Stability of Satellite Planes in M31 II: Effects of the Dark Subhalo Population

Nuwanthika Fernando, Veronica Arias, Geraint F. Lewis +2

The planar arrangement of nearly half the satellite galaxies of M31 has been a source of mystery and speculation since it was discovered. With a growing number of other host galaxi…

Tracing the stellar component of low surface brightness Milky Way Dwarf Galaxies to their outskirts I: Sextans

L. Cicuendez, G. Battaglia, M. Irwin +12

We present results from deep and very spatially extended CTIO/DECam and photometry (reaching out to 2 mag below the oldest MSTO and covering 20 deg) aroun…

On the Stability of Satellite Planes I: Effects of Mass, Velocity, Halo Shape and Alignment

Nuwanthika Fernando, Veronica Arias, Magda Guglielmo +3

The recently discovered vast thin plane of dwarf satellites orbiting the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) adds to the mystery of the small scale distribution of the Local Group's galaxy popu…

NGC 147, NGC 185 and CassII: a genetic approach to orbital properties, star formation and tidal debris

Veronica Arias, Magda Guglielmo, Nuwanthika Fernando +9

NGC147, NGC185 and CassiopeiaII (CassII) have similar positions in the sky, distances and measured line of sight velocities. This proximity in phase space suggests that these three…

A thousand shadows of Andromeda: rotating planes of satellites in the Millennium-II cosmological simulation

Rodrigo A. Ibata, Neil G. Ibata, Geraint F. Lewis +5

In a recent contribution, Bahl \& Baumgardt investigated the incidence of planar alignments of satellite galaxies in the Millennium-II simulation, and concluded that vast thin plan…
