HST/ACS photometry of KKH22 and KKH34

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present observations with the Advanced Camera for Surveys on the Hubble Space Telescope of the nearby dwarf spheroidal galaxy KKH 22 = LEDA 2807114 in the vicinity of massive spiral galaxy IC 342.

Description

We derived its distance of 3.12+/-0.19Mpc using the Tip of Red Giant Branch method. We also use the 6-m BTA spectroscopy to measure a heliocentric radial velocity of globular cluster in KKH 22 to be +30+/-10km/s.

The dSph galaxy KKH 22 has the V-band absolute magnitude of -12.19mag and the central surface brightness {mu}_v,0_=24.1mag/arcsec^2^. Both the velocity and the distance of KKH 22 are consistent with the dSph galaxy being gravitationally bound to IC 342. Another nearby dIr galaxy, KKH 34, with a low heliocentric velocity of +106km/s has the TRGB distance of 7.28+/-0.36Mpc residing in the background respect to the IC 342 group.

KKH 34 has surprisinly high negative peculiar velocity of -236+/-26km/s.
