Stellar streams as gravitational experiments II. Asymmetric tails of globular cluster streams
Guillaume F. Thomas, Benoit Famaey, Rodrigo Ibata +3
Kinematically cold tidal streams of globular clusters (GC) are excellent tracers of the Galactic gravitational potential at moderate Galactocentric distances, and can also be used…
Feeling the pull, a study of natural Galactic accelerometers. II: kinematics and mass of the delicate stellar stream of the Palomar 5 globular cluster
Rodrigo A. Ibata, Geraint F. Lewis, Guillaume Thomas +2
We present two spectroscopic surveys of the tidal stellar stream of the Palomar 5 globular cluster, undertaken with the VLT/FLAMES and AAT/AAOmega instruments. We use these data in…
Chemical Mapping of the Milky Way With The Canada-France Imaging Survey: A Non-parametric Metallicity-Distance Decomposition of the Galaxy
Rodrigo Ibata, Alan McConnachie, Jean-Charles Cuillandre +41
We present the chemical distribution of the Milky Way, based on 2,900 of -band photometry taken as part of the Canada-France Imaging Survey. When complete, this…
The Canada-France Imaging Survey: First results from the u-band component
Rodrigo Ibata, Alan McConnachie, Jean-Charles Cuillandre +41
The Canada-France Imaging Survey (CFIS) will map the northern high Galactic latitude sky in the -band ("CFIS-u", 10,000) and in the -band ("CFIS-r", 5,000$\,…
Stellar streams as gravitational experiments I. The case of Sagittarius
Guillaume F. Thomas, Benoit Famaey, Rodrigo Ibata +2
Tidal streams of disrupting dwarf galaxies orbiting around their host galaxy offer a unique way to constrain the shape of galactic gravitational potentials. Such streams can be use…
Exploring the reality of density substructures in the Palomar 5 stellar stream
Guillaume F. Thomas, Rodrigo Ibata, Benoit Famaey +2
We present an analysis of the presence of substructures in the stellar stream of the Palomar 5 globular cluster, as derived from Sloan Digital Sky Survey data. Using a matched filt…
