The contribution of dissolving star clusters to the population of ultra-faint objects in the outer halo of the Milky Way
Filippo Contenta, Mark Gieles, Eduardo Balbinot +1
In the last decade, several ultra faint objects (UFOs, ) have been discovered in the outer halo of the Milky Way. For some of these objects it is not clear whether…
The Astropy Problem
Demitri Muna, Michael Alexander, Alice Allen +151
The Astropy Project (http://astropy.org) is, in its own words, "a community effort to develop a single core package for Astronomy in Python and foster interoperability between Pyth…
The PAndAS view of the Andromeda satellite system - II. Detailed properties of 23 M31 dwarf spheroidal galaxies
Nicolas F. Martin, Rodrigo A. Ibata, Geraint F. Lewis +15
We present a comprehensive analysis of the structural properties and luminosities of the 23 dwarf spheroidal galaxies that fall within the footprint of the Pan-Andromeda Archaeolog…
Exploding Satellites -- The Tidal Debris of the Ultra-Faint Dwarf Galaxy Hercules
Andreas H. W. Küpper, Kathryn V. Johnston, Steffen Mieske +2
The ultra-faint satellite galaxy Hercules has a strongly elongated and irregular morphology with detections of tidal features up to 1.3 deg (3 kpc) from its center. This suggests t…
Dynamical evidence for a strong tidal interaction between the Milky Way and its satellite, Leo V
Michelle L. M. Collins, Erik J. Tollerud, David J. Sand +3
We present a chemodynamical analysis of the Leo~V dwarf galaxy, based on Keck II DEIMOS spectra of 8 member stars. We find a systemic velocity for the system of $\langle v_r\rangle…
Comparing the observable properties of dwarf galaxies on and off the Andromeda plane
Michelle L. M. Collins, Nicolas F. Martin, R. M. Rich +6
The thin, extended planes of satellite galaxies detected around both the Milky Way and Andromeda are not a natural prediction of the LCDM paradigm. Galaxies in these distinct plane…
