Abstract (from CDS):

We attempt to find a progenitor for the ultrafaint object Segue 1 under the assumption that it formed as a dark matter free star cluster in the past. We look for orbits, using the elongation of Segue 1 on the sky as a tracer of its path. Those orbits are followed backwards in time to find the starting points of our N-body simulations. The successful orbit, with which we can reproduce Segue 1 has a proper motion of µα=-0.19 mas/yr and µδ=-1.9 mas/yr, placing Segue 1 near its apogalacticon today. Our best-fitting model has an initial mass of 6224 M☉ and an initial scalelength of 5.75 pc.
