Absolute Proper Motion of the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy Candidate
Dana I. Dinescu, David Martinez-Delgado, Terrence M. Girard +4
We have measured the absolute proper motion of the candidate Canis Major dwarf galaxy (CMa) at $(l,b) = (240\arcdeg, -8\arcdeg)$. Likely main-sequence stars in CMa have been select…
The Canis Major dwarf galaxy as the progenitor of the Monoceros tidal stream
David Martinez-Delgado, Jorge Penarrubia, D. I. Dinescu +2
The Sloan Digital Sky Survey has recently discovered a coherent ring of stars at low galactic latitude that is believed to be the tidal stream of a merging dwarf galaxy in the Gala…
Probing the nature of Possible Open Cluster Remnants with the Southern Proper Motion Program
Giovanni Carraro, Dana Dinescu, Terrence Girard +1
We discuss the nature of eleven Possible Open Cluster Remnants (POCRs) by using absolute proper motions from the Southern Proper Motion (SPM) Program 3 (Girard et al. 2004) combine…
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…
Absolute Proper Motion of the Fornax Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy from Photographic and HST WFPC2 Data
Dana I. Dinescu, Brian A. Keeney, Steve R. Majewski +1
We have measured the absolute proper motion of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy from a combination of photographic plate material and HST WFPC2 data that provide a time baseline…
