31
Χαν ιά, August 9, 2004 Colour (metallicity) map of M31 Giant stream G1 clump fluff Northern spur Northern blob Plus other fainter structures... Eastern shelf Green Bank HI map Thilker et al 2004
32
Χαν ιά, August 9, 2004 What is the Origin of the Stellar Substructure at Large Radius in M31? ● satellite accretion as predicted by hierarchical galaxy formation theories? – one large system that has survived many orbits? – many smaller systems? – connection to known M31 satellites? ● warped/perturbed/flared outer disk? M31 is close enough (780 kpc) that radial velocities of individual RGB stars possible with DEIMOS (Keck-2) target CaII triplet in brightest giant stars (20.5 < i’ < 22) 0.31 Å/pix resolution, S/N~10 5-10 km/s velocity accuracy
33
Χαν ιά, August 9, 2004 NGC 205 Loop Progress to date: (sep ‘02, ‘03) spectra for ~15000 stars lying in 26 distinct fields target known substructure as well as the general halo and outer disk
34
Χαν ιά, August 9, 2004 Splat! ● Giant stream in process of disappearing! ● Providing metal- rich stars to M31 halo ● Inner M31 halo is not pristine... Ibata et al. (2004)
35
Χαν ιά, August 9, 2004 Conclusions New instruments/surveys allowing new rich view on halos Halos are no longer just seen in simulations! Dwarf galaxies place strong constraints on theory: (spatial distribution, ages, kinematics, chemistry) Interesting new results on halo stars from SDSS, HST and wide-field cameras: ubiquitous (red?) stellar halos? stellar halo/GC scaling relations? Substructure preponderant in inner regions of halos Much substructure at disk/halo transition region: some fraction formed by accretion?
