The phase-space distribution of the M 81 satellite system

The spatial distribution of dwarf galaxies around their host galaxies is a critical test for the standard model of cosmology because it probes the dynamics of dark matter halos and is independent of the internal baryonic processes of galaxies. Comoving pla ...

Gaia Data Release 3: The extragalactic content

Shuangqing Liao

The Gaia Galactic survey mission is designed and optimized to obtain astrometry, photometry, and spectroscopy of nearly two billion stars in our Galaxy. Yet as an all-sky multi-epoch survey, Gaia also observes several million extragalactic objects down to ...

A possible dwarf galaxy satellite-of-satellite problem in ?CDM

Yves Revaz, Nick Heesters

Dark matter clusters on all scales, and it is therefore expected that even substructure should host its own substructure. Using the Extragalactic Distance Database, we searched for dwarf-galaxy satellites of dwarf galaxies, that is, satellite-of-satellite ...

A stellar stream remnant of a globular cluster below the metallicity floor

Pascale Jablonka, Carmela Lardo

Stellar ejecta gradually enrich the gas out of which subsequent stars form, making the least chemically enriched stellar systems direct fossils of structures formed in the early Universe(1). Although a few hundred stars with metal content below 1,000th of ...

Euclid: Searching for pair-instability supernovae with the Deep Survey

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Giovanni Longo, Yi Wang, Richard Massey

Pair-instability supernovae are theorized supernovae that have not yet been observationally confirmed. They are predicted to exist in low-metallicity environments. Because overall metallicity becomes lower at higher redshifts, deep near-infrared transient ...

The accreted nuclear clusters of the Milky Way

Carmela Lardo

A number of the massive clusters in the halo, bulge, and disc of the Galaxy are not genuine globular clusters (GCs) but instead are different beasts altogether. They are the remnant nuclear star clusters (NSCs) of ancient galaxies since accreted by the Mil ...

Photometric characterization of multiple populations in star clusters: the impact of the first dredge-up

Carmela Lardo

The existence of star-to-star light-element abundance variations (multiple populations, MPs) in massive Galactic and extragalactic star clusters older than about 2 Gyr is by now well established. Photometry of red giant, branch (RGB) stars has been and sti ...

Homogeneity in the early chemical evolution of the Sextans dwarf spheroidal galaxy

Pascale Jablonka, Pierre North, Carmela Lardo, Romain Ely Roland Lucchesi

We present the high-resolution spectroscopic analysis of two new extremely metal-poor star (EMPS) candidates in the dwarf spheroidal galaxy Sextans. These targets were preselected from medium-resolution spectra centered around the CaII triplet in the near- ...

Very-high-energy gamma-ray observations of the Type Ia Supernova SN 2014J with the MAGIC telescopes

Thomas Günther Bretz

Context. In this work we present data from observations with the MAGIC telescopes of SN 2014J detected on January 21 2014, the closest Type Ia supernova since Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes started to operate. Aims. We aim to probe the possibility of ver ...

Strong Lens Time Delay Challenge. Ii. Results Of Tdc1

Frédéric Courbin, Georges Meylan, Malte Tewes, Vivien François Bonvin

We present the results of the first strong lens time delay challenge. The motivation, experimental design, and entry level challenge are described in a companion paper. This paper presents the main challenge, TDC1, which consisted of analyzing thousands of ...
