How can we trace the kinematics? • radio observations • planetary nebulae • globular clusters dwarf galaxies Nearby Dwarf Galaxies 14 - 18 September 2009, SAO, Russia
Probing dark matter halos of galaxies with their satellites 1.5 - 2 satellites per host galaxy • Zaritsky (1993): 45primaries– 69satellites • Kitt Peak 2.3 m • Sales & Lambas (2004): 1498 primaries – 3079satellites • 2dFGRS 3.9 m • T. Breinerd(2004) 3 samples: 1351primaries – 2084satellites, • 948 primaries – 1294satellites, • 400primaries – 658 satellites • SDSS 2.5 m Nearby Dwarf Galaxies 14 - 18 September 2009, SAO, Russia
Less primaries bigger telescope more satellites Nearby Dwarf Galaxies 14 - 18 September 2009, SAO, Russia
Selection criteria • isolated • late type spirals • already known have at least • 4 satellites Nearby Dwarf Galaxies 14 - 18 September 2009, SAO, Russia
