Gaia is a cornerstone mission in the science programme of the European Space Agency (ESA). The spacecraft construction was approved in 2006, following a study in which the original…
The Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE): Fifth Data Release
Andrea Kunder, Georges Kordopatis, Matthias Steinmetz +51
Data Release 5 (DR5) of the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE) is the fifth data release from a magnitude-limited (9< I < 12) survey of stars randomly selected in the southern hemis…
STEP: The VST survey of the SMC and the Magellanic Bridge. I. Overview and first results
V. Ripepi, M. Cignoni, M. Tosi +23
STEP (the SMC in Time: Evolution of a Prototype interacting late-type dwarf galaxy) is a Guaranteed Time Observation survey being performed at the VST (the ESO VLT Survey Telescope…
The Observed properties of Dark Matter on small spatial scales
Gerard Gilmore, Mark I. Wilkinson, Rosemary F. G. Wyse +3
We present a synthesis of recent photometric and kinematic data for several of the most dark-matter dominated galaxies. There is a bimodal distribution in half-light radii, with st…
Stellar kinematics and metallicities in the Leo I dwarf spheroidal galaxy -- wide field implications for galactic evolution
A. Koch, M. I. Wilkinson, J. T. Kleyna +5
We present low-resolution spectroscopy of 120 red giants in the Galactic satellite dwarf spheroidal (dSph) Leo I, obtained with the GeminiN-GMOS and Keck-DEIMOS spectrographs. We f…
