متن کاملStar Formation History of the Sgr dSph
The main characteristics of a wide photometric survey of the Sgr dwarf spheroidal galaxy are shortly presented. V and I photometry has been obtained for ∼ 90000 stars toward Sgr and for ∼ 9000 stars in a region devoid of Sgr stars (for decontamination purposes). The full potential of this large database is far from being completely explored. Here we present only preliminary results from the ana...
متن کاملStellar populations in the Carina dSph galaxy
The small and elusive Carina dSph still presents many open questions concerning its stellar populations and dynamical evolution. It presents a unique star formation history, with well separated episodes over a time of ∼10 Gyr. However, the complex star formation history does not seem to have caused a strong chemical evolution of its stellar content. Moreover, the occurrence of extra-tidal stars...
متن کاملDark Matter Signals from Draco and Willman 1: Prospects for MAGIC II and CTA
The next generation of ground-based Imaging Air Cherenkov Telescopes will play an important role in indirect dark matter searches. In this article, we consider two particularly promising candidate sources for dark matter annihilation signals, the nearby dwarf galaxies Draco and Willman 1, and study the prospects of detecting such a signal for the soon-operating MAGIC II telescope system as well...
متن کاملWhiting 1 : the youngest globular cluster associated with the Sgr dSph ⋆ , ⋆ ⋆
Context. Recently, Carraro (2005) drew attention to the remarkable star cluster Whiting 1 by showing that it lies about 40 kpc from the Sun and is therefore unquestionably a member of the Galactic halo (b=-60.6 deg.). Its Color Magnitude Diagram (CMD) indicated that Whiting 1 is very young (∼5 Gyrs) for a globular cluster. It is very likely that Whiting 1 originated in a dwarf galaxy that has s...
