Primordial pollution of globular clusters within their host dwarfs embedded in dark matter halos at high redshifts
Kenji Bekki
Recent observational studies have revealed star-to-star abundance inhomogeneity among light elements (e.g., C, N, O, Na, and Al) of stars on the main sequence in the Galactic globu…
Impact of dark matter subhalos on extended HI disks of galaxies: Possible formation of HI fine structures and stars
Kenji Bekki, Masashi Chiba
Recent observations have discovered star formation activities in the extreme outer regions of disk galaxies. However it remains unclear what physical mechanisms are responsible for…
The origin of the double main sequence in Omega Centauri: Helium enrichment due to gas fueling from its ancient host galaxy ?
Kenji Bekki, John E. Norris
Recent observational studies of Centauri by {\it Hubble Space Telescope} have discovered a double main sequence in the color magnitude diagrams (CMDs) of its stellar population…
Galaxy Groups: Proceedings from a Swinburne University Workshop
Virginia A. Kilborn, Kenji Bekki, Sarah Brough +6
We present the proceedings from a 2-day workshop held at Swinburne University on the 24th-25th of May 2005. The workshop participants highlighted current Australian research on bot…
Formation of intracluster globular clusters
Hideki Yahagi, Kenji Bekki
We first present the results of numerical simulations on formation processes and physical properties of old globular clusters (GCs) located within clusters of galaxies (``intraclus…
Discovery of Ultra-Compact Dwarf Galaxies in the Virgo Cluster
J. B. Jones, M. J. Drinkwater, R. Jurek +7
We have discovered nine ultra-compact dwarf galaxies (UCDs) in the Virgo Cluster, extending samples of these objects outside the Fornax Cluster. Using the 2dF multi-fiber spectrogr…
