Journal ArticleDOI

Velocity dispersion profiles of seven dwarf spheroidal galaxies

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured 8394 line-of-sight velocities (± 2.5 km s-1) for 6804 stars from high-resolution spectra obtained at the Magellan and MMT telescopes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nonparametric Least Squares Estimation of a Multivariate Convex Regression Function

TL;DR: In this paper, the consistency of the least square estimator of a convex regression function when the predictor is multidimensional was investigated. But the consistency was not investigated in the context of convex and componentwise nonincreasing regression.
Journal ArticleDOI

On risk bounds in isotonic and other shape restricted regression problems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the problem of estimating an unknown unknown estimator from noisy observations under the constraint that the estimator belongs to certain convex polyhedral cones in a polygonal space.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clean kinematic samples in dwarf spheroidals: an algorithm for evaluating membership and estimating distribution parameters when contamination is present

TL;DR: An EM algorithm is tailored to operate on spectroscopic samples obtained with the Michigan-MIKE Fiber System as part of the Magellan survey of stellar radial velocities in nearby dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies, and returns accurate parameter estimates much more reliably than conventional methods of contaminant removal.
Journal ArticleDOI

Uncloaking globular clusters in the inner Galaxy

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a well defined and reasonably homogeneous photometric database for 25 of the brightest Galactic globular clusters located in the direction of the inner Galaxy, in the B, V, and I bands using the Magellan 6.5 m Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope.
