Characterising the Globular Cluster Systems of Three Local Group Dwarf Galaxies: NGC6822, NGC147 and NGC185

Gracie McGill, Annette M. N. Ferguson, Dougal Mackey +8

We present deep HST photometry for 26 globular clusters (GCs) residing in three Local Group dwarf galaxies: the isolated dwarf irregular (dIrr) galaxy, NGC6822, and the M31 dwarf e…

Accreted Globular Clusters and Horizontal Branch Morphology in the Outer Halo of M31

Gracie McGill, Annette M. N. Ferguson, Dougal Mackey +7

M31 hosts a rich population of outer halo ( kpc) globular clusters (GCs), many of which show strong evidence for spatial and/or kinematical associations with la…

Two major accretion epochs in M31 from two distinct populations of globular clusters

Dougal Mackey, Geraint F. Lewis, Brendon J. Brewer +12

Large galaxies grow through the accumulation of dwarf galaxies. In principle it is possible to trace this growth history using the properties of a galaxy's stellar halo. Previous i…

The large-scale structure of the halo of the Andromeda galaxy II. Hierarchical structure in the Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey

Alan W. McConnachie, Rodrigo Ibata, Nicolas Martin +29

The Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey is a survey of square degrees centered on the Andromeda (M31) and Triangulum (M33) galaxies that has provided the most extensive pano…

The outer halo globular cluster system of M31 - III. Relationship to the stellar halo

Dougal Mackey, Annette Ferguson, Avon Huxor +10

We utilise the final catalogue from the Pan-Andromeda Archaeological Survey to investigate the links between the globular cluster system and field halo in M31 at projected radii $R…

SDSS J122958.84+000138.0: A Compact, Optically red galaxy

Sanjaya Paudel, Thorsten Lisker, Avon P. Huxor +1

We report a new compact galaxy, SDSS J122958.84+000138.0 (SDSS J1229+0001), which has unique morphological and stellar population properties that are rare in observations of the ne…
