Abstract:

AbstractWe present preliminary results from a proper motion study of the Carina dwarf spheroidal galaxy. Our proper motions show a scatter of ~1.1 mas yr−1 per Carina member star, and we determinate the mean ensemble motion to an accuracy of ~7 mas century−1. While this is a precise measurement of the relative proper motions of Carina members, our correction to an absolute frame is limited by the small number of measured QSOs in the field.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT I consider a sample of eight pressure-supported low-surface-brightness galaxies in terms of Milgrom’s modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND). These objects include seven nearby dwarf spheroidal galaxies – Sextans, Carina, Leo II, Sculptor, Draco, Leo I, Fornax, and the ultra-diffuse galaxy DF44. The objects are modelled as Milgromian isotropic isothermal spheres characterized by two parameters that are constrained by observations: the constant line-of-sight velocity dispersion and the central surface density. The velocity dispersion determines the total mass, and, with the implied mass-to-light ratio, the central surface brightness. This then specifies the radial run of surface brightness over the entire isothermal sphere. For these objects, the predicted radial distribution of surface brightness is shown to be entirely consistent with observations. This constitutes a success for MOND that is independent of the reduced dynamical mass.

Abstract:

Context. We present a large homogeneous set of stellar parameters and abundances across a broad range of metallicities, involving 13 classical dwarf spheroidal (dSph) and ultra-faint dSph (UFD) galaxies. In total, this study includes 380 stars in Fornax, Sagittarius, Sculptor, Sextans, Carina, Ursa Minor, Draco, Reticulum II, Bootes I, Ursa Major II, Leo I, Segue I, and Triangulum II. This sample represents the largest, homogeneous, high-resolution study of dSph galaxies to date. Aims. With our homogeneously derived catalog, we are able to search for similar and deviating trends across different galaxies. We investigate the mass dependence of the individual systems on the production of α-elements, but also try to shed light on the long-standing puzzle of the dominant production site of r-process elements. Methods. We used data from the Keck observatory archive and the ESO reduced archive to reanalyze stars from these 13 classical dSph and UFD galaxies. We automatized the step of obtaining stellar parameters, but ran a full spectrum synthesis (1D, local thermal equilibrium) to derive all abundances except for iron to which we applied nonlocal thermodynamic equilibrium corrections where possible. Results. The homogenized set of abundances yielded the unique possibility of deriving a relation between the onset of type Ia supernovae and the stellar mass of the galaxy. Furthermore, we derived a formula to estimate the evolution of α-elements. This reveals a universal relation of these systems across a large range in mass. Finally, we show that between stellar masses of 2.1 × 107 M⊙ and 2.9 × 105 M⊙, there is no dependence of the production of heavy r-process elements on the stellar mass of the galaxy. Conclusions. Placing all abundances consistently on the same scale is crucial to answering questions about the chemical history of galaxies. By homogeneously analyzing Ba and Eu in the 13 systems, we have traced the onset of the s-process and found it to increase with metallicity as a function of the galaxy’s stellar mass. Moreover, the r-process material correlates with the α-elements indicating some coproduction of these, which in turn would point toward rare core-collapse supernovae rather than binary neutron star mergers as a host for the r-process at low [Fe/H] in the investigated dSph systems.

Abstract:

Dwarf Spheroidal (dSph) galaxies are the faintest baryonic systems recognized as galaxies. Understanding the structure and stellar populations of these systems is critical for the modelling of their formation and evolution, and by extension, for understanding the general problem of galaxy formation and evolution. Further, as dSphs are the only available probes of the distant halo of the Galaxy, understanding their structure is a crucial step in the study of the gravitational potential of the halo and the mass of the Galaxy. I will not attempt to review fully all current topics of dSph research. Instead, I will concentrate specifically on those issues that are directly related (as I see it) to the overall topic of wide-field imaging. Recent reviews covering other aspects of dSph research have been written by DaCosta (1988, 1992) and Pryor (1992).

There are 9 dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the neighbourhood of the Galaxy. The last to be discovered is in Sagittarius (Ibata et al 1994), situated at a distance of 25 kpc and is interacting with the Galaxy. Its mass is ≥107 M⊙ making it perhaps the largest local dwarf spheroidal. The only other dwarf spheroidal known to contain a planetary nebula was Fornax (Danziger et al 1978).

Abstract:

AbstractDwarf galaxies are crucial to understand the formation and evolution of galaxies, since they constitute the most abundant galaxy population. Abundance ratios and their variations due to star formation and inflow/outflow of gas are key constraints to chemical evolution models. The determination of these abundances in the dwarf galaxies of the Local Universe is thus of extreme importance. NGC 185 is one of the four brightest dwarf companions of M31, but unlike the other three it has an important content of gas and dust. Interestingly enough, in an optical survey of bright nearby galaxies NGC 185 was classified as a Seyfert galaxy based on its integrated emission-line ratios in the nuclear regions. However, although its emission lines formally place it in the category of Seyfert it is probable that this galaxy does not contain a genuine active nucleus. In this contribution, we resume, firstly, our results of an empirical study of the galaxy, on which we characterise its emission-line population and obtain planetary nebulae abundance ratios (Gonçalves et al. 2012). And, secondly, we discuss our attempt to identify the possible ionization mechanisms for NGC 185 enlighting the controversial classification of this galaxy dwarf spheroidal (dSph) as well as Seyfert, via stellar population synthesis and chemical evolution modelling (Martins et al. 2011).

Abstract:

Context. It is of broad interest for galaxy formation theory to carry out a full inventory of the numbers and properties of dwarf galaxies, both satellite and isolated, in the Local Volume. Aims. Ultra-deep imaging in wide areas of the sky with small amateur telescopes can help to complete the census of these hitherto unknown low-surface-brightness galaxies, which cannot be detected by the current resolved stellar population and HI surveys. We report the discovery of Donatiello I, a dwarf spheroidal galaxy located one degree from the star Mirach (β And) in a deep image taken with an amateur telescope. Methods. The color-magnitude diagram (CMD) obtained from follow-up observations obtained with the Gran Telescopio Canarias (La Palma, Spain) reveals that this system is beyond the local group and is mainly composed of old stars. The absence of young stars and HI emission in the ALFALFA survey is typical of quenched dwarf galaxies. Our photometry suggests a distance modulus for this galaxy of (m − M) = 27.6 ± 0.2 (3.3 Mpc), although this distance cannot yet be established securely owing to the crowding effects in our CMD. At this distance, the absolute magnitude (MV = −8.3), surface brightness (μV = 26.5 mag arcsec−2), and stellar content of Donatiello I are similar to the “classical” Milky Way companions Draco or Ursa Minor. Results. The projected position and distance of Donatiello I are consistent with this object being a dwarf satellite of the closest S0-type galaxy NGC 404 (“Mirach’s Ghost”). Alternatively, it could be one of the most isolated quenched dwarf galaxies reported so far behind the Andromeda galaxy.
