New Near-Infrared light-curve templates for RR Lyrae variables
V. F. Braga, P. B. Stetson, G. Bono +34
We provide homogeneous optical (UBVRI) and near-infrared (JHK) time series photometry for 254 cluster (omega Cen, M4) and field RR Lyrae (RRL) variables. We ended up with more than…
LSST Cadence Optimization White Paper in Support of Observations of Unresolved Tidal Stellar Streams in Galaxies beyond the Local Group
Seppo Laine, David Martinez-Delgado, Ignacio Trujillo +11
Deep observations of faint surface brightness stellar tidal streams in external galaxies with LSST are addressed in this White Paper contribution. We propose using the Wide--Fast--…
A machine--vision method for automatic classification of stellar halo substructure
David Hendel, Kathryn V. Johnston, Rohit K. Patra +1
Tidal debris structures formed from disrupted satellites contain important clues about the assembly histories of galaxies. To date, studies of these structures have been hampered b…
Metal Mixing and Ejection in Dwarf Galaxies is Dependent on Nucleosynthetic Source
Andrew Emerick, Greg L. Bryan, Mordecai-Mark Mac Low +3
Using a high resolution simulation of an isolated dwarf galaxy, accounting for multi-channel stellar feedback and chemical evolution on a star-by-star basis, we investigate how eac…
SMHASH: A new mid-infrared RR Lyrae distance determination for the Local Group dwarf spheroidal galaxy Sculptor
Alessia Garofalo, Victoria Scowcroft, Gisella Clementini +12
We present a new distance estimation for the Milky Way dwarf spheroidal satellite Sculptor obtained from multi-epoch mid-infrared observations of RR Lyrae stars. The 3.6 μm observa…
Footprints of the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy in the data set
Chervin F. P. Laporte, Ivan Minchev, Kathryn V. Johnston +1
We analyse an N-body simulation of the interaction of the Milky Way (MW) with a Sagittarius-like dSph (Sgr), looking for signatures which may be attributed to its orbital history i…
