  • A kinematic study of the Andromeda dwarf spheroidal system 

    Collins, Michelle L. M., Scott C. Chapman, R. Michael Rich, Rodrigo A. Ibata, et al. 2013. "A kinematic study of the Andromeda dwarf spheroidal system."Astrophysical Journal 768(2):36.
    We present a homogeneous kinematic analysis of red giant branch stars within 18 of the 28 Andromeda dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies, obtained using the Keck I LRIS and Keck II DEIMOS spectrographs. Based on their g-i ...

  • The large-scale structure of the halo of the Andromeda Galaxy Part I: global stellar density, morphology and metallicity properties 

    Ibata, Rodrigo A., Geraint F. Lewis, Alan W. McConnachie, Nicolas F. Martin, et al. 2013. "The large-scale structure of the halo of the Andromeda Galaxy Part I: global stellar density, morphology and metallicity properties." The Astrophysical Journal780(2):128
    We present an analysis of the large-scale structure of the halo of the Andromeda galaxy, based on the Pan-Andromeda Archeological Survey (PAndAS), currently the most complete map of resolved stellar populations in any ...

  • PAndAS' cubs: discovery of two new dwarf galaxies in the surroundings of the Andromeda and Triangulum galaxies 

    Martin, Nicolas F., Alan W. McConnachie, Mike Irwin, Lawrence M. Widrow, et al. 2009. "PAndAS' cubs: discovery of two new dwarf galaxies in the surroundings of the Andromeda and Triangulum galaxies." The Astrophysical Journal 705(1):758.
    We present the discovery of two new dwarf galaxies, Andromeda XXI and Andromeda XXII, located in the surroundings of the Andromeda and Triangulum galaxies (M31 and M33). These discoveries stem from the first year data of ...

  • PAndAS' progeny: extending the M31 dwarf galaxy cabal 

    Richardson, Jenny C., Mike Irwin, Alan W. McConnachie, Nicolas F. Martin, et al. 2011. "PAndAS' progeny: extending the M31 dwarf galaxy cabal." The Astrophysical Journal 732 (2):76.
    We present the discovery of five new dwarf galaxies, Andromeda XXIII-XXVII, located in the outer halo of M31. These galaxies were found in the second year of data from the Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey (PAndAS) of ...
