydra II, Pisces II, and Laevens 1. We measured a velocity dispersion of 5.4 (+3.6 -2.4…
Carbon in Red Giants in Globular Clusters and Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies
Evan N. Kirby, Michelle Guo, Andrew J. Zhang +6
We present carbon abundances of red giants in Milky Way globular clusters and dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs). Our sample includes measurements of carbon abundances for 154 giant…
