Probing the Outer Galactic halo with RR Lyrae from the Catalina Surveys
A. J. Drake, M. Catelan, S. G. Djorgovski +10
We present the analysis of 12227 type-ab RR Lyrae found among the 200 million public lightcurves in the Catalina Surveys Data Release 1 (CSDR1). These stars span the largest volume…
Broken and unbroken: the Milky Way and M31 stellar haloes
A. J. Deason, V. Belokurov, N. W. Evans +1
We use the Bullock & Johnston suite of simulations to study the density profiles of L*-type galaxy stellar haloes. Observations of the Milky Way and M31 stellar haloes show contras…
The stretching of Hercules
A. J. Deason, V. Belokurov, N. W. Evans +2
We present VLT/FORS2 spectroscopy of candidate blue horizontal branch (BHB) stars in the vicinity of the Hercules ultrafaint dwarf galaxy. We identify eight convincing Hercules BHB…
