3D motions in the Sculptor dwarf galaxy as a glimpse of a new era
D. Massari, M. A. Breddels, A. Helmi +3
The 3D motions of stars in small galaxies beyond our own are minute and yet they are crucial for our understanding of the nature of gravity and dark matter. Even for the dwarf gala…
The early days of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy
P. Jablonka, P. North, L. Mashonkina +11
We present the high resolution spectroscopic study of five -3.9<=[Fe/H]<=-2.5 stars in the Local Group dwarf spheroidal, Sculptor, thereby doubling the number of stars with compara…
VLT/FLAMES spectroscopy of red giant branch stars in the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy
B. Lemasle, T. de Boer, V. Hill +13
Fornax is one of the most massive dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the Local Group. The Fornax field star population is dominated by intermediate age stars but star formation was going…
Model comparison of the dark matter profiles of Fornax, Sculptor, Carina and Sextans
M. A. Breddels, A. Helmi
We use orbit based dynamical models to fit the 2nd and 4th moments of the line of sight velocity distributions of the Fornax, Sculptor, Carina and Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxies…
Orbit-based dynamical models of the Sculptor dSph galaxy
Maarten A. Breddels, A. Helmi, R. C. E. van den Bosch +2
We have developed spherically symmetric dynamical models of dwarf spheroidal galaxies using Schwarzschild's orbit superposition method. This type of modelling yields constraints bo…
A high resolution VLT/FLAMES study of individual stars in the centre of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy
B. Letarte, V. Hill, E. Tolstoy +13
For the first time we show the detailed late-stage chemical evolution history of small nearby dwarf spheroidal galaxy in the Local Group. We present the results of a high resolutio…
