Spectroscopic Analysis of Milky Way Outer Halo Satellites: Aquarius II and Boötes II

Spectroscopic Analysis of Milky Way Outer Halo Satellites: Aquarius II and Boötes II

In this paper, we present a chemical and kinematic analysis of two ultrafaint dwarf galaxies (UFDs), Aquarius II (Aqu II) and Boötes II (Boo II), using Magellan/IMACS spectroscopy. We present the largest sample of member stars for Boo II (12), and the largest sample of red giant branch members with...
