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…
