Dissecting the stellar content of Leo I: a dwarf irregular caught in transition
T. Ruiz-Lara, C. Gallart, M. Monelli +7
Leo I is considered one of the youngest dwarf spheroidals (dSph) in the Local Group. Its isolation, extended star formation history (SFH), and recent perigalacticon passage (~1 Gyr…
The Second Data Release of the Survey of the MAgellanic Stellar History (SMASH)
David L. Nidever, Knut Olsen, Yumi Choi +32
The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC) are the largest satellite galaxies of the Milky Way and close enough to allow for a detailed exploration of their structure and…
Larger in the disc of isolated active spiral galaxies than in their non-active twins
I. del Moral-Castro, B. García-Lorenzo, C. Ramos Almeida +6
We present a comparison of the spin parameter , measured in a region dominated by the galaxy disc, between 20 pairs of nearby (0.005z0.03) seemingly isolated twin galaxi…
The Large Magellanic Cloud stellar content with SMASH: I. Assessing the stability of the Magellanic spiral arms
T. Ruiz-Lara, C. Gallart, M. Monelli +23
The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) is the closest and most studied example of an irregular galaxy. Among its principal defining morphological features, its off-centred bar and single…
NIHAO XXIV: Rotation or pressure supported systems? Simulated Ultra Diffuse Galaxies show a broad distribution in their stellar kinematics
Salvador Cardona-Barrero, Arianna Di Cintio, Christopher B. A. Brook +4
In recent years a new window on galaxy evolution opened, thanks to the increasing discovery of galaxies with a low surface brightness, such as Ultra Diffuse Galaxies (UDGs). The fo…
The recurrent impact of the Sagittarius dwarf on the Milky Way star formation history
Tomás Ruiz-Lara, Carme Gallart, Edouard J. Bernard +1
Satellites orbiting disc galaxies can induce phase space features such as spirality, vertical heating and phase-mixing in their discs. Such features have also been observed in our…
