Galactic Winds in Low-Mass Galaxies
Kristen B. W. McQuinn, Liese van Zee, Evan D. Skillman
Stellar-feedback driven outflows are predicted to play a fundamental role in the baryon cycle of low-mass galaxies. However, observational constraints of winds in nearby dwarf gala…
Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars in the Nearby Dwarf Galaxy Leo P
Steven R. Goldman, Martha L. Boyer, Kristen B. McQuinn +7
We have conducted a highly sensitive census of the evolved-star population in the metal-poor dwarf galaxy Leo P and detected four asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star candidates. Leo…
Comparing the Quenching Times of Faint M31 and Milky Way Satellite Galaxies
Daniel R. Weisz, Nicolas F. Martin, Andrew E. Dolphin +8
We present the star formation histories (SFHs) of 20 faint M31 satellites () that were measured by modeling sub-horizontal branch (HB) depth color-mag…
Star formation at the edge of the Local Group: a rising star formation history in the isolated galaxy WLM
Saundra M. Albers, Daniel R. Weisz, Andrew A. Cole +11
We present the star formation history (SFH) of the isolated (D~970 kpc) Local Group dwarf galaxy WLM measured from color-magnitude diagrams constructed from deep Hubble Space Teles…
A rogues gallery of Andromeda's dwarf galaxies II. Precise Distances to 17 Faint Satellites
Daniel R. Weisz, Andrew E. Dolphin, Nicolas F. Martin +8
We present new horizontal branch (HB) distance measurements to 17 of the faintest known M31 satellites () based on deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST)…
Using the Tip of the Red Giant Branch as a Distance Indicator in the Near Infrared
Kristen. B. W. McQuinn, Martha Boyer, Evan D. Skillman +1
The tip of the red giant branch (TRGB) is a well-established standard candle used to measure distances to nearby galaxies. The TRGB luminosity is typically measured in the I-band,…
