Accretion of the Magellanic system onto the Galaxy
Matthew Nichols, James Colless, Matthew Colless +1
Our Galaxy is surrounded by a large family of dwarf galaxies of which the most massive are the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds (LMC and SMC). Recent evidence suggests that system…
Episodic starbursts in dwarf spheroidal galaxies: a simple model
Matthew Nichols, Doug Lin, Joss Bland-Hawthorn
Dwarf galaxies in the Local Group appear to be stripped of their gas within 270 kpc of the host galaxy. Color-magnitude diagrams of these dwarfs, however, show clear evidence of ep…
Gas depletion in Local Group dwarfs on ~250 kpc scales: Ram pressure stripping assisted by internal heating at early times
Matthew Nichols, Joss Bland-Hawthorn
A recent survey of the Galaxy and M31 reveals that more than 90% of dwarf galaxies within 270 kpc of their host galaxy are deficient in HI gas. At such an extreme radius, the coron…
