The PAndAS view of the Andromeda satellite system - II. Detailed properties of 23 M31 dwarf spheroidal galaxies

Nicolas F. Martin, Rodrigo A. Ibata, Geraint F. Lewis +15

We present a comprehensive analysis of the structural properties and luminosities of the 23 dwarf spheroidal galaxies that fall within the footprint of the Pan-Andromeda Archaeolog…

A Synoptic Map of Halo Substructures from the Pan-STARRS1 3π Survey

Edouard J. Bernard, Annette M. N. Ferguson, Edward F. Schlafly +18

We present a panoramic map of the entire Milky Way halo north of dec~-30 degrees (~30,000 deg^2), constructed by applying the matched-filter technique to the Pan-STARRS1 3Pi Survey…

The elusive stellar halo of the Triangulum Galaxy

B. McMonigal, G. F. Lewis, B. J. Brewer +7

The stellar halos of large galaxies represent a vital probe of the processes of galaxy evolution. They are the remnants of the initial bouts of star formation during the collapse o…

Substructure and Tidal Streams in the Andromeda Galaxy and its Satellites

Annette M. N. Ferguson, A. D. Mackey

Tidal streams from existing and destroyed satellite galaxies populate the outer regions of the Andromeda galaxy (M31). This inhomogeneous debris can be studied without many of the…

Major Substructure in the M31 Outer Halo: Distances and Metallicities along the Giant Stellar Stream

Anthony R. Conn, Brendan McMonigal, Nicholas F. Bate +9

We present a renewed look at M31's Giant Stellar Stream along with the nearby structures Stream C and Stream D, exploiting a new algorithm capable of fitting to the red giant branc…
