Stealth Galaxies in the Halo of the Milky Way
James S. Bullock, Kyle R. Stewart, Manoj Kaplinghat +2
We predict that there is a population of low-luminosity dwarf galaxies orbiting within the halo of the Milky Way that have surface brightnesses low enough to have escaped detection…
Testing galaxy formation scenarios with a new mass estimator
Joe Wolf
We present the recently derived Wolf et al. (2009) mass estimator, which is applicable for spherical pressure-supported stellar systems spanning over ten orders of magnitude in lum…
The SPLASH Survey: Internal Kinematics, Chemical Abundances, and Masses of the Andromeda I, II, III, VII, X, and XIV dSphs
Jason S. Kalirai, Rachael L. Beaton, Marla C. Geha +7
We present new Keck/DEIMOS spectroscopic observations of hundreds of individual stars along the sightline to Andromeda's first three discovered dwarf spheroidal galaxies (dSphs) -…
Accurate masses for dispersion-supported galaxies
Joe Wolf, Gregory D. Martinez, James S. Bullock +5
We derive an accurate mass estimator for dispersion-supported stellar systems and demonstrate its validity by analyzing resolved line-of-sight velocity data for globular clusters,…
