Kinematics of the Palomar 5 stellar stream from RR Lyrae stars

Adrian M. Price-Whelan, Cecilia Mateu, Giuliano Iorio +3

Thin stellar streams, formed from the tidal disruption of globular clusters, are important gravitational tools, sensitive to both global and small-scale properties of dark matter.…

Variations in the width, density, and direction of the Palomar 5 tidal tails

Ana Bonaca, Sarah Pearson, Adrian M. Price-Whelan +8

Stars that escape globular clusters form tidal tails that are predominantly shaped by the global distribution of mass in the Galaxy, but also preserve a historical record of small-…

Detecting Thin Stellar Streams in External Galaxies: Resolved Stars & Integrated Light

Sarah Pearson, Tjitske K. Starkenburg, Kathryn V. Johnston +2

The morphology of thin stellar streams can be used to test the nature of dark matter. It is therefore crucial to extend searches for globular cluster streams to other galaxies than…

A Widespread, Clumpy Starburst in the Isolated Ongoing Dwarf Galaxy Merger dm1647+21

G. C. Privon, S. Stierwalt, D. R. Patton +6

Interactions between pairs of isolated dwarf galaxies provide a critical window into low-mass hierarchical, gas-dominated galaxy assembly and the buildup of stellar mass in low-met…

Local Volume TiNy Titans: Gaseous Dwarf-Dwarf Interactions in the Local Universe

Sarah Pearson, Gurtina Besla, Mary E. Putman +8

In this paper, we introduce the Local Volume TiNy Titans sample (LV-TNT), which is a part of a larger body of work on interacting dwarf galaxies: TNT (Stierwalt et al. 2015). This…
