A comprehensive model for the Monoceros tidal stream

J. Penarrubia, D. Martinez-Delgado, H. W. Rix +7

We have compiled an extensive dataset on potential parts of the Monoceros tidal stream and performed an exhaustive survey of dwarf galaxy semi-analytic orbits in order to constrain…

The Closest View of a Dwarf Galaxy: New Evidence on the Nature of the Canis Major over-density

David Martinez-Delgado, David J. Butler, Hans-Walter Rix +4

We present a first deep colour-magnitude diagram of the putative central region (0.5 deg x 0.5 deg) of the Canis Major stellar over-density (l,b)=(240,-8) found by Martin et al. (2…

Mapping Tidal Streams around Galactic Globular Clusters

David Martinez-Delgado, Dana I. Dinescu, Robert Zinn +3

The surroundings of globular clusters in the outer halo are one of the best places to look for the remnants of ancient dwarf satellites. The classical Searle & Zinn (1978) scenario…

Mass Segregation in the Globular Cluster Palomar 5 and its Tidal Tails

A. Koch, E. K. Grebel, M. Odenkirchen +2

We present the stellar main sequence luminosity function (LF) of the disrupted, low-mass, low-concentration globular cluster Palomar 5 and its well-defined tidal tails, which emana…

A New Giant Stellar Structure in the Outer Halo of M31

Daniel B. Zucker, Alexei Y. Kniazev, Eric F. Bell +17

The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has revealed an overdensity of luminous red giant stars ~ 3 degrees (40 projected kpc) to the northeast of M31, which we have called Andromeda NE. The…
