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…
Thirty Meter Telescope International Observatory Detailed Science Case 2024
Warren Skidmore, Bob Kirshner, David Andersen +168
The Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT) International Observatory (TIO) will be a revolutionary leap forward in astronomical observing capabilities, enabling us to address some of the mos…
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…
