A revised view of the Canis Major stellar overdensity with DECam and Gaia: new evidence of a stellar warp of blue stars

Julio A. Carballo-Bello, David Martínez-Delgado, Jesús M. Corral-Santana +4

We present DECam imaging combined with Gaia DR2 data to study the Canis Major overdensity. The presence of the so-called Blue Plume stars in a low-pollution area of the color-magni…

Systematic search for tidal features around nearby galaxies: I. Enhanced SDSS imaging of the Local Volume

Gustavo Morales, David Martínez-Delgado, Eva K. Grebel +3

In hierarchical models of galaxy formation, stellar tidal streams are expected around most, if not all, galaxies. Although these features may provide useful diagnostics of the C…

The globular cluster NGC7492 and the Sagittarius tidal stream: together but unmixed

Julio A. Carballo-Bello, Jesús M. Corral-Santana, Márcio Catelan +7

We have derived from VIMOS spectroscopy the radial velocities for a sample of 71 stars selected from CFHT/Megacam photometry around the Galactic globular cluster NGC7492. In the re…
