Duncan A. Forbes, Pavel Kroupa, Manuel Metz, Lee Spitler
TL;DR
This paper explores the relationship between globular clusters and dwarf satellite galaxies orbiting the Milky Way using an interactive 3D model to enhance understanding of their spatial and gravitational connections.
Contribution
It introduces an interactive 3D model to analyze and visualize the spatial relationships between globular clusters and dwarf satellite galaxies around the Milky Way.
Findings
Globular clusters and dwarf galaxies are gravitationally bound to the Milky Way.
The interactive model reveals spatial distributions and potential interactions.
The study enhances understanding of the Milky Way's satellite system.
Abstract
Our Milky Way galaxy is host to a number of companions. These companions are gravitationally bound to the Milky Way and are stellar systems in their own right. They include a population of some 30 dwarf satellite galaxies (DSGs) and about 150 globular clusters (GCs). Here we discuss the relationship between GCs and DSGs using an interactive 3D model of the Milky Way.
