Spectroscopy of Globular Clusters in the Fornax dwarf galaxy
Jay Strader, Jean P. Brodie, Duncan A. Forbes +2
We present low resolution, integrated Keck spectra of the five globular clusters (GCs) of the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy. We find a tentative age spread among the clusters, wit…
Simultaneous Modelling of the Stellar Halo and Globular Cluster System of NGC 5128
Michael A. Beasley, William E. Harris, Gretchen L. H. Harris +1
An important test for models of galaxy formation lies in the metallicity distribution functions (MDFs) of spheroid stars and their globular clusters (GCs).We have compared the MDFs…
Evidence for An Intermediate-Age, Metal-rich Population of Globular Clusters in NGC 4365
S. S. Larsen, J. P. Brodie, M. A. Beasley +4
We present spectroscopy for globular clusters (GCs) in the elliptical galaxy NGC 4365, obtained with the LRIS spectrograph on the Keck I telescope. Previous studies have shown that…
Forming Globular Cluster Systems in a Semi-analytic Scheme
Michael A. Beasley, Carlton M. Baugh, Duncan A. Forbes +2
We apply the semi-analytical galaxy formation code of Cole et al. to investigate the formation of globular cluster (GC) systems in hierarchical clustering scenarios. The nature of…
Forming Globular Cluster Systems Semi-analytically
M. A. Beasley, C. M. Baugh, D. A. Forbes +2
We describe a scheme for the formation of globular cluster systems in early-type galaxies using a semi-analytic model of galaxy formation. Operating within a Lambda CDM cosmology,…
Testing Stellar Population Models with Star Clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud
Michael A. Beasley, Fiona Hoyle, Ray M. Sharples
We present high S/N integrated spectra of 24 star clusters in the LMC obtained using the FLAIR spectrograph at the UK Schmidt. The spectra have been placed onto the Lick/IDS system…
