Gemini/GRACES Spectroscopy of Stars in Triangulum II
K. A. Venn, E. Starkenburg, L. Malo +2
The chemical abundance ratios and radial velocities for two stars in the recently discovered Triangulum II faint dwarf galaxy have been determined from high resolution, medium sign…
The oldest and most metal poor stars in the APOSTLE Local Group simulations
Else Starkenburg, Kyle A. Oman, Julio F. Navarro +5
We examine the spatial distribution of the oldest and most metal poor stellar populations of Milky Way-sized galaxies using the APOSTLE cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of t…
Building Blocks of the Milky Way's Accreted Spheroid
Pim van Oirschot, Else Starkenburg, Amina Helmi +1
In the CDM model of structure formation, a stellar spheroid grows by the assembly of smaller galaxies, the so-called building blocks. Combining the Munich-Groningen semi-analyti…
The impact of galactic properties and environment on the quenching of central and satellite galaxies: A comparison between SDSS, Illustris and L-Galaxies
Asa F. L. Bluck, J. Trevor Mendel, Sara L. Ellison +7
We quantify the impact that a variety of galactic and environmental properties have on the quenching of star formation. We collate a sample of 400,000 central and 100…
A concise overview of the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer
Alan W. McConnachie, Carine Babusiaux, Michael Balogh +19
This short document is intended as a companion and introduction to the Detailed Science Case (DSC) for the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer. It provides a concise summary of the ess…
The Detailed Science Case for the Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer: the Composition and Dynamics of the Faint Universe
Alan McConnachie, Carine Babusiaux, Michael Balogh +173
MSE is an 11.25m aperture observatory with a 1.5 square degree field of view that will be fully dedicated to multi-object spectroscopy. More than 3200 fibres will feed spectrograph…
