Kinematic study of the Leo II dwarf galaxy
Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)
We conducted a large spectroscopic survey of 336 red giants in the direction of the Leo II dwarf galaxy using Hectochelle on the Multiple Mirror Telescope, and we conclude that 175 of them are members based on their radial velocities and surface gravities.
Description
Of this set, 40 stars have never before been observed spectroscopically. The systemic velocity of the dwarf is 78.3+/-0.6km/s with a velocity dispersion of 7.4+/-0.4km/s.
We identify one star beyond the tidal radius of Leo II but find no signatures of uniform rotation, kinematic asymmetries, or streams. The stars show a strong metallicity gradient of -1.53+/-0.10dex/kpc and have a mean metallicity of -1.70+/-0.02dex.
