A Keck/Deimos Survey of Red Giant Branch Stars in the Outskirts of M31
Annette Ferguson, Scott Chapman, Rodrigo Ibata +3
We are using the DEIMOS multi-object spectrograph on the Keck II 10m telescope to conduct a spectroscopic survey of red giant branch stars in the outskirts of M31. To date, velocit…
Detecting compact dark matter in galaxy clusters via gravitational microlensing: A2218 & A370
Artem Tuntsov, Geraint Lewis, Rodrigo Ibata +1
After decades of searching, the true nature of dark matter still eludes us. One potential probe of the form of dark matter in galaxy clusters is to search for microlensing variabil…
HST Observations of the Main Sequence of M4
H. B. Richer, G. G. Fahlman, J. Brewer +8
This paper presents new results from a photometric study of the main-sequence stars in M4, the closest globular cluster to the sun. Multi-field, multi-epoch observations at approxi…
Newly Discovered Globular Clusters in the Outer Halo of M31
A. Huxor, N. R. Tanvir, M. Irwin +4
We present nine newly discovered globular clusters in the outer halo of M31, found by a semi-automated procedure from a INT Wide Field Camera survey of the region. The sample inclu…
The Structure of High Redshift Galactic Halos
Sara L. Ellison, Rodrigo Ibata, Max Pettini +4
Observations of multiple or lensed QSOs at high redshift can be used to probe transverse structure in intervening absorption systems. Here we present results obtained from STIS spe…
Globular Clusters in the Sgr Stream and other structures
M. Bellazzini, R. Ibata, F. R Ferraro
The possible association of Galactic globular clusters with the Sgr Stream is shortly reviewed at the light of the most recent observations of the Stream. >= 20 % of the Galactic g…
