Boötes II ReBoöted: An MMT/MegaCam Study of an Ultrafaint Milky Way Satellite

Boötes II ReBoöted: An MMT/MegaCam Study of an Ultrafaint Milky Way Satellite

We present MMT/Megacam imaging in Sloan g and r of the extremely low luminosity Boötes II Milky Way companion. We use a bootstrap approach to perform robust measurements of, and to calculate uncertainties on, Boötes II's distance, luminosity, size, and morphology. Comparisons with theoretical isochrones and empirical globular cluster fiducials …
