Could Segue 1 be a destroyed star cluster? - a dynamical perspective
Raul Dominguez, Michael Fellhauer, Matias Blaña +5
We attempt to find a progenitor for the ultra-faint object Segue 1 under the assumption that it formed as a dark matter free star cluster in the past. We look for orbits, using the…
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…
Life and death of a hero - Lessons learned from modeling the dwarf spheroidal Hercules: an incorrect orbit?
M. Blana, M. Fellhauer, R. Smith +3
Hercules is a dwarf spheroidal satellite of the Milky Way, found at a distance of about 138 kpc, and showing evidence of tidal disruption. It is very elongated and exhibits a veloc…
The Influence of Ram Pressure on the Evolution of Tidal Dwarf Galaxies
R. Smith, P. A. Duc, G. N. Candlish +3
The formation mechanism of tidal dwarf galaxies means they are expected to contain little or no dark matter. As such, they might be expected to be very sensitive to their environme…
Ursa Major II - Reproducing the observed properties through tidal disruption
R. Smith, M. Fellhauer, G. N. Candlish +3
Recent deep photometry of the dwarf spheroidal Ursa Major II's morphology, and spectroscopy of individual stars, have provided a number of new constraints on its properties. With a…
