The extremely low-metallicity tail of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy
Else Starkenburg, Vanessa Hill, Eline Tolstoy +10
We present abundances for seven stars in the (extremely) low-metallicity tail of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy, from spectra taken with X-shooter on the ESO VLT. Targets wer…
Galaxy Pairs in the Local Group
Azadeh Fattahi, Julio F. Navarro, Else Starkenburg +2
Current models of galaxy formation predict that galaxy pairs of comparable magnitudes should become increasingly rare with decreasing luminosity. This seems at odds with the relati…
The Star Formation & Chemical Evolution History of the Fornax Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
T. J. L. de Boer, E. Tolstoy, V. Hill +6
We present deep photometry in the B,V and I filters from CTIO/MOSAIC for about 270.000 stars in the Fornax dwarf Spheroidal galaxy, out to a radius of r_ell\sim0.8 degrees. By comb…
Dark satellites and the morphology of dwarf galaxies
Amina Helmi, L. V. Sales, E. Starkenburg +4
One of the strongest predictions of the LambdaCDM cosmological model is the presence of dark satellites orbiting all types of galaxies. We focus here on the dynamical effects of su…
The satellites of the Milky Way - Insights from semi-analytic modelling in a LambdaCDM cosmology
Else Starkenburg, Amina Helmi, Gabriella De Lucia +7
We combine the six high-resolution Aquarius dark matter simulations with a semi-analytic galaxy formation model to investigate the properties of the satellites of Milky Way-like ga…
Nucleosynthesis and the Inhomogeneous Chemical Evolution of the Carina Dwarf Galaxy
Kim Venn, Matthew Shetrone, Mike Irwin +12
The detailed abundances of 23 elements in nine bright RGB stars in the Carina dSph are presented based on high resolution spectra gathered at the VLT and Magellan telescopes. A sph…
