The SLUGGS Survey: The Inner Dark Matter Density Slope of the Massive Elliptical Galaxy NGC 1407
Asher Wasserman, Aaron J. Romanowsky, Jean Brodie +7
We investigate the dark matter density profile of the massive elliptical galaxy, NGC 1407, by constructing spherically symmetric Jeans models of its field star and globular cluster…
Mapping the Tidal Disruption of the Hercules Dwarf: A Wide-Field DECam Imaging Search for RR Lyrae Stars
Christopher Garling, Beth Willman, David J. Sand +10
We investigate the hypothesized tidal disruption of the Hercules ultra-faint dwarf galaxy (UFD). Previous tidal disruption studies of the Hercules UFD have been hindered by the hig…
Deep Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam observations of Milky Way satellites Columba I and Triangulum II
Jeffrey L. Carlin, David J. Sand, Ricardo R. Munoz +9
We present deep, wide-field Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam photometry of two recently discovered satellites of the Milky Way (MW): Columba I and Triangulum II. The color magnitude diagra…
Detection of Enhanced Central Mass-to-Light Ratios in Low-Mass Early-Type Galaxies: Evidence for Black Holes?
Renuka Pechetti, Anil Seth, Michele Cappellari +4
We present dynamical measurements of the central mass-to-light ratio () of a sample of 27 low-mass early-type ATLAS galaxies. We consider all ATLAS galaxies with…
The faint globular cluster in the dwarf galaxy Andromeda I
Nelson Caldwell, Jay Strader, David J. Sand +2
Observations of globular clusters in dwarf galaxies can be used to study a variety of topics, including the structure of dark matter halos and the history of vigorous star formatio…
The SLUGGS Survey: Trails of SLUGGS galaxies in a modified spin-ellipticity diagram
Sabine Bellstedt, Alister W. Graham, Duncan A. Forbes +3
We present radial tracks for four early-type galaxies with embedded intermediate-scale discs in a modified spin-ellipticity diagram. Here, each galaxy's spin and ellipticity profil…
