The low-mass and structured stellar halo of M83 argues against a merger origin for its starburst and extended neutral hydrogen disk
Eric F. Bell, Benjamin Harmsen, Matthew Cosby +12
A merger origin has been suggested for M83's massive, metal-rich extended HI disk and nuclear starburst. We observe M83's stellar halo to test this idea. We train nearest-neighbor…
Constraining the assembly time of the stellar haloes of nearby Milky Way-mass galaxies through AGB populations
Benjamin Harmsen, Eric F. Bell, Richard D'Souza +5
The star formation histories (SFHs) of galactic stellar haloes offer crucial insights into the merger history of the galaxy and the effects of those mergers on their hosts. Such me…
Galaxies grow their bulges and black holes in diverse ways
Eric F. Bell, Antonela Monachesi, Benjamin Harmsen +5
Galaxies with Milky Way-like stellar masses have a wide range of bulge and black hole masses; in turn, these correlate with other properties such as star formation history. While m…
Characterizing dw1335-29, a recently discovered dwarf satellite of M83
Andreia Carrillo, Eric Bell, Jeremy Bailin +4
The number, distribution, and properties of dwarf satellites are crucial probes of the physics of galaxy formation at low masses and the response of satellite galaxies to the tidal…
Diverse Stellar Haloes in Nearby Milky Way-Mass Disc Galaxies
Benjamin Harmsen, Antonela Monachesi, Eric F. Bell +4
We have examined the resolved stellar populations at large galactocentric distances along the minor axis (from 10 kpc up to between 40 and 75 kpc), with limited major axis coverage…
