Global Properties of M31's Stellar Halo from the SPLASH Survey. I. Surface Brightness Profile
Karoline M. Gilbert, Puragra Guhathakurta, Rachael L. Beaton +10
We present the surface brightness profile of M31's stellar halo out to a projected radius of 175 kpc. The surface brightness estimates are based on confirmed samples of M31 red gia…
Galaxies behind the Galactic plane: First results and perspectives from the VVV Survey
E. B. Amôres, L. Sodré, D. Minniti +8
Vista Variables in The Via Lactea (VVV) is an ESO variability survey that is performing observations in near infrared bands (ZYJHKs) towards the Galactic bulge and part of the disk…
The SPLASH Survey: Kinematics of Andromeda's Inner Spheroid
Claire E. Dorman, Puragra Guhathakurta, Mark A. Fardal +12
The combination of large size, high stellar density, high metallicity, and Sersic surface brightness profile of the spheroidal component of the Andromeda galaxy (M31) within R_proj…
