Young stars discovered in dwarf spheroidal galaxies confirm their recent infall into the Milky way
Francois Hammer, Piercarlo Bonifacio, Elisabetta Caffau +10
Recent observations from the ESA Gaia satellite and with the ESO VLT, have identified the presence of a population of young, 0.5 to 2 Gyr old, stars in the halo and in dwarf sphero…
An intriguing coincidence between the majority of vast polar structure dwarfs and a recent major merger at the M31 position
Istiak Akib, François Hammer, Yanbin Yang +2
A significant part of the Milky Way (MW) dwarf galaxies orbit within a Vast POlar Structure (VPOS), which is perpendicular to the Galactic disc and whose origin has not yet been id…
The accretion history of the Milky Way IV. Hints of recent star formation in Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxies
Yanbin Yang, Elisabetta Caffau, Piercarlo Bonifacio +3
Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are known to be dominated by old stellar populations. This has led to the assumption that their gas-rich progenitors lost their gas during their infall in…
The Accretion History of the Milky Way: III. Hydrodynamical Simulations of Galactic Dwarf Galaxies at First Infall
Jianling Wang, Francois Hammer, Yanbin Yang +3
Most Milky Way dwarf galaxies are much less bound to their host than are relics of Gaia-Sausage-Enceladus and Sgr. These dwarfs are expected to have fallen into the Galactic halo l…
The accretion history of the Milky Way. II. Internal kinematics of globular clusters and of dwarf galaxies
Francois Hammer, Jianling Wang, Gary A. Mamon +7
We study how structural properties of globular clusters and dwarf galaxies are linked to their orbits in the Milky Way halo. From the inner to the outer halo, orbital energy increa…
Strong [OIII]λ5007 emission line compact galaxies in LAMOST DR9: Blueberries, Green Peas and Purple Grapes
Siqi Liu, A-Li Luo, Huan Yang +8
Green Pea and Blueberry galaxies are well-known for their compact size, low mass, strong emission lines and analogs to high-z Lyα emitting galaxies. In this study, 1547 strong [OII…
