	Sculptor (constellation) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sculptor is a minor southern constellation which was introduced by Nicolas Louis de Lacaille.
		He originally named it after a sculptor's studio, but the name was later shortened.
		It also contains the Sculptor System (the Sculptor Dwarf), a dwarf galaxy which is a member of the Local Group; and the Sculptor Group[1], the group of galaxies closest to the Local Group.

	Canberra Astronomical Society - Southern Cross - November 2001
		Sculptor (the sculptor) is a fairly large but obscure southern constellation whose brightest stars are of only about 4th magnitude.
		The Sculptor Dwarf - ESO 351-G30 (00 60, -33 42) First discovered photographically in 1938, this galaxy is a dwarf system belonging to the "Local Group" of galaxies which includes the Milky Way, the Andromeda galaxy, the Magellanic Clouds and a number of other dwarf systems.
		Sculptor is a great hunting ground for galaxies that range in brightness from bright and easy to extremely faint.

	Local Group
		The Milky Way's satellites include: the Large Magellanic Cloud, the Small Magellanic Cloud, the Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical, the Ursa Minor Dwarf, the Draco Dwarf, the Carina Dwarf, the Sextans Dwarf, the Sculptor Dwarf, the Fornax Dwarf, Leo I, and Leo II.
		The third-largest galaxy, the Triangulum Galaxy (M33), may or may not be an outlying gravitationally-bound companion of M31, but has itself probably the dwarf LGS 3 as a satellite.
		The other members of the Local Group, including the Antlia Dwarf and Wolf-Lundmark-Melotte Galaxy, fall outside the main subgroups and float alone in the gravitational seas between the giant group members.

	Our Galaxy - Our Satellite Galaxies
		The last eight dwarfs (small galaxies) are in the direction of the named constellation, but the stars of the constellations are in our own galaxy.
		Another dwarf galaxy, the farthest satellite galaxy, is the Leo I dwarf galaxy:
		These dwarf galaxies are beyond the view of the unaided eye, and though a telescope might be confused as a globular clusters.

	The Sculptor Group
		The Sculptor group is the nearest group of galaxies to the Local Group.
		ESO 407-18 (left) is an irregular dwarf galaxy which like NGC 55 is at the front of the Sculptor Group about 6 or 7 million light years from us.
		IC 1574 (right) is an irregular dwarf galaxy which is also at the back of this group.

	Chandra Cycle 5 Science Programs
		X-rays are ubiquitously found in young pre-main sequence stars of very low masses and Brown Dwarfs, but the observation of LP 944-20 (500 Myrs) supports the idea that X-ray emission evolves as the stars (or Brown Dwarfs) age, on an as yet unknown timescale.
		X-ray detections of brown dwarfs have yet been limited to spectral type M. The cool, dense neutral photospheres of L and T dwarfs should hamper magnetic activity.
		White dwarfs have possibly the best-understood disks, so symbiotic stars (SS), which are one of most recently identified classes of jet-producing objects, are promising observational targets.

	Sculptor Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		We present BV photometry of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy to V = 22.
		These data give evidence for a bimodality in Sculptor's metallicity distribution based on a discontinuity in the luminosities of horizontal branch stars and by the presence of two distinct red giant branch bumps.
		Variations in the global HB morphology of Sculptor can be explained by differences in the radial distribution of these two populations.

	The absolute proper motion and a membership survey of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy
		Using 26 plates taken over the course of more than half a century, we present proper motions and photometry for 1177 stars in the central region of the Sculptor dwarf spheroidal galaxy, down to a limiting magnitude of V~20.25 at the level of the horizontal branch.
		We determined an absolute proper motion for Sculptor, relative to background galaxies, of mu_alpha=+0.036+/-0.022arcsec/century and mu_delta=0.043+/-0.025arcsec/century after correcting for the LSR and peculiar solar motions.
		When combined with Sculptor's distance and radial velocity, this measurement shows the dwarf spheroidal to have a space velocity of roughly 220+/-125km/s.

	[No title]
		Studies of the neutral gas phase of dwarf galaxies allows the exploration of the effects of star formation on the ISM; energy input via stellar winds and supernovae (collectively termed ``feedback'') will be traceable via kinematic studies of the HI spectral line.
		This is one of the clearest examples of neutral gas outflow from a dwarf galaxy to date.
		Indeed, since dwarf galaxies are often dominated by single regions of star formation, they are more susceptible to strong variations in the radio continuum emission intensity than larger galaxies; the ratio of activity to disk density and gravity will govern the amount of disruption and blow-out that takes place.

	The Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy, SagDEG (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		This dwarf galaxy is called SagDEG (for Sagittarius Dwarf Elliptical Galaxy), or sometimes Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy; don't confuse it with another member, SagDIG (Sag.
		From its stellar contents, it is resembling other low surface brightness members of the local group such as the Sculptor dwarf galaxy, but it is so highly obscured that it was hidden up to the 1994 investigation.
		When SagDEG will be disrupted after the current encounter, M54 and the other at least three globulars of this dwarf (Arp 2, Terzan 7 and Terzan 8, which are all much fainter than M54) will be the "remnants", while the other stars will be spread over the galactic halo, or escape as intergalactic travelers.

		Typically dwarf spheroidals are thought to have formed all of their stars in old and intermediate-aged bursts, and to be devoid of gas today.
		Thus, perhaps Sculptor does not have H I. The image at right, of Sculptor Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy (the cluster in the center), shows that extensive high velocity clouds are all around the relgion and perhaps not associated directly with Sculptor.
		The brown dwarf itself is invisible, but it creates a visible disturbance in the light paths it passes through.

		Elemental abundances for 10 red giants in the Sculptor dwarf galaxy are presented based on VLT FLAMES/UVES fiber spectroscopy.
		These spectra were taken simultaneously with an additional 91 stars in Sculptor using the VLT FLAMES/GIRAFFE spectra, which reaches more stars but over smaller and discrete wavelength intervals.
		All abundances from UVES spectra are compared to each other, and to Galactic stars, and discussed in terms of nucleosynthesis and dwarf galaxy chemical evolution.
