Close encounters in young stellar clusters: implications for planetary systems in the solar neighbourhood
Daniel Malmberg, Francesca De Angeli, Melvyn B. Davies +3
The stars that populate the solar neighbourhood were formed in stellar clusters. Through N-body simulations of these clusters, we measure the rate of close encounters between stars…
Is Ursa Major II the Progenitor of the Orphan Stream?
M. Fellhauer, N. W. Evans, V. Belokurov +9
Prominent in the `Field of Streams' -- the Sloan Digital Sky Survey map of substructure in the Galactic halo -- is an `Orphan Stream' without obvious progenitor. In this numerical…
Chemical Evolution in the Carina Dwarf Spheroidal
A. Koch, E. K. Grebel, D. Harbeck +5
We present metallicities for 487 red giants in the Carina dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy that were obtained from FLAMES low-resolution Ca triplet (CaT) spectroscopy. We find a mean…
Mapping the Remote Milky Way Halo using BHB stars at 70 < r < 130 kpc
L. Clewley, S. J. Warren, P. C. Hewett +2
We increase the number of remote halo tracers by using blue horizontal branch (BHB) stars out to Galactocentric distances of 130 kpc. We use SDSS EDR photometry and the VLT to dete…
