The Stellar Content and Distance of UGC 4483
A. E. Dolphin, L. Makarova, I. D. Karachentsev +7
We present HST/WFPC2 observations of UGC 4483, an irregular galaxy in the M81/NGC 2403 complex. Stellar photometry was carried out with HSTphot, and is complete to V ~ 26.0 and I ~…
Identification of the donor in GRS 1915+105
J. Greiner, M. J. McCaughrean, J. G. Cuby +2
We report on the results of medium-resolution spectroscopy of GRS 1915+105 in the H and K band using the 8m VLT at ESO. We clearly identify absorption bandheads from CO12 and CO13.…
The brightness of SN 1991T and the uniformity of decline-rate and colour corrected absolute magnitudes of supernovae Ia
T. Richtler, J. B. Jensen, J. Tonry +2
We present a distance to NGC 4527, the host galaxy of the type Ia SN 1991T, measured by surface brightness fluctuations. This supernova has been labelled ``peculiar'' both on the g…
Globular Clusters as Probes of the Virgo gE NGC 4472
Terry Bridges, Keith Ashman, Mike Beasley +4
We present radial velocities for 144 globular clusters around the Virgo gE NGC 4472 (M49), and ages and metallicities from co-added spectra of 131 clusters. We confirm our earlier…
Viscous cosmologies in scalar-tensor theories for Kasner type metrics
M. Cataldo, S. del Campo, P. Salgado
In a viscous Bianchi type I metric of the Kasner form, it is well known that it is not possible to describe an anisotropic physical model of the universe, which satisfies the secon…
Dynamical Constraints on the Formation of NGC 4472 and Its Globular Clusters
Stephen E. Zepf, Michael A. Beasley, Terry J. Bridges +4
We present new radial velocities for 87 globular clusters around the elliptical galaxy NGC 4472, and combine these with our previously published data to create a data set of veloci…
