SMASH - Survey of the MAgellanic Stellar History
David L. Nidever, Knut Olsen, Alistair R. Walker +36
The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) are unique local laboratories for studying the formation and evolution of small galaxies in exquisite detail. The Survey of the…
SMASH 1: a very faint globular cluster disrupting in the outer reaches of the LMC?
Nicolas F. Martin, Valentin Jungbluth, David L. Nidever +20
We present the discovery of a very faint stellar system, SMASH 1, that is potentially a satellite of the Large Magellanic Cloud. Found within the Survey of the MAgellanic Stellar H…
Variable stars in the field of the Hydra II ultra-faint dwarf galaxy
A. Katherina Vivas, Knut Olsen, Robert Blum +12
We report the discovery of one RR Lyrae star in the ultra--faint satellite galaxy Hydra II based on time series photometry in the g, r and i bands obtained with the Dark Energy Cam…
Hydra II: a faint and compact Milky Way dwarf galaxy found in the Survey of the Magellanic Stellar History
Nicolas F. Martin, David L. Nidever, Gurtina Besla +26
We present the discovery of a new dwarf galaxy, Hydra II, found serendipitously within the data from the ongoing Survey of the MAgellanic Stellar History (SMASH) conducted with the…
What can Gaia proper motions tell us about Milky Way dwarf galaxies?
Shoko Jin, Amina Helmi, Maarten Breddels
We present a proper-motion study on models of the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Sculptor, based on the predicted proper-motion accuracy of Gaia measurements. Gaia will measure proper mot…
On the nature of the stellar bridge between Leo IV and Leo V
Shoko Jin, Nicolas Martin, Jelte de Jong +3
We present a revised analysis of a speculated stellar bridge between the Milky Way dwarf galaxies Leo IV and Leo V. Using data acquired with Subaru/Suprime-Cam over a 1deg x 4deg f…
