The Tidal Tails of NGC 5466
M. Fellhauer, N. W. Evans, V. Belokurov +2
The study of substructure in the stellar halo of the Milky Way has made a lot of progress in recent years, especially with the advent of surveys like the Sloan Digital Sky Survey.…
Stellar kinematics in the remote Leo II dwarf spheroidal galaxy -- Another brick in the wall
A. Koch, J. T. Kleyna, M. I. Wilkinson +5
We present the projected velocity dispersion profile for the remote (d=233kpc) Galactic dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy Leo II, based on 171 discrete stellar radial velocities that…
The effect of stellar-mass black holes on the structural evolution of massive star clusters
A. D. Mackey, M. I. Wilkinson, M. B. Davies +1
We present the results of realistic N-body modelling of massive star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds, aimed at investigating a dynamical origin for the radius-age trend observed…
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…
The Hercules-Aquila Cloud
V. Belokurov, N. W. Evans, E. F. Bell +23
We present evidence for a substantial overdensity of stars in the direction of the constellations of Hercules and Aquila. The Cloud is centered at a Galactic longitude of about 40…
