ACS photometry of newly-discovered globular clusters in the outer halo of M31
A. D. Mackey, A. Huxor, A. M. N. Ferguson +6
We report the first results from deep ACS imaging of ten classical globular clusters in the far outer regions (15 < R_p < 100 kpc) of M31. Eight of the clusters, including two of t…
ACS photometry of extended, luminous globular clusters in the outskirts of M31
A. D. Mackey, A. Huxor, A. M. N. Ferguson +6
A new population of extended, luminous globular clusters has recently been discovered in the outskirts of M31. These objects have luminosities typical of classical globular cluster…
A Deep Wide-Field Variable Star Catalog of Omega Centauri
David T. F Weldrake, Penny D Sackett, Terry J Bridges
We present a variable star catalog of an extensive ground-based wide-field variability survey in the globular cluster omega Centauri. Using the ANU 40-inch (1m) telescope at Siding…
The Globular Cluster Kinematics and Galaxy Dark Matter Content of NGC 4649 (M60)
T. Bridges, K. Gebhardt, R. Sharples +7
From observations with the GMOS multi-slit spectrograph on the Gemini North telescope, we have obtained spectra for 39 globular cluster candidates in the Virgo giant elliptical gal…
The 2dF-SDSS LRG and QSO (2SLAQ) Luminous Red Galaxy Survey
R. Cannon, M. Drinkwater, A. Edge +29
We present a spectroscopic survey of almost 15,000 candidate intermediate-redshift Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) brighter than i=19.8, observed with 2dF on the Anglo-Australian Tele…
Gemini/GMOS Spectra of Globular Clusters in the Virgo Giant Elliptical NGC 4649
Michael Pierce, Terry Bridges, Duncan A. Forbes +8
NGC 4649 (M60) is one of a handful of giant Virgo ellipticals. We have obtained Gemini/GMOS spectra for 38 GCs associated with this galaxy. Applying the multi-index chi^2 minimisat…
