A near-IR survey of luminous asymptotic giant branch stars in the satellites and stellar halo of M31

Jess M. Howell, Annette M. N. Ferguson, Olivia C. Jones +5

We investigate the dwarf spheroidal (dSph) satellites and stellar halo of M31 using near-infrared imaging from the Wide-Field Camera on the UKIRT 3.8 m telescope. Our homogeneous a…

Characterising the Globular Cluster Systems of Three Local Group Dwarf Galaxies: NGC6822, NGC147 and NGC185

Gracie McGill, Annette M. N. Ferguson, Dougal Mackey +8

We present deep HST photometry for 26 globular clusters (GCs) residing in three Local Group dwarf galaxies: the isolated dwarf irregular (dIrr) galaxy, NGC6822, and the M31 dwarf e…

Characterizing the disruption of Böotes III: a missing link in the Galactic halo?

Jaclyn Jensen, Daniel A. Boyea, Alan W. McConnachie +14

The Böotes III (Boo3) dwarf galaxy has long been suspected of being the progenitor of Styx, a ~50°-long stellar stream that was simultaneously discovered in the same region of sky.…

The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS). II. A Catalog of Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster

Laura Ferrarese, Patrick Cote, Lauren A. MacArthur +51

The Next Generation Virgo Cluster Survey (NGVS) is a deep, high resolution imaging campaign that used the 1 deg MegaCam instrument on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope to carr…

The primordial nature of the C-19 stellar stream

Kim A. Venn, Zhen Yuan, Nicolas F. Martin +32

Stellar streams, remnants of compact star systems stretched out by the tidal forces of the Milky Way, offer a unique way to study stellar populations that formed billions of years…
