Journal ArticleDOI
The distribution of low-mass stars in the Galactic disc
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify the complex interdependence of stellar binarity, the stellar mass-luminosity relation, the mass function, the colour-magnitude relation and the Galactic disc structure, all of which must be understood when analysing star-count data and stellar luminosity functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
A dwarf satellite galaxy in Sagittarius
TL;DR: The Sagittarius dwarf galaxy as mentioned in this paper is an extended group of comoving stars in the direction of the Galactic Centre, which is interpreted as belonging to a dwarf galaxy that is closer to our own Galaxy than any other yet known.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
A Universal Mass Profile for Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxies
Matthew G. Walker,Mario Mateo,Edward W. Olszewski,Jorge Peñarrubia,N. Wyn Evans,Gerard Gilmore +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply the Jeans equation to estimate masses for eight of the brightest dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxies, and derive a simple analytic formula that estimates M(r half) accurately with respect to results from the full Jeans analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mass distribution in the galactic disc -II. Determination of the surface mass density of the galactic disc near the Sun.
Konrad Kuijken,Gerard Gilmore +1 more
TL;DR: Les donnees photometriques et spectroscopiques pour un echantillon de naines K en direction du pole galactique sud sont analysees en utilisant la technique de modelisation des fonctions de distribution decrite dans l'article I des memes auteurs (1989, Mon. Not. R. astr. Soc., 239).
