Limits on the Size and Orbit Distribution of Main Belt Comets
S. Sonnett, J. Kleyna, R. Jedicke +1
The seven known main belt comets (MBCs) have orbital characteristics of main belt asteroids yet exhibit dust ejection like comets. In order to constrain their physical and orbital…
A spectroscopic confirmation of the Bootes II dwarf spheroidal
A. Koch, M. I. Wilkinson, J. T. Kleyna +6
We present a new suite of photometric and spectroscopic data for the faint Bootes II dwarf spheroidal galaxy candidate. Our deep photometry, obtained with the INT/WFC, suggests a d…
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…
Cats and Dogs, Hair and A Hero: A Quintet of New Milky Way Companions
V. Belokurov, D. B. Zucker, N. W. Evans +31
We present five new satellites of the Milky Way discovered in Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) imaging data, four of which were followed-up with either the Subaru or the Isaac Newto…
