Age and metallicity of low-mass galaxies: from their centres to their stellar halos

Elisa A. Tau, Antonela Monachesi, Facundo A. Gómez +5

We aim to analyse the metallicity and the ages of the stellar halos of low-mass galaxies to better understand their formation history. We use 17 simulated low-mass galaxies from th…

The Galactic Bulge exploration VI.: Gaia Enceladus/Sausage RR Lyrae stars in the inner-central stellar halo of the Milky Way

Andrea Kunder, Zdenek Prudil, Antonela Monachesi +6

We present a view of the stellar halo in the inner-central regions of the Milky Way (R <~ 10 kpc) mapped by RR Lyrae stars. The combined BRAVA-RR/APOGEE RR Lyrae catalog is used to…

Unveiling the formation channels of stellar halos through their chemical fingerprints

Jenny Gonzalez-Jara, Patricia B. Tissera, Antonela Monachesi +6

Stellar halos around galaxies contain key information about their formation and assembly history. Using simulations, we can trace the origins of different stellar populations in th…

The role of accreted and in situ populations in shaping the stellar halos of low-mass galaxies

Elisa A. Tau, Antonela Monachesi, Facundo A. Gomez +7

The stellar halos of dwarf galaxies are becoming an object of interest in the extragalactic community due to their detection in some recent observations. Additionally, new cosmolog…

Extended stellar populations in Ultra-Faint Dwarf galaxies

Elisa A. Tau, A. Katherina Vivas, Clara E. Martínez-Vázquez

The possible existence of stellar halos in low-mass galaxies is being intensely discussed nowadays after some recent discoveries of stars located in the outskirts of dwarf galaxies…
