The formation of compact dwarf ellipticals through merging star clusters
F. Urrutia Zapata, M. Fellhauer, A. G. Alarcon Jara +2
In the last decades, extended old stellar clusters have been observed. These extended objects cover a large range in masses, from extended clusters or faint fuzzies to ultra compac…
Dynamical Histories of the Crater II and Hercules Dwarf Galaxies
Sal Wanying Fu, Joshua D. Simon, Alex G. Alarcón Jara
We investigate the possibility that the dwarf galaxies Crater II and Hercules have previously been tidally stripped by the Milky Way. We present Magellan/IMACS spectra of candidate…
A possible formation scenario for dwarf spheroidal galaxies - III. Adding star formation histories to the fiducial model
A. G. Alarcon Jara, M. Fellhauer, D. R. Matus Carillo +3
Dwarf spheroidal galaxies are regarded as the basic building blocks in the formation of larger galaxies and are believed to be the most dark matter dominated systems known in the U…
