The Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE): second data release
T. Zwitter, A. Siebert, U. Munari +51
We present the second data release of the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE), an ambitious spectroscopic survey to measure radial velocities (RVs) and stellar atmosphere parameters…
The ghost of a dwarf galaxy: fossils of the hierarchical formation of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 5907
David Martinez-Delgado, Jorge Penarrubia, R. Jay Gabany +3
We present an extragalactic perspective of an extended stellar tidal stream wrapping around the edge-on, spiral galaxy NGC 5907. Our deep images reveal for the first time a large s…
Is the sky falling? Searching for stellar streams in the local Milky Way disc in the CORAVEL and RAVE surveys
G. M. Seabroke, G. Gilmore, A. Siebert +19
We have searched for in-falling stellar streams on to the local Milky Way disc in the CORAVEL and RAVE surveys. The CORAVEL survey consists of local dwarf stars (Nordstrom et al. G…
The Tidal Evolution of Local Group Dwarf Spheroidals
Jorge Penarrubia, Julio F. Navarro, Alan W. McConnachie
(Abridged) We use N-body simulations to study the evolution of dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) driven by galactic tides. We adopt a cosmologically-motivated model where dSphs are…
Strangers in the night: Discovery of a dwarf spheroidal galaxy on its first Local Group infall
S. C. Chapman, J. Penarrubia, R. Ibata +9
We present spectroscopic observations of the AndXII dwarf spheroidal galaxy using DEIMOS/Keck-II, showing it to be moving rapidly through the Local Group (-556 km/s heliocentric ve…
The Cold Dark Matter Halos of Local Group Dwarf Spheroidals
Jorge Penarrubia, Alan McConnachie, Julio F. Navarro
We examine the dynamics of stellar systems embedded within cold dark matter (CDM) halos in order to assess observational constraints on the dark matter content of Local Group dwarf…
