Globular Clusters and Satellite Galaxies: Companions to the Milky Way
Duncan A. Forbes, Pavel Kroupa, Manuel Metz +1
Our Milky Way galaxy is host to a number of companions. These companions are gravitationally bound to the Milky Way and are stellar systems in their own right. They include a popul…
Galactic Dynamics and Local Dark Matter
Steven R. Majewski, James Bullock, Andreas Burkert +13
The concordance Lambda Cold Dark Matter (Lambda-CDM) model for the formation of structure in the Universe, while remarkably successful at describing observations of structure on la…
Discs of Satellites: the new dwarf spheroidals
Manuel Metz, Pavel Kroupa, Helmut Jerjen
The spatial distributions of the most recently discovered ultra faint dwarf satellites around the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy are compared to the previously reported discs-o…
The orbital poles of Milky Way satellite galaxies: a rotationally supported disc-of-satellites
Manuel Metz, Pavel Kroupa, Noam I. Libeskind
Available proper motion measurements of Milky Way (MW) satellite galaxies are used to calculate their orbital poles and projected uncertainties. These are compared to a set of rece…
The spatial distribution of the Milky Way and Andromeda satellite galaxies
M. Metz, P. Kroupa, H. Jerjen
There are two fundamentally different physical origins of faint satellite galaxies: cosmological sub-structures that contain shining baryons and the fragmentation of gas-rich tidal…
Formalism and quality of a proper motion link with extragalactic objects for astrometric satellite missions
M. Metz, M. Geffert
The accuracy of the link of the proper motion system of astrometric satellite missions like AMEX and GAIA is discussed. Monte-Carlo methods were used to simulate catalogues of posi…
