Jun 10, 2013 · Segue 2, discovered in 2009 as part of the massive Sloan Digital Sky Survey, is one of the faintest known galaxies, with light output just 900 times that of the Sun.

Jun 13, 2013 · Known as Segue 2, it contains just 1,000 or so stars, and while this puny object, like most galaxies, is somewhat bulked up with invisible dark matter, that only adds another …

Apr 22, 2013 · Segue 2, discovered by Belokurov et al. (2009), is a galaxy with a luminosity of only 900 L_sun. We present Keck/DEIMOS spectroscopy of 25 members of Segue 2--a …

Mar 4, 2009 · We announce the discovery of a new Milky Way satellite Segue 2 found in the data of the Sloan Extension for Galactic Understanding and Exploration (SEGUE). We followed this …

Segue 2 is the least massive galaxy known. We identify Segue 2 as a galaxy rather than a star cluster based on the wide dispersion in [Fe/H] (from -2.85 to -1.33) among the member stars.
