Structure and Population of the Andromeda Stellar Halo from a Subaru/suprime-cam Survey

We present a photometric survey of the stellar halo of the nearest giant spiral galaxy, Andromeda (M31), using Suprime-Cam on the Subaru Telescope. A detailed analysis of V I color-magnitude diagrams of the resolved stellar population is used to measure properties such as line-of-sight distance, surface brightness, metallicity, and age, and these are used to isolate and characterize different c...

Subaru Suprime-Cam Weak Lensing Survey over 33 deg

Under the currently popular CDM model, mass plays the major role in evolution of large scale structure of the universe. In order to examine the paradigm based on observations, it would be ideal to use purely mass selected object catalog. Weak lensing surveys enable a blind search of cluster scale objects, and thus could provide such catalogs. We are working on a weak lensing survey using Subaru...

A Suprime - Cam study of the stellar population of Ursa Major I dwarf spheroidal galaxy ⋆

We present deep and wide V, I CCD photometry of Ursa Major I (UMa I) dwarf spheroidal galaxy (dSph) in Local Group. The images of the galaxy were taken by Subaru/Suprime-Cam wide field camera, covering a field of 34 ′ × 27 ′ located at the centre of the galaxy. Colour-magnitude diagram (CMD) of the UMa I dSph shows a steep and narrow red giant branch (RGB), blue and red horizontal branch (HB), ...

Internal Kinematics of the Andromeda Ii Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy

The High Resolution Echelle Spectrometer on the Keck I telescope has been used to measure nine radial velocities having a median precision of ' 2 km s−1 for seven red giants belonging to the isolated dwarf spheroidal galaxy Andromeda II (And II). We find a weighted mean radial velocity of vr = –188±3 km s−1 and a central velocity dispersion of σ0 = 9.3 −2.6 km s −1. There may be evidence for a ...

A Subaru/suprime-cam Survey of M31’s Spheroid along the South-east Minor Axis

We have used Suprime-Cam on the Subaru Telescope to conduct a V and I-band imaging survey of fields sampling the spheroid of the Andromeda galaxy along its south-east minor axis. Our photometric data are deep enough to resolve stars down to the red clump. Based on a large and reliable sample of red giant stars available from this deep wide-field imager, we have derived metallicity distributions...
