The Shape of the Milky Way Halo
The latest Sloan Digital Sky Survey data tracing the tidal stream from the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal (dSph) reveals a bifurcation in the distribution of debris. The branching is caused by the projection of the old trailing and young leading tidal arms of the Sagittarius dSph. The angular difference between the branches is a measure of the precession of the orbital plane and hence the aspheri...
متن کاملStar Streams in the Milky Way Halo
The last 10-20 years has seen a profound shift in views of how the Galaxy’s halo formed. The idea of a monolithic early collapse of a single system (Eggen, Lynden-Bell and Sandage 1962) has been challenged by observations at high redshift and by cosmological models of structure formation. These findings imply that we should see clear evidence of hierarchical formation processes in nearby galaxi...
متن کاملThe Present and Future Mass of the Milky Way Halo
A simple model for the Milky Way halo is presented. It has a flat rotation curve in the inner regions, but the density falls off sharply beyond an outer edge. This truncated, flat rotation curve (TF) model possesses a rich family of simple distribution functions which vary in velocity anisotropy. The model is used to estimate the total mass of the Milky Way halo using the latest data on the mot...
متن کاملThe Milky Way Dark Halo and the Lmc Disk
Stars and their kinematics provide one of the tools available for studies of the shapes of galaxies and their halos. In this review I focus on two specific applications: the shape of the Milky Way dark halo and the shape of the LMC disk. The former is constrained by a variety of observations, but an accurate determination of the axial ratio qDH remains elusive. A very flattened Milky Way dark h...
متن کاملInfall of Substructures onto a Milky Way-like Dark Halo
We analyse the dynamical properties of substructures in a high-resolution dark matter simulation of the formation of a Milky Way-like halo in a ΛCDM cosmology. Our goal is to shed light on the dynamical peculiarities of the Milky Way satellites. Our simulations show that about 1/3 of the subhalos have been accreted in groups. We quantify this clustering by measuring the alignment of the angular...
