Turning the Tides on the Ultra-Faint Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies: Coma Berenices and Ursa Major
We present deep CFHT/MegaCam photometry of the ultra-faint Milky Way satellite galaxies: Coma Berenices (ComBer) and Ursa Major II (UMa II). These data extend to r ∼ 25, corresponding to 3 mag below the mainsequence turn-offs in these galaxies. We robustly calculate a total luminosity of MV = −3.8 ± 0.6 for ComBer and MV = −3.9 ± 0.5 for UMa II, in agreement with previous results and confirming...
متن کاملKinematics of Extremely Faint Dwarf Galaxies
Abstract. We present the results of deep, high velocity resolution (∼1.6 kms−1) Giant Meterwave Radio Telescope (GMRT) HI 21cm observations of extremely faint (MB > −12.5) dwarf irregular galaxies. We find that all of our sample galaxies show systematic large scale velocity gradients, unlike earlier studies which found chaotic velocity fields for such faint galaxies. For some of the sample gala...
متن کاملThe Formation of Ultra-Compact Dwarf Galaxies
Recent spectroscopic observations of galaxies in the Fornax-Cluster reveal nearly unresolved ‘star-like’ objects with red-shifts appropriate to the Fornax-Cluster. These objects have intrinsic sizes of ≈ 100 pc and absolute B-band magnitudes in the range −14 < MB < −11.5 mag and lower limits for the central surface brightness μB ∼ 23 mag/arcsec 2 (Phillipps et al. 2001), and so appear to consti...
متن کاملFaint Blue Galaxies and the Epoch of Dwarf-Galaxy Formation
Several independent lines of reasoning, both theoretical and observational, suggest that the very faint (B > 24) galaxies seen in deep images of the sky are small low-mass galaxies that experienced a short starburst at redshifts 0:5 < z < 1 and have since faded into low luminosity, low surface brightness objects. We examine this hypothesis in detail in order to determine whether a model incorpo...
متن کاملOn the Stellar Populations in Faint Red Galaxies in the Hubble Ultra Deep Field
We study the nature of faint, red-selected galaxies at z ∼ 2 − 3 using the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (HUDF) and Spitzer Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) photometry. Given the magnitude limit of the HST data, we detect candidate galaxies to HAB < 26 mag, probing lower-luminosity (lower mass) galaxies at these redshifts. We identify 32 galaxies satisfying the (J110 − H160)AB > 1.0 mag color selection, ...
