The masses of Local Group dwarf spheroidal galaxies: The death of the universal mass profile
Michelle L. M. Collins, Scott C. Chapman, R. M. Rich +12
We investigate the claim that all dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) reside within halos that share a common, universal mass profile as has been derived for dSphs of the Galaxy. By…
A kinematic study of the Andromeda dwarf spheroidal system
Michelle L. M. Collins, Scott C. Chapman, R. Michael Rich +12
We present a homogeneous kinematic analysis of red giant branch stars within 18 of the 28 Andromeda dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies, obtained using the Keck I LRIS and Keck II DEI…
The remnants of galaxy formation from a panoramic survey of the region around M31
Alan W. McConnachie, Michael J. Irwin, Rodrigo A. Ibata +26
In hierarchical cosmological models, galaxies grow in mass through the continual accretion of smaller ones. The tidal disruption of these systems is expected to result in loosely b…
