A Canis Major over-density imaging survey. I. Stellar content and star-count maps : A distinctly elongated body of main sequence stars
D. J. Butler, D. Martinez-Delgado, H-W. Rix +2
[Abridged] We present first results from a large-area (~80degx20deg), sparsely sampled two-filter (B,R) imaging survey towards the Canis Major stellar over-density, claimed to be a…
Multiple dynamical components in Local Group dwarf spheroidals
Alan W. McConnachie, Jorge Penarrubia, Julio F. Navarro
The dwarf spheroidal (dSph) satellites of the Local Group have long been thought to be simple spheroids of stars embedded within extended dark matter halos. Recently, however, evid…
The Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE): first data release
M. Steinmetz, T. Zwitter, A. Siebert +51
We present the first data release of the Radial Velocity Experiment (RAVE), an ambitious spectroscopic survey to measure radial velocities and stellar atmosphere parameters (temper…
On the formation of extended galactic disks by tidally disrupted dwarf galaxies
Jorge Penarrubia, Alan McConnachie, Arif Babul
We explore the possibility that extended disks, such as that recently discovered in M31, are the result of a single dwarf (10^9--10^10 Msun) satellite merger. We carry out N-body s…
