Open full text 2 citations

Abstract

There are 9 dwarf spheroidal galaxies in the neighbourhood of the Galaxy. The last to be discovered is in Sagittarius (Ibata et al 1994), situated at a distance of 25 kpc and is interacting with the Galaxy. Its mass is ≥107 M⊙ making it perhaps the largest local dwarf spheroidal. The only other dwarf spheroidal known to contain a planetary nebula was Fornax (Danziger et al 1978).
