A new population of extended, luminous star clusters in the halo of M31
A. P. Huxor, N. R. Tanvir, M. J. Irwin +5
We present three new clusters discovered in the halo of M31 which, although having globular-like colours and luminosities,have an unusually large half-light radii, ~30 pc. They lie…
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: the local E+A galaxy population
Chris Blake, Michael Pracy, Warrick Couch +27
We select a sample of low-redshift (z ~ 0.1) E+A galaxies from the 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS). The spectra of these objects are defined by strong hydrogen Balmer absorptio…
Calibrating Photometric Redshifts of Luminous Red Galaxies
Nikhil Padmanabhan, Tamas Budavari, David J. Schlegel +20
We discuss the construction of a photometric redshift catalogue of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), emphasizing the principal steps necessary…
Newcomers Meet the Intracluster Medium in the Coma Cluster
B. M. Poggianti, T. J. Bridges, M. Yagi +5
A main topic at this meeting is how galaxies are affected when they enter for the first time the cluster environment from the outskirts. Most of the times we are forced to infer th…
The nature of the relative bias between galaxies of different spectral type in 2dFGRS
E. Conway, S. Maddox, V. Wild +29
We present an analysis of the relative bias between early- and late-type galaxies in the Two-degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS). Our analysis examines the joint counts in…
