S tructure ofGalaxies
Why care about stellar halos? Laboratory to test hierarchical galaxy formation –Tidal debris of merging galaxies survive for several Gyrs in the halo since the dynamical timescale is long there –Orbit of stream structure strong constraint for the gravitational potential of the galaxy –How frequent do merging events occur?

HSC M31 Halo Ultimate Imaging Survey HSC can image as deep as below HB/RC in 1 hour under moderate seeing condition (~0”.7) 81 HSC (2deg case) pointings are required to cover 254 sqrdeg (x2 the field size of Ibata et al survey) Total: 20 nights required –2 color bands (V, I)
With DDO51 filter, M31 RGB stars are easily discriminated from Galactic dwarf stars. DDO51 filter giants dwarfs giants dwarfs
Toward Nearby Groups Similar investigation can be applied for galaxies in nearby groups. HSC is suitable for such observations; –1.5deg corresponds to 5Mpc –TRBG ~ 24 mag, HB ~ 28 5Mpc Structure of nearby galaxies (M31 to nearby groups) –More sample galaxies –Dependence on morphology –Dependence on environment LG Sculpter Maffei M81 Canes1 N5128 5Mpc
T he Galaxy
“Field of Streams” in SDSS data (Belokurov+ 2006) SDSS
Tidal Structure in the Galactic Halo Palomer 5: tidally elongated GC (extended over 10 (Odenkirchen+ 2003) NGC5466: another elongated GC (extended over 4 (Belokurov+ 2006) Stream structures constrain the gravitational potential of the Galaxy SDSS leading trailing SDSS Odenkirchen Belokurov HSC probe the Galactic halo in deep (beyond 100kpc) for wide area
RR Lyrae ~ Galactic structure ~ Vivas & Zinn (2006): QUEST (~400deg 2 ) Sesar et al. (2007): SDSS (~300deg 2 ) RR Lyrae: old stellar population (~>8Gyr) Galactic halo (sub)structure large amplitude (~ mag) and rapid (T= days) variable stars SDSS, QUEST can not effectively detect variability of RR Lyrae at the outermost region of our Galaxy (R>100kpc). 4 RR Lyrae candidates at R>150kpc in the SXDF (~1deg 2, Morokuma 2007): 10 HSC: m~26mag, Δt:any, ~100deg 2 ~500 RR Lyrae at R>100kpc distance [kpc] density [kpc -3 ]

Ultra Faint Dwarf Galaxies SDSS: discoveries of Milky Way companion dwarf “galaxies” comparable or even fainter than globular clusters! –“they might be just the first of a vast population of ultra- faint dwarf galaxies surrounding the Milky Way system that is yet to be discovered” (van den Bergh) Belokurov Globular Clusters SDSS
