The Extended Stellar Distribution in the Outskirts of the Ursa Minor Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
Kyosuke S. Sato, Sakurako Okamoto, Masafumi Yagi +7
We discover an extended distribution of main-sequence (MS) stars along the minor axis of the Ursa Minor (UMi) dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph). This study is enabled by deep, wide Su…
The Star Formation and Chemical Evolution Histories of Ursa Minor Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy
Kyosuke S. Sato, Yutaka Komiyama, Sakurako Okamoto +8
We derive the star formation history (SFH) and chemical evolution history (CEH) of the Ursa Minor (UMi) dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph). We detect two distinct stellar populations t…
Simultaneous Formation of the Andromeda Giant Southern Stream and the Substructures in the Andromeda Halo
Misa Yamaguchi, Masao Mori, Takanobu Kirihara +4
We investigate a minor merger event in M31 that simultaneously forms the Andromeda Giant Southern Stream (AGSS), Eastern Extent (EE), North-Eastern Shelf (NES), and Western Shel (W…
The structure of the stellar halo of the Andromeda galaxy explored with the NB515 for Subaru/HSC. I.: New Insights on the stellar halo up to 120 kpc
Itsuki Ogami, Mikito Tanaka, Yutaka Komiyama +16
We analyse the M31 halo and its substructure within a projected radius of 120 kpc using a combination of Subaru/HSC and CFHT/MegaCam - \& -…
Final results for mapping the Milky Way's stellar halo with blue horizontal-branch stars selected from the Subaru Hyper Supreme-Cam Survey
Tetsuya Fukushima, Masashi Chiba, Mikito Tanaka +7
We select blue-horizontal branch stars (BHBs) from the internal data release of the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program to reveal the global structure of the Milky Way (MW)…
