Weighing the Galactic disk using the Jeans equation: lessons from simulations
G. N. Candlish, R. Smith, C. Moni Bidin +1
Using three-dimensional stellar kinematic data from simulated galaxies, we examine the efficacy of a Jeans equation analysis in reconstructing the total disk surface density, inclu…
A Possible Formation Scenario for Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies - II: A Parameter Study
P. Assmann, M. Fellhauer, M. I. Wilkinson +2
Dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies are considered the basic building blocks of the galaxy formation process in the LCDM (Lambda Cold Dark Matter) hierarchical cosmological model. The…
How effective is harassment on infalling late-type dwarfs?
R. Smith, J. I. Davies, A. H. Nelson
A new harassment model is presented that models the complex, and dynamical tidal field of a Virgo like galaxy cluster. The model is applied to small, late-type dwarf disc galaxies…
The Orbital Period of HDE226868/Cyg X-1
J. LaSala, P. A. Charles, R. A. D. Smith +2
We present epoch 1996, high-quality radial velocity data for HDE 226868, the optical counterpart of Cygnus X-1. Combining our results with all published historical data, we have de…
