Ursa Major: a missing low-mass CDM halo?
J. T. Kleyna, M. I. Wilkinson, N. W. Evans +1
The recently discovered Ursa Major dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy candidate is about five to eight times less luminous than the faintest previously known dSphs And IX, Draco, and U…
Distant Field BHB Stars III: Identification of a probable outer halo stream at Galactocentric distance r = 70 kpc
L. Clewley, S. J. Warren, P. C. Hewett +3
We present VLT-FORS1 spectra of a sample of 34 faint 20.0 < g* < 21.1 A-type stars selected from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Early Data Release, with the goal of measuring the vel…
The tidal stripping of satellites
J. I. Read, M. I. Wilkinson, N. W. Evans +2
We present an improved analytic calculation for the tidal radius of satellites and test our results against N-body simulations. The tidal radius in general depends upon four factor…
