TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 5 photometry and spectroscopy to study a tidal stream that extends over 50 degrees in the North Galactic Cap.
Journal ArticleDOI
Selecting Sagittarius: Identification and Chemical Characterization of the Sagittarius Stream
E. A. Hyde,E. A. Hyde,Stefan Keller,Daniel B. Zucker,Daniel B. Zucker,Rodrigo A. Ibata,Arnaud Siebert,Geraint F. Lewis,Jorge Peñarrubia,Mike Irwin,Gerard Gilmore,Richard R. Lane,Andreas Koch,Anthony R. Conn,Foivos I. Diakogiannis,Sarah L. Martell +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new mapping of the Sagittarius stream is presented, which is consistent with the scenario of tidal disruption from a progenitor dwarf galaxy that possessed an internal metallicity gradient.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, a genetic algorithm was used to explore the different orbits that these satellites can have and select six sets of orbits that could best explain the observational features of the NGC147, NGC185 and CassII satellites.
