摘要:

我们报告发现了一个新的银河系矮球状星系在狮子座的数据确定斯隆数字巡天。狮子座V位于距离约180千秒差距,与另一个最近发现的狮子座IV相隔约3度。我们目前的后续成像从艾萨克牛顿望远镜和光谱从Hectochelle光纤摄谱仪在多镜望远镜。狮子座V的日心速度为173.4公里/秒,与狮子座IV的日心速度相差约40公里/秒。对运动学数据的一个简单解释是,这两个物体可能位于同一条流上,尽管隐含的轨道只是适度偏心(e = 0.2)

英文摘要:

We report the discovery of a new Milky Way dwarf spheroidal galaxy in the constellation of Leo identified in data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. Leo V lies at a distance of about 180 kpc, and is separated by about 3 degrees from another recent discovery, Leo IV. We present follow-up imaging from the Isaac Newton Telescope and spectroscopy from the Hectochelle fiber spectrograph at the Multiple Mirror Telescope. Leo V's heliocentric velocity is 173.4 km/s, which is offset by about 40 km/s from that of Leo IV. A simple interpretation of the kinematic data is that both objects may lie on the same stream, though the implied orbit is only modestly eccentric (e = 0.2)
