A Search For Star Formation in the Smith Cloud
David V. Stark, Ashley D. Baker, Sheila J. Kannappan
Motivated by the idea that a subset of HVCs trace dark matter substructure in the Local Group, we search for signs of star formation in the Smith Cloud, a nearby ~2x10^6 Msun HVC c…
The AIMSS Project II: Dynamical-to-Stellar Mass Ratios Across the Star Cluster - Galaxy Divide
Duncan A. Forbes, Mark A. Norris, Jay Strader +5
The previously clear division between small galaxies and massive star clusters is now occupied by objects called ultra compact dwarfs (UCDs) and compact ellipticals (cEs). Here we…
The AIMSS Project I: Bridging the Star Cluster - Galaxy Divide
Mark A. Norris, Sheila J. Kannappan, Duncan A. Forbes +15
We describe the structural and kinematic properties of the first compact stellar systems discovered by the AIMSS project. These spectroscopically confirmed objects have sizes ($\si…
