Newly-Discovered Globular Clusters in NGC 147 and NGC 185 from PAndAS
J. Veljanoski, A. M. N. Ferguson, A. P. Huxor +8
Using data from the Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey (PAndAS), we have discovered four new globular clusters (GCs) associated with the M31 dwarf elliptical (dE) satellites NGC 1…
The Recent Stellar Archeology of M31 - The Nearest Red Disk Galaxy
T. J. Davidge, A. W. McConnachie, M. A. Fardal +5
We examine the star-forming history (SFH) of the M31 disk during the past few hundred Myr. The luminosity functions (LFs) of main sequence stars at distances R_GC > 21 kpc (i.e. >…
Polytropic model fits to the globular cluster NGC 2419 in Modified Newtonian Dynamics
Rodrigo Ibata, Antonio Sollima, Carlo Nipoti +3
We present an analysis of the globular cluster NGC 2419, using a polytropic model in Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) to reproduce recently published high quality data of the str…
PAndAS' progeny: extending the M31 dwarf galaxy cabal
Jenny C. Richardson, Mike Irwin, Alan W. McConnachie +8
We present the discovery of five new dwarf galaxies, Andromeda XXIII-XXVII, located in the outer halo of M31. These galaxies were found in the second year of data from the Pan-Andr…
Exploring the Properties of the M31 Halo Globular Cluster System
A. P. Huxor, A. M. N. Ferguson, N. R. Tanvir +6
Following on from our discovery of a significant population of M31 outer halo globular clusters (GCs), and updates to the Revised Bologna Catalogue of M31 GCs, we investigate the G…
The kinematic identification of a thick stellar disc in M31
M. L. M. Collins, S. C. Chapman, R. A. Ibata +6
We present the first characterization of a thick disc component in the Andromeda galaxy (M31) using kinematic data from the DEIMOS multi-object spectrograph instrument on Keck II.…
